Limpetboy's Old Ramblings

We have been invaded all this week.... by midgets.....well kids. Yes since Jo decided to tell her nieces that they could pop over anytime when visiting the park just round the corner from our house.....they have. Yes they have been round 3 times already since the weekend. The weekend is looking bright as well as they are planning on staying over on Friday, so there is no escape. Well at least I get my first proper photo assignment as I'm supposed to get some nice pictures of them both for the family, just hope my skills are up to it

After having photoshop for a while i have never really got to grips with it, mainly due to not taking the time to figure it out. So i have been reading bits and pieces here and there and also started re-reading my "in easy steps" book. Although i have read stuff i have not really tried anthing out yet so i have tried to photoshop a couple of photos and these are the results not too bad but still need a lot of practice.

Yes i decided to slash out all of about £15 and get a pro Flickr account. It had to be done really with the ammount of photos i am building up i needed somewhere to put them all, and now i do. Just hope somebody enjoys them, and we will see how my skills (or lack of) progess, especially as i want an new camera, ooh what to have. I'm torn at the moment between these two:- Do i go for full on digital SLR www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos350d/ Or Do i get the all inclusive prosumer digicam www.dpreview.com/news/0507/05072803fuji_s9000zs9500z.asp I don't know yet, time will tell

Not with myself, well that's not what I was referring to in this instance. I mean my template of course. Being totally bored at work gives you just to much time to fiddle, fnar, Double entendre's don't you just love 'em, it's like living in a Carry on movie (Queue Sid James laugh) Ha Ha Ha. Any way back to the point, I was getting bored of the old template so tried a new one but got bored of that too, hopefully I'll stick with this one, although I might tweak the colours slightly if I ever find out how to do that.

Yes I have finally started the 40 pinter of cider yesterday, and it is nicely frothing away as the those lovely yeasties turn all that sugar into lovely alcohol. So a week in the bucket fermenting then it goes into the pressure barrel for another couple of weeks and after that to drink when ever. Ooh I can't wait, hopefully it will be nice and flavoursome. Right whens the party!!!!!

Not entirely sure what happened here with this photo but Ross seems to have caught on fire after Chudplug got too close with the scented candles. You can also see Ross with his concoction before this terrible accident. But seriously was a good night the even the weather couldn't put a dampener on in the end, and well done with the barbeque skills to Lee and Putin for a valiant effort despite the rain and eye watering smoke.

Well yesterday was certainly a full day which started with the Spurs v Reading friendly. It was my first biggish football match in quite a while, as i don't think Hamilton Accies really count. Was an ok game, the first half was rather scrappy with Spurs getting 2 goals, but on the whole the second half was a lot better with much more fluid play, and showed that Reading weren't as such small fry compared to their Premiership opponents. Was an enjoyable game and we even got to see Edgar Davids in the directors box.

Well everything is all present and correct, it's just a matter of when and which one? Will it be a nice Australian lager or a lovely country cider? Also when will i do it as it needs to be sometime around a gathering so it will get used, as i'm not sure if i can drink 40 pints on my own, well maybe if i was on top form i could. May have to be an excuse for a party, if only i have sorted this out in time for this weekend, would have been good.

Blimey i've managed to post something else, not that this will say much. Just getting over being i'll at the moment, i don't know what is the point of viruses are, they're rubbish, all they do is replicate, i mean prions can do that and they aren't even considered to be alive, they're just protein, they don't even have RNA. Any how but i still managed to play squash today after work, and even on the verge of death played an alright game. Also updated my Flickr page with some new photos if you fancy a peruse www.flickr.com/photos/limpetboy But in case you can't be bother here are a couple or three, had to add the last one as someone actually added a comment on Flickr and said nice shot....Fame at last.

Well finally another post here after over 6 months absence, so much has happened and has been a busy week last week. Cinema, park, BBQ, Kings of Leon gig, tennis, golf i'm fecking knackered. Also thought i would post a photo i took today, i was experimenting trying to take a photo of a water droplet. Seeing as i did this on my lunch break from work, and i didn't have much time, i'm quite proud of this one.
