Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
Summat fishy going on here....! :).
ReplyDeleteWhen l was at Poole Tech. College..many moons ago now, l used to love going down to Poole Quay and watch the fishermen, then in later years, l used to take my daughter down, on a Sunday, and buy fresh fish straight off the boats..You used to point out which fish you wanted, they'd put them in a bag, l usually paid a fiver, back home, fresh fish for tea...there not allowed to do it now of course! Pity!
It IS a pity Willie, I couldn't agree more! That sounds like a lovely memory for you. I'm pretty much addicted to fish myself - 7 days a week wouldn't be problem.
ReplyDeleteThis is Mudeford Quay where we stopped for lunch. It was a beautiful Spring day with some warmth in the sun, but it was still very cold and windy on the quay. I was impressed by this guy working in difficult conditions, so hard and cheerfully, whistling as he went. We'd spent a similarly cold, physically taxing, but cheerful morning ourselves and at this point in the day I felt tired but content and fulfilled. I didn't know that the very next job would bring a very difficult encounter with a customer, which suddenly made everything feel like hard work in a whole different way - hence the title of the post.
