30th April 2006. Kew Gardens.  

28th April 2006. Russell Square.  

29th April 2006. Nr the top of the Hill.  

29th April 2006. Sufferin' sukkatash (sp?). Raising money for cancer research, Rosedale on the streets again.  

download questions

Boing Boing report that "Sony artists reportedly earn $0.0045 for each $0.99 song sold on iTunes." Not sure if this helps you decide where to download your music from, but having to sell 200 songs to make a dollar seems a bit harsh, especially if there are a few of you in your band....

27th April 2006. One more. See it big - worthwhile I promise.  

27th April 2006. Almost too bright.  

27th April 2006. Tell me when you give in.... 

27th April 2006. From the Hill again.

Spring attempt 

Charlie Clark Cock Up

Given the news, one suspects that dear Mr Charlie "I'm hard, me" Clark won't be in post next week. Although given that we have an education secretary who thinks that sex offenders should be free to work in schools, maybe he will.

24th April 2006. On the way home.  

Photo Competition

So the competition last week was the best sunset photo. In the absence of any other competitors / in the absence of my announcing the competition to a wider field than just me and my brother(!), I won. This week the competition theme is "spring". So, snap away. My sister-in-law is the judge - send your links to the blog and let the best person win. I shall send a random CD to the winning photographer.

1989. Dead Sea. And may I say that my excuse is that I was young and knew no better.

Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps.

21st April 2006. Kew. 

Nice little snapper

H2D-39. The letter / number combo I want for Christmas. And anyone who thinks £21,000 is a bit much for a camera hasn't seen the thing. Beautiful.

Lil Jon

Just listened to my first, and possibly last, crunk track - Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz (surely that last Z went out in the 80s?) singing about some m*********n' s**t, ho'! I like the bass, the aggression and the beat, it's just the rest that's unbearable. Altho' that is probably the point.

18th April 2006 One for lilbro.  

21st April 2006. Kew again.  

21st April 2006 Kew. "Come in, come in....sorry about the mess...we had a bit of a do yesterday."  

One of his mates. Same time, place, camera. 

17th April 2006. Mandarin duck, Isabella plantation. The first with new camera (Nikon D50, 55-200mm lens, no other details). Shame his tail is cut off but otherwise I like him.  

God how I miss this... 

It's a hard life.  

A few years ago now...  

1980s. Greenhouse pots.  

1980s - Chorleywood Common (or perhaps near the River Chess). How lucky we were.  

1987 Chorleywood Common.
