Fetch bike from Eckersley Mill, pleasantly surprised to be able to ride it. Saddle needs dropping, tyres changing, gears sorting and a bit of other fettling. Not bad for forty five notes. Before shots below.Look Up

Faceless Portrait

A Faceless Portrait

1st, April 2023, FMS Photo A Day, Garage, Indie, Music, Saturday

Faceless PortraitSo a trip out to Sainsbury’s this morning for a bit of scran and some clothes for the holiday.  End up with a pair of jeans and buying some trainers via Amazon.  Have to admit, am looking forward to the break.

However first port of call was to pick up the holiday tickets, brief visit to Andy’s All Day Breakfast.  Coffee and a sausage sarnie.  Neither were great, come to the conclusion the place is all fur coat and no knickers.

Feeling down still but is just about manageable.

TV is shite…. so cooking is welcome.  Off to the laundrette tomorrow so this afternoon rounded up the requisite change.

Adventures with beetroot burgers, parsnip, carrot and beetroot chips alongside sweet corn tonight.  Might be ok or could be truly revolting!

Beginning to make headway with this place.

Hello 2023

Hello

1st, FMS Photo A Day, Garage, Indie, January 2023, Music, Pop, Portraiture, Selfies, Sunday, , , , , , , , ,

Hello 2023And so 2023 begins.  Serious attempt this year to keep it monochrome.  First prompt of the year is hello, an excuse for a selfie.

Not feeling great at the time tbh, mental health could be better and part of the treatment is to keep to routines and maintain things that in better times I enjoy.

Anyway the visuals of this Hello for 2023 have there origins in the amount of a person that is hidden from public display.  We’re all like icebergs with a hell of a lot that goes on beyond sight! That and it’s a very superficial hello to 2023.

Clearly prepared carefully for it with a far from clean cut image! But what the heck! Hopefully 2023 will be better than 2022 a year that has brought some joy along with a hell of a lot of pain.
