Outside
An interesting prompt! Led me to this sign in the window of the 1910 cafe. Loving the font!
A Faceless Portrait
So 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.

Colour
Poxy colour prompt today, always a challenge when trying to deal almost exclusively in monochrome. Thankfully this red man at the crossing benefits from shape in addition to colour as a tool to convey the message!
Luckily it’s still wintery here so was able to wander about in the dark looking for this image.
In other news am keeping busy which is keeping the blues at bay. My mental health is still a little on the fragile side. Could do with finding some sort of mood tracker for this place. Theres a challenge for me.
Musically has been a bit of a good day, new single from Kevin and discover the delights of The Blake Babies courtesy of a link via Bob of the Dentists. Always good to come across new stuff!

Word for 2023
Word for 2023, obviously optimism lurks somewhere inside me, or am I trying to hide in plain sight. Could just be a simple response to a prompt I’m not that keen on.

Hello
And 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.
