Month: January 2009

  • We have two good knees between us

    We went for a short and slow walk. I have a knee, that I now suspect, needs a considerable period of rest and Lynne’s knee needs a careful return to full exercise.

    Lynne and I made trip to London. I needed to visit the BETT Exhibition at Olympia (IT things to do with Education) and we combined it with a visit to Sarah and Mark at Clapham Common and then on to Wimbledon to see Al and Annie. All on public transport! I forgot to mention on our walk on Wimbledon common where we spotted a pair of parakeets squawking and showing off bring green plumage. A first for me in Britain.

    The weather was changing as we walked in Swallow’s wood. The clouds suggested that the cold spell was close to being over.

  • Out and about over Christmas


    No depression for me this year! Even though I cannot cycle – a knee problem – the cold weather and a lot of sunshine meant that I could be outside with a camera.

  • Judy, Mike and Lynne – not last week!

    I put some of the family’s photographs on-line a few months ago. Over Christmas we looked at them again and I realised that I had not completed the job. My father had them scanned and a few of these have a lot of dirt on them or the colours are wrong. I have spent some time adjusting them using Photoshop. I notice that I frequently had a camera in my hand and that it should have been no surprise that I took up climbing after looking at some of the shots of me on the beach an in the mountains.
