Damned cheap crap
I am getting a little tired of can openers.
It doesn’t seem to matter how much I pay for them they all seem to break from the same basic failure.
They are cheap steel with a chrome coating and they are not sealed properly.
The end result is that they all fail and snap at some point.
If they were stronger metal without the cheap coating they would not have this issue.
I will just have to get a much more expensive one, and make sure it is not fast constructed for pence on a production line in the Third World.
Food for Shrove Tuesday
So this year Pancake Day falls just before Valentines.
We will be out at a non romantic event on Thursday so I thought I would push the boat a little further out this Shrove Tuesday.
I present, cinnamon and sugar pancakes with vanilla ice cream, a peach and malt whisky coolie drizzled with cinnamon sugar and accompanied by a Proseco.
The flowers were from a friend, Mikey, when Leigh was ill and te Candle a natural beeswax one we found at a craft fair. The candle holder was made by Ben for us as a Christmas Present at nursery.
Religious Image
Still on the theme of the Photo Challenge set by castaway on her blog today I took a wander outside after my one day of sickness yesterday, to capture some images of a Religious theme.
The choice was obvious as there is a nearby church that i could get access to, and it seems that I was fortunate it was visible from the road as the first image will reveal.
I really like the look and shape of the building, and it makes me wonder what it is like inside, it looks squat, despite the towering height, the lack of a steeple adds to this, but it is also the width, I wonder if it has large transepts…
The Images including the grunged Gothic image that is my image of the day, I could hardly be a fan of Dark metal without doing some kind of remix to a crucifix.
The February Challenge
I am continuing to do the challenge set by the excellent Castaway on her blog for February, and as part of that participated in today’s challenge to photograph a child.
Luckily for me I caught a break today with Elliott being held by his mummy in the rain and finding it hilarious that we were getting wet and i was holding a camera. So I managed to snap a few good images of him.
It’s especially gratifying as yesterday he was one year old, and was filled with quite a bad cold so pretty miserable from feeling ill, so seeing him closer towards his usual chipper self is really great.
Onto the images:
3 Colours Blue
Castaway, also known as Jess Robinson, is running a challenge this month on her blog. The premise is that she will set a daily photo challenge and she and others must fulfil it.
The idea is to encourage you to get out and take a creative image with a camera, this will make you take some fresh air, get some exercise and be creative.
I managed to miss the first few days and with my fairly full schedule I doubt I can commit to this for even one month as I do have some goals of my own.
However, I am determined to do a few of them and hopefully help inspire Jess in return.
Today was the colour blue and I took a trio of images while out to reflect that.
These images were all taken with an iPhone 4 and clean passed through Snapseed.
