I look back and realise how little I’ve written here. It’s a very strange mixture of being busy but doing nothing worthwhile mentioning at the same time :glum: You’d think that if you were really busy there’d be loads to talk about – not me!
One thing – Big Brother (henceforth known as BB) started last weekend. We haven’t watched very much but that’s what happened last time – started of very non committal about it but then got hooked! damnit!

Well after spending about 100 quid on film, developing and camera hire this is about the only image that I like 🙁
There are a couple of B&W ones that I might scan in – we’ll have to see.

Synopsis: Busy but uneventful weekend had by London based Kiwi.
X-pan: Had real trouble getting my head around the panoramic format. I really takes a whole new way of thinking that I have an idea would take a while to get. Spent 8 hours on Saturday taking photos both on my my own and with a buddy of mine Mark. I took the 2 films in to be developed and printed today (48 quid for 1 colour and 1 B&W neg film – bugger me!) I’m not getting them scanned so y’all probably won’t get to see them. If need be I’ll scan the prints on my cheapo flatbed.
Brunch: Sunday morning Vic, Richi, Fi and I went to Wapping Food for brunch. I wanted to go ‘cos they had a photo exhibition based around September 11th. The pictures were quite amazing and some of them were printed at 5m square! The impact of the photos almost made up for the rather mediocre food. Everybody else’s eggs were stone cold when they turned up and so were promptly sent back. Cold + hard boiled I can live with but cold + runny just creeps me out!

Week two of dieting and the figures are:
Date……………………27 May
Weight………………..195 lbs
Loss/Gain week…..2 lbs
Loss/Gain Total……7 lbs
The loss has slowed but 2lbs in the week is OK and expected. A couple of slip-ups during the week but nothing to serious.

I was going to do the Friday Five today but had a look at them and really couldn’t be arsed.
They are about dreams and so I couldn’t be bothered for 2 reasons. The first is on the whole my dreams aren’t really very interesting. The second is dreams mean almost as little to me as astrology (which is saying something)
Miserable? Maybe.

yeehaa! I pick up my rental x-pan camera this afternoon 
I’m very excited about it but unfortunately the weather forecast isn’t looking good 🙁
Oh – and here’s a picture of one of Vic’s flowers I bought her:

Here’s a quickly snapped image of the flowers I bought Vic. She loved them, asked what I was apologising for (nothing) and then went back to loving them
Not bad for supermarket bought flowers I thought.

I know it’s probably quite normal but the older I get the hairier I get! I’ve never been the most hirsute person in the world and until the last few years you’d be hard pressed to see much hair if I just had my shirt off.
Over the last couple of years though there has been a serious increase in the amount of hair – especially on my stomach. If this carries on I’ll look like Neanderthal man by the time I retire……… :glum:
