without words?

what I like about snapshots and blogging is that they are, like instant coffee,
spontaneous and ready in a minute or two
- which is why my videophone images keep their numbers and don't get renamed, which would be better for google or webmaster work - I use new daily dated and named folders on my own machine - these are in 20070415-breakfast-cactus currently on my desktop but later to be moved into a folder 2007-snaps which will be finally moved and backed up on some external had disks

I wanted to post this without words but I don't think that would work for this piece unless you knew me and my world really well

the roar of a diesel compressing rubbish go me to look out of my window to see what was going on - a BLURRED loud voice said "This vehicle is going backwards . . . . . ." instead of beeping as they did


still a bit misty

this snap tells a lot aboit me if you can read it layer by layer

the back thingy is a cardboard post tube with a couple of thin ikea cushions rolled over it and tied with sisal. Made in by me Copenhagen about 10 years ago it helps my back remain pain free by contolling my posture in the smallof my back when working 12 hour days as a taxi driver, on a plane or train - or blogging.

the corner of a freebie A4 calender diary I write my bookings in
iWR Information World Review for March 2007 was sent to me because I am going to NEC Library and information show
A4 200 Pages 5 Subject Note Book from Poundland
the entry you can see:-

LAPHAM MARY
Bradley's Building aged 28

the three ticks √ √ √ overwritten mean that the data from Bath St James parish register Burials (written into my big note book when I visited the Bath archives in September 2006) has been entered into my personal Family Tree Maker 16 family file

breakfast
and back on a stricter diet for week three
less carbohydrate - no oats now
the skimmed milk in the jug has the same protein value as an egg- but no fat
I let the tea stew to get more ante-cancer stuff out of it and into me
week one I lost 4 kg but week two zero


my set up with the MacBook Pro which is getting my mail

I use a danish keyboard layout because it is much easier for double strike diacriticals like née I needed above and the Ææ Øø Åå which are 27 th., 28th and 29th letters of the danish alphabet
@ is a problem in windows because the Apple Keyboard has no alt gro key so I just copy paste from te Mac OS


I finally broke up the big box my from Pentwyn Cardiff in which my Quintrix F digital Panasonic TX-28DT4 28" television came in and recycled it into a second sun screen
thesun finally began to shine at 10.28 am and I need to use the sun screen until about 11:45 am

twenty degrees when I came into the balcony (not onto the balcony because it is enclosed - english grammar tricks) and so I have turned off my central heating (one storage heater) note the twelve empty pots from my LIDL cactus

and here are the first buds on one of my cactuses - cactus flower

I celebrated by watering them all - a once a month event - I simulated a desert rain storm by submerging each cactus and pot in my watering can for a couple of seconds - one of the tall cactii has long since heeled over and died of root rot - it just got smaller and smaller
Bosworth Drive down below


beneath my Merton House window - not too much rubbish but long lasting - like weeks - and the dog poo created bare patches are too small to show on the google maps
but the path and bushes do:-
click hybrid and zoom in on b37 5bx - Google Maps the shadows show it is at about 3:00 pm the old medical centre is there still no cars parked at the school suggests a holiday
but the shops are open and BHX airport is very busy - Google Maps


the sun appeared red through and above the clouds but is "burned out" in the image


I am an indoor naturist so I use a pillow to sit on and I remembered to change the cover today - this one came out of my late mother's linen chest

in writing this blog I needed an URL fo my family tree hughw36 - checking out myself by Google Search
