Here we go again with a thread full of everyday stuff - show us what's going on in your little life bubble!

Show us yer kecks on the washing line, show us yer dinner, show us yer muddy boots or maybe show us that unmade bed you couldn't be arsed with this morning. Owt ya fancy!

Me? I'm off to the supermarket and I'm tending the plants in the yard. How's that for dull?

Me, I was working all day, nowt interesting, but by 6pm we started to get some nice clouds forming, so took a drive up Pendle Hill...

So my car on Pendle Hill...

By the time I got to Whalley a few miles away, the light had changed again....

I got wet...

Have you not been too lucky with weather in the North East lately BP?  I know we have had rain on and off over the last three days, but set to get brighter as the week goes on down here.

Normally I’d be laying under wagons like this keeping them on the road. This week I’m on holiday

A local group, the Hyndburn Butterfly Project has planted a Butterfly Wildflower Meadow in a local park and already 11 species of butterflies have been seen.

I thought I'd take a look...

Very colourful wildflower meadow Rye - hope it does what was intended.

The camera only came out late yesterday afternoon for a quick grab shot...….. isn't this cute!:

She would not let him out any further, too cold and too windy.

Sorry for the inactivity...……. 4 appointments for David this week and I have the most atrocious head cold. My nose is stuffed, my throat is stuffed and I think my brain is stuffed too!

Will look in the archives for one to put in the weekly challenge, and I might still get one for the weekly project.

The M25, it is like this EVERY day of the week if you are transiting anti clockwise to the Dartford Crossing.

Taken with engine off, handbrake on & keys on the wheel, this particular lot stretched back 5 miles and didn't even make the traffic news as it is..normal!

To be honest, this would drive me nuts if I had to do this everyday. I used to commute to Manchester and had to leave by 7pm any later and it could sometimes take 4 hours to go 20 odd miles....

I feel your pain. A few months back had a breakdown at  dungeness , i queued from the M11/M25 junction to the M25/M20 junction. Got there 3 hours late. I then had to drop a driver off at  leatherhead, knowing that the dartford crossing was still blocked. I decided to carry on going clockwise around the M25, bad move. Accident a few miles down the M25.  I ended up crawling along the motorway for another 3 hours in rush hour. Then another few hours crawling up the M11 to Cambridge. I managed 20 minutes work all day, replacing a hydraulic hose.  Luckily I’m paid by the hour lol

Today's same old same old...

Yet another Camera Club evening outing - this time to Sharpenhoe Clappers.  We were in search of butterflies again.

What a contrast between our two photographs

[Ryewolf]

On Sunday you'll be able to photograph yourself stuck behind vintage cars as they head back to Halifax....
