A Slice Of Your Life 21/05/18 - 27/05/18

Not a lot happening for me today, spent the first half in bed after a night shift and the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out how to overcome the Flickr linking problem.

So, this from me today. 10 days ago I planted a wisteria, hoping it will eventually give us some separation from the neighbours. I'm taking a picture a day during the growing season, if only to convince myself that I don't kill every plant I touch  
Trouble is, I'm clueless as to what to do now, does it need pruning or do I just leave it to get on with it?

10 days ago.

 

Today.

Give it circa 20 years and it should look like ours.........

Pruning Wisteria needs Googling it isn’t like other trees....

A belated one from yesterday - this is how my busy day finished. Not unusual in this house Brodie does like my chair!:

Mine is a very late slice of life as I was working all day and didn't go out with my camera until 17:30pm, I spent about 45 mins bug hunting at Springwood Whalley and then went to bird watching at the weir at Whalley as I was interested in seeing if the Crows were there fishing again and at least one was.

Anyway today I saw two new things I haven't photographed before:

Click Beetle - possibly Athous haemorrhoidalis - I've never seen this beetle before

And a Dipper - I see loads of them but they're always to far away and too brief...

It's always a good day when you photograph or see something new.....

Today I will try to get some photography time.

Did another little cruise out today. Stopped off to walk the girls in our equivalent of your bluebell wood:

Went to Dunnolly to grab a lunch and I tried a new pie - Cauli, Broocoli & Cheese. Was very nice.:

This is what the inside of my brain looks like today after 4 hours of trying to rebuild a controller only to realize I was doing it wrong.

I needed to be doing it the old way not the new way silly me but I had actually deleted the old way from my head to make way for the new way.

This is not my hair by the way it was maybe 10 years ago but not anymore.

The decking needs painting but it will keep for now.

My evening down at Whalley, today I thought I'd post some of the views....

The White House by the River

The Weir on the River Calder, Whalley. The building in the background is a hydro plant powered by an Archimedean Screw.

You're getting better weather than us - grey, cold and damp here

It's been like this all week, no rain, blue skies, sun, it hardly seems like Lancashire at all..... the car thermo said 23.5c today at 5pm and it's forecast to be the same for the next few days...

[Kobione]

Just a view from the lounge window as the sun came up this morning:

Been busy again all day emceeing another exercise presentation day, conducting work shops on family history research and introduction to Tai Chi. Phew! Time for a drinkie me thinks!

[Kobione]

Out again for a little while today, sat and had a coffee at a nice quiet spot:

We just got one intruder that knocked on the windscreen to come in and share the cake:

Did have a couple more to post but Photobucket is being very awkward and won't let me in.

I didn't get out yesterday (Friday as it rained most of the day), but today was lovely for the 1940' Weekend on the ELR. I must admit I was a bit disappointed with most of my images from today, but these sorta sumed the day up...

Spitfire...

Bride and Groom ....

[Kobione]

Restricted to home today, but the day started off with a nice 'dramatic' sunrise:

Then the day turned in to a 'cooking day', a dozen nice muffins for David, so the freezer is stocked up for him:

A beef and veggie stockpot for Kelly & Brodie:

And then I saw two lovely Eastern Rosellas playing on the soil piles we have our the back at the moment:

Nice finish to the afternoon, all I have to do now is cook tea.

Lovely out there this morning...

[CanonChrissy]

Bp a very arty shot. I like it.

[Ryewolf]

It was another day out at the ELR 1940's weekend, alas of the 500 shots this is the only one processed so for.

MP's were a familiar sight when I lived in Plymouth... Taken with my big Sigma 150-600mm

Jumping back to this week briefly.

I've had a good few days at work (hence my absence), thankfully we avoided the rain that plagued much of the country, in fact, apart from a brief shower last Friday, we've had no rain at all. This is how our days have looked:
