MisterMac has always fancied going on a storm-chasing trip (although I suspect he's actually more of an armchair storm chasing enthusiast). I, on the other hand, have never fancied it and as the skies suddenly turned black at 3.00 this…

We're getting good at planning these family barbecues for rainy days! From L to R: Izzy's funky toenail design as part of her new look, Messrs Mac and Barrett valiantly trying to cook burgers and sausages on barbecues sizzling with…

Rather a busy day, so only time for a grab shot of something orange poking through the fence. I did think about not publishing a pic today, but that would be the first time in more than four years and…

I have Lizzie to thank for the inspiration behind this. I think I've mentioned before my contemplation of a supermarket set of pix . I would like to do the contents of people's trolleys, but people don't like you snapping…

I love chinese food, but am singularly unimpressed by the rear-view of the local takeaway. Not sure I'll be dealing here.

I think my little car needs replacing, so looking around for a new one. The reflection inset shows the one on offer at the local garage, but I don't really like it. I'm going to try and get my old…

Literally! The secret squirrel language of the road diggers. A fascinating collection of hieroglyphics, numbers and different colours. I'm sure if I took the trouble to search the net, there would be a dictionary of road-markings and their meanings.

A possible start to a new set of observational pix. I quite like the idea of staking out charity shops and snapping the things people leave on the pavement outside opening hours - is it all their old junk that…

I'm rather taken with the work of Gudrun Kremsa, in which she photographs cities and then removes all the brand names. I quite like the idea of doing this with products, but my first attempt (with Coca-Cola) took way too…

Heading off to rural pastures for a few weeks to deal with family stuff. I've packed the back-burner as it is in danger of collapsing under the weight of the research I haven't read and need to read. Unlikely to…

It's good to have them. 'Es gibt nichts besseres als einen guten Freund. Ausser einen guten Freund mit Schokolade.' Thanks J:-)

Taking a well-earned rest. I really admire our construction workers and how they work in the freezing cold, the pouring rain and the brutal heat. Hats off to them (well, not literally, of course, for that would be a breach…

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! I was obviously thinking of the media when I took this, but it is the only pic from today that bears a crown. Alternatives were some dustbins, some rusty locks, distorted reflections…

Because I just liked it! I'm also enjoying the loan camera and not having to shoot at f8 and infinity.

Common or garden plants in a communal garden. I really like the way these little communal gardens are springing up on bits of unused land.

I've signed up to an initiative whereby you receive a partly-written story and a photo from the previous author. You write the next part of the story based on that image and then send it on to the next person…
