“My thoughts expressed through my words…”

The House

Posted on | July 19, 2009 | No Comments

Hello hello hello. I’m back. Hopefully this time it’s regular. The reason I’ve had a bit of a gap since the last post is that I’ve bought a house, and been spending some time to move in and do some work on it.

So here’s a quick update with some piccies of how it was on the day I got the keys. There’ll be some more going up as and when I get round to doing some stuff to it. Front room, Bathroom, Garden is the order I’m gonna be working on it.

So I hope you like the piccies and, I’ll be back soon with the updates on how I’m setting up the Living Room with a nice Tv and entertainment centre. Plus (maybe) the £577 sofa I’ve just made myself poor with, thanks to Homebase. :D

Today I did something in the sun

Posted on | May 24, 2009 | No Comments

And it was cleaning. Yay.

My wheels on my car are now shiny white. The car’s still covered in crap, but the wheels are nice and clean! I’ll probably get around to the bodywork today or maybe tomorrow. Then do the inside. But I feel it’s time my car had some TLC to get it back into top condition so I’m going to give the paint a good clean and try to t-cut out some of the lovely souvenirs that students in the car park at work have left me. And shine up the inside too.

So here’s to step one of the process. Black wheels into white.

I’m back… With a twist!

Posted on | May 15, 2009 | No Comments

I’m back!

Back to promise that I’ll be back again… Again.

This time with a small twist. I’m going to say that I won’t be posting for a week or so. But will then (hopefully) be posting on a regular/semi-regular basis. I’m going to use the slower summer and lack of ‘work’ I have on to try and rebuild my web presence. From this blog, to my ‘professional’ arm (cd03.co.uk). Plus all the bits inbetween (meaning I’m gonna have attempt number 3 at actually using Twitter :-| ).

So once work is all quietened down – which will be after I have done the final Magazine and sent it off to the printers, and then done a quick cleanup on any loose ends that have come in whilst I was magazine-ing [sic] – I shall be making a proper effort to be posting up what my life is getting up to.

Thanks, once again, for coming here thinking something interesting was going to be said – seeing it wasn’t – and then not attacking me in the street with a bottle because of that fact.

Yeah. I’m alive. It’s been that long my Wordpress is far, far, out of date and I definitely need to update more. Here’s my regular “I will update more” post. Honest, this time I’ll try harder…

Ooh, I got me a new lens for the camera. A Tamron 17-50mm zoom. Er.. ‘Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR LD ASPHERICAL (IF)’ for short.

Looking forward to getting to use it a bit. Trying desperately to scrape the cash together for a decent flashgun which should make work a whole lot easier when being photographer at the gigs and events. Not so much on stage action, but in the crowd and group shots mainly. Not that a decent bounce flash wouldn’t help no end with some of the sketchy lighting on our stage. Then again, we do have the new lighting rig that hasn’t lost it’s virginity yet, so that may make things better?

Dave is thinking.... Hard
Will try throw up some shots with the new lens when I get some. For now you can have Dave, was just a quick shot to make sure the lens was all working. Don’t expect miracles!
