Misfits Mid-Life Crisis Adventures in East London (Week 6 of Lockdown the Third).

Week 347, Saturday 6^thuntil Friday 12^thFebruary 2021.

As I have mentioned before I take photos of anything that moves, usually using my phone, tablet or small digital camera.  However the last couple of weeks I have been pointing out of the window looking on to the garden my Cannon Digital SLR camera.  Shamefully this has sat in my bedroom for the last few years without being used.  All of this has changed, in fact this week it has sat next to the work laptop, regularly zooming in on the bushes and feeders a few metres away enjoying the life walking, hopping and flapping in the small amount of snow that fell.

Talking about snow, when I had to travel to work on public transport it was a major annoyance and irritation.  Because of working from home, this week it was a delight to watch from the warmth of the living room. 

Because this week once again I haven’t been anywhere I present a series of photos taken with the Cannon camera.  Maybe next week I will have some real content (don’t count on it; I have had any for the last 347 weeks, why should I find some in the next seven days).

And Finally……

One day at work, while cutting and pasting the surname “Dickson”, all that appeared was “Dick”.  Having a childish sense of humour, this made me laugh.  By the way the person really was a dick.

While driving back from the shops my friend and I enjoyed a song playing on the radio, the problem was we couldn’t remember the singer’s name.  Suggestions that we throw back and forth included “Bin Bag Man”, Garbage Man”, Scrap Metal Man and my personal fave “Ball Bag Man”.  In the end my friend had to look it up.  It is now that I would like to publicly apologise to Rory Charles Graham who is known professionally as “Rag ‘n’ Bone Man” for forgetting who he was.  This won’t happen again.
