This is for the alternative meme made available for anyone who doesn’t have a car and so didn’t want to do this week’s main meme. Many of us have of course chosen to do both! I deceided to do this with two extra rules: (a) the pictures must come from the first two pages of results and (b) each would be a skyscape. The latter was surprisingly easy; number 10 being the biggest challenge. Enjoy!

1. black / white

Homeward Bound
Homeward Bound, originally uploaded by kcm76.
This week’s self-portrait: 52 Weeks 28/52 (2008 week 36).
Taken in the car by the light of the streetlamps on the way home after a day out. (And no, I wasn’t driving!)
In fact we’d been to Lowestoft for the day (long trip!) as Noreen wanted to meet up with one of her aunts and discuss family history. we met Noreen’s cousin and her husband for lunch (yummy!) and then the “girls” spent the afternoon with their aunt while Tim and I amused ourselves (separately). I spent most of the afternoon on the seafront (which was cool, dull, intermittently wet and windy; with a good swell running on the outgoing tide) taking equally dull photographs. I know I saw the less interesting bits of Lowestoft, and the weather was against us, but sorry guys, the place is a dive. But it was a good day out and blew away some of the cobwebs.

I guess I should explain that our first two cats were Floss (white & black; male) and Bubbles (aka Pickle; tortie & white; female) were rescued from Blue Cross at Victoria in August 1981. They were followed by the present two Harry (grey & white; male) and Sally (tabby; female) from Blue Cross at Hammersmith in December 1998. H&S appear from time to time on these pages. Notwithsatnding that there were always pets around home: cats, a dog, a tortoise, a duck. Oh and of course we also have fish. Now I know we’re mad!
Determined to do this without a human in any frame!

Wedding Ring
Wedding Ring, originally uploaded by kcm76.
This week’s self-portrait: 52 Weeks 26/52 (2008 week 34).
Sadly this isn’t my original wedding ring (that’s now too small, cracked, and on a chain round my neck); this one was made some 15-20 years ago by a local craftsman goldsmith. It still astonishes me that I’ve been wearing a wedding ring – yes since the day Noreen and I married – for almost 29 years (anniversary in a couple of weeks time)! We often look at each other and say “how did we do it?”.
