I suppose the title gives it away.
But in case it didn’t, I’ve spent the day doing boring things in a hot shop with very poor ventilation.
I spent a good portion of the afternoon drinking cold fizzy drinks from the shop across the road. This could have been a fatal amount of sugar, but it was a risk I was prepared to take. Tomorrow I will be taking water in bottles that have been in the freezer overnight. The plan is that they will provide a constant supply of cold water as they gradually melt.
I will let you know how that goes.
These brilliant plans have a habit of not working out.
I thought I’d use some photographs from the Lake District to remind me of more interesting times and less oppressive weather.
It’s on days like this that my thoughts turn to new career paths. With my lack of talent and qualifications I have very little choice. I can win the lottery or I can…
That’s about it.
I could write a profitable blog, but I’ve never quite grasped the principle when reading those websites about making thousands of dollars.
I could, I suppose, film myself doing things and become an internet sensation, like Grumpy Cat. I can do grumpy, but that probably isn’t enough to become an Internet Sensation.
I may have to look at content writing again.
Or I might buy a fan for my desk. It will be winter soon enough and then I will just have the boredom to cope with.
Boredom isn’t too bad.
Though the job would be improved by having a window looking out at a lake.
Here’s a shot taken using the “Dramatic” setting on the camera. I couldn’t resist.
Ullswater again
Pied Wagtail, Ullswater
And here’s a picture of a Pied Wagtail. I tried fifteen shots and this is the only one with a whole unblurred bird in it.
Very good shot of the wagtail. They are not at all easy to catch as they will keep wagging their b*****y tail.
As a guide to photographing wagtails I feel your comment cannot be bettered. 🙂
Knowing you luck, the temperature will plummet today
Today was still hot, though tomorrow looks like being cooler. If this continues I’m going to ring Greenpeace to hose me down. 🙂
🙂 Let’ s pray it is cooler today
It was a bit more bearable. 🙂
I like those photos; very dramatic that one! Lake District is on the list..the someday list, although my somedays may become soon days.
It’s well worth a visit. 🙂
the frozen bottle thing works. But for the one you want to start with you should just fill it about 1/3 the way up and top with water in the morning. I have that for visits to the garden and pour in iced tea (I know; sacrilege). And if it’s going to be a long day I pull out the frozen ones. Yes, a window does help. I’ve just moved from an office cave to an office with a window after 6 years and 4 months! It’s a whole new world!
Good plan – I hadn’t thought of doing it that way. Six years and four months – sounds like you were counting down to the end of your incarceration. 🙂
