Last night I checked out all the references to me on Google. There aren’t many but I thought if I looked them up once a week and maybe listed them on the blog I may drive myself up the ratings.
At work, I did a lot of photography. The owner has been sorting out loads of coins for eBay but he doesn’t do photography. That’s my job. It’s kept me busy for a few days so I mustn’t grumble, but today I messed up slightly. When photographing runs of virtually identical objects I normally photograph a few markers or notes amongst them so I know what things are as I load them. I forgot today.
As a result I ended up struggling to sort photos of pennies with wide dates and narrow dates. Yes, collectors do differentiate between such things.
Wartime Lincoln Cents
As a result of that and an influx of customers (with no appointments) I was late picking Julia up.
We arrived home to find my sister had sent us another selection of masks. She has selected a more masculine design this time and uprated the nose clip by replacing the bendy metal strip with an iron bar. I discovered this the hard way when I put it on and tried to bend it round my nose. It was touch and go whether the iron bar or my nose bent first. She claims it’s only a stout piece of wire, but I’m not convinced.
We had fish and chips for tea. I had some of Julia’s chips instead of having a portion myself so I’m feeling virtuous.
I haven’t done much tonight and am currently watching Love Actually. I do like a good romcom.
It hasn’t been an exciting day but I’ve had worse. And at least we didn’t have moqueca.
Your sister’s face masks sound more ‘professional’ than the ones I made yesterday. My daughter, on the other hand, has discovered a wonderful way to upcycle hair bobbles (they can be used as loops to hold the mask round the ears). Genius!
The ear loops sound good – I had some trouble with chafing from hard, tight elastic with some of the prototypes.
Mm, I can imagine!
Your ear loops are a definite advance in design terms.
I second Derrick’s request.
I’m working on it.
Do let us see all the Google references
Well, if you insist, I suppose I could… 🙂
“Love Actually” is a good movie. And you had fish & chips for tea, too! Sounds like a reasonable day.
Definitely! 🙂
Sounds like very fussy work.
Yes, a lot of repetitive work, but no heavy lifting involved so could be worse. 🙂
