Photo Month 4-6

And so it continues....

Photo #4

What has this got to do with creativity, I hear you ask? This is what I look like (ie. tired) after a five-day writing stint. As I have said over and over to anybody who will listen, I wish my whole life was like that five-day writing stint.
Nobody has yet, on hearing me say that, offered to give me a living wage in return for bad (but interestingly bad) novels. The bastards.

Photo #5 = 5th of May = my birthday. And I went to my friend Clare's house, where a bunch of us go every Wednesday, expecting nothing unusual... and they'd only ruddy built a bookshop in my honour! (My name there is Bookshop.)
Everyone had brought along a few favourite books, and we auctioned them off to each other (for a 2-month loan spell) using the universal currency of sweets. It was pretty much the best thing ever. I now have three unexpected books lined up for reviews, over the next 2 months. And lots of sweets.

Creative, you know? Singing? Making the ol' music?

But more to the point, how good is that Macro setting? Remember, I am a useless camera-person. I did none of the work here, it was all the camera.

Until next time, folks. Photos 7-9 should arrive on Sunday.

  1. That is one righteous 'stache. I also enjoy the blury bits in the background of the mic photo.

  2. HAHAHA

    I am still laughing at the tasch. Love the macro setting. How do sweets work currency wise. Smarties I assume are pennies.

  3. The book auction is a great idea! Happy birthday!

  4. Hello! Found you via the book blog hopper - what a happy find! That book auction sounds like awesome fun, and I would be ridiculously keen to do one too if it weren't for the fact that I'm so anal about the condition of my books.

    And happy birthday!
