The jumper & the super hero

June Photo A Day - Day 29:  Soft

The photo prompt for day 29 of the challenge was soft.  My thoughts automatically went to a beautiful Alpaca wool jumper that my dad brought me back from a trip to South America a few years ago.  It is so light and soft but very warm and is not prickly like sheeps wool.  The sad thing is it's a bit of a snug fit this winter - hmmmm.  Anyhoo, here's the pic...

June Photo A Day - Day 30:  A Friend

The final prompt for this month's challenge is a friend.  This is an easy one - he's been my best friend for almost 23 years.  Anyhoo, here's a re-edit of a previous pic of my boy wonder, the lovely Wayne.

The Mad Hatter

The title of this post was discussed and I don't know how, but I lost out which is weird considering it is my blog and I'm the one typing!  Anyhoo, I wanted to call the post Debonair because I think my photo for today (of moi) looks quite debonair.  The lovely Wayne however thinks mad hatter is more apt!  Hmmm, he'll keep.

June Photo A Day - Day 6:  Hat

The prompt for today is hat.  Now those that know me know that I do indeed have a penchant for a nice hat (and scarves and shoes!) and it's not because I'm a follically challenged man either, so don't even go there girlfriend (insert finger waving icon here!).  Anyhoo, it's all about accessorising daaahling - LOL.  Ok enough silliness, here's the photo - me looking oh-so-debonair in one of my hats (and notice the scarf too!).

A Building, Boots, & a Cabinet

Well yet again I've had a couple of crazy days this week so haven't posted my photos for a few days for the February Photo A Day Challenge.  Now that the week is over it's time to catch up.  Oh yes, I've also themed them all black and white - I honestly hadn't planned that, the photos all just happened to look better in black and white.  A total coincidence!

#FebPhotoADay - Day 22: Where You Work

Wednesday's theme was where you work.  Now I could have concocted a delightful story about how I'm a secret agent (think 007) and that if I showed where I worked, I would indeed have to kill you, but alas, I have a far less exotic office job.  So here you have it, the office block where I work.

#FebPhotoADay - Day 23: Your Shoes

Yesterday's theme was your shoes.  Oh what to do.  Those that know me know that I have a penchant for a nice shoe (well pairs actually!) so this was difficult.  In the end I settled on one of my fave pairs of boots that I purchased at a rather nice shoe boutique in Melbourne, and that I wear to death.  They are made of black denim with leather trimming and are very comfortable too.  I'm often complemented on them also, so my taste can't be too awful can it?!  Anyhoo, here's my shoes...

#FebPhotoADay - Day 24: Inside Your Bathroom Cabinet

The theme for today was inside your bathroom cabinet.  Now this was interesting as I wasn't sure how to approach this.  I figured I had 3 options.  Option 1 was to have all manner of dreadful things on view (keep yourself nice), option 2 was to have all the nicest toiletries in the house strategically placed on show, and option 3 was to just open the darn doors and snap a pic au naturale.  On a Friday afternoon after a long week at work, option 3 won hands down - no effort required...LOL.

Pool, Drinks, and the Closet!

Home again.  The lovely Wayne and I went for a leisurely walk late this afternoon and on the way back our local pub was calling to us - seriously it was!!  LOL.  As we approached (it's on the way home), we decided that we would pop in for a cool drink before continuing home.  Heaven forbid that we dehydrate!  So we called in and ordered a light meal and a bottle of chilled Sem Sauv Blanc.  We sat opposite the water enjoying the view of the sun setting across the water whilst sipping on wine...life's good.  Once we were done, the lovely Wayne suggested a game of pool.  The pool tables were deserted so we did.  Sadly, he absolutely annihilated me...insert embarrassed smiley here!  Anyhoo, enough about our afternoon.

#FebPhotoADay - Day 12: Inside Your Closet

Today's theme for the February Photo A Day Challenge was Inside Your Closet.  I had planned to take a fun photo of a skeleton hanging in the walk-in-robe as we had one last year for halloween.  It appears though that I may have thrown it out.  A change of plans was called for so I took a photo of a section of the robe with some of my shirts.  It wasn't until I looked at the actual photo that I realised the breadth of colours hanging there - it looked a bit busy in the photo so I thought it best to edit it to black & white.  Here's the result...

 

 

All the better to see you with my dear

I felt it was time to update my 'look' a little by lashing out on a couple of new pairs of specs....not that I'm a slave to fashion or anything like that!  I thought I'd have one set as prescription sunnies this time around and I quite like them.  I went for a bit of a retro look....something classic, timeless even.  For the non-sunnies, I had 3 requirements - black, sleek & with wide arms.  I think I did well.  Anyhoo enough of my ramblings, I'll let the pics do the talking....

 

As an aside, I was quite surprised that for the third time running, my sight has actually improved.  Fingers crossed that they improve to the point of not requiring correction!
