Allotments

Today Sarah and I went on a Flickr walk around the Heeley and District allotments its a maze of allotments covering a massive area. Unfoutunatly many are run down and apprarently uncared for. lots of interesting things to take photos of though.
Thanks to Drunken Monkey AKA Sam for this picture.

This picture of me and Brenda a.k.a Brendada was taken at a Sheffield Flickr meet. Brenda is a lovely and very interesting person. I don't usually like any photos of me but I like this one and it captured a moment nicely!

Flat pack furniture

Thanks to ypell on flickr for the photo.
New desks arrived for me and Jill at work this week, the only problem being that they were flat packed. So Jill and I decided put them together, we couldn't be doing for waiting for someone to do it for us. Needless to say there was a bit missing but I wasn't giving up! eventually the bit was located and Jill and I now have nice new desks.

Jargon

Thanks to TT for this picture.
Did anyone hear the news article today about business jargon? I have lost count of the number of meetings I have sat in listening to things like blue sky thinking , thinking outside the box, things being in different silos.

Weston Park Museum Friday 3rd November



Today Ben and I visited Weston Park Museum in Sheffield it has recently been refurbished. Ben had an inset day so I had taken a day off work, we wanted to look at what they had done to the museum. The refurbishment is quite impressive but I must admit to being a little underwhelmed!
The most interesting thing that happened was being approached by one of the staff who told me that I couldn't take photos with my sort of camera (a Digital SLR). I asked what sort of camera was OK and she looked a little flustered and said that camera phones etc were OK. I asked her to explain why this rule was so, she told me it was because of copyright. I asked that if it was because of copyright why was a camera phone OK? She didn't have an answer for this! I suggested she fetch some one more senior to explain things to me she walked off, no one else materialised. Just to add to the contrariness of this I heard another staff member suggesting subjects for photography to another visitor.
