We went to The Swan Inn today for Sunday lunch and to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday.
Afterward we came back for birthday cake, which Nik made, but everyone was full from lunch so Nik's parents took the cake with them.
It would take too long to explain where the title comes from, suffice it to say that it is a recurring joke in our family.
This is another shot courtesy of Jey, which is quite dissimilar from the others he took in as much as it looks almost staged.
You can appreciate by this point we were all pretty smashed and dancing our backsides off which I think the shot illustrates perfectly.
On our way to Kent to visit friends the previous weekend we hurtled into this.
Within half and hour we came out to find green fields and not a hint of snow anywhere along the M1. Incredible weather!
I was hoping to put up another photo tonight but one of my programs is causing me some major grief.
So it's an older shot today with some enhanced post processing.
I don't think any words I say can better explain this photo.
This is another of Jey's shots from our wedding (thanks pal). I was tempted to process a few in the order they were taken but I decided I will just make the odd one or two as I find them.
Nik and I have been visiting our good friends Rachel and Jey in Kent this weekend.
Jey had lots of shots from our wedding that we hadn't even seen and he was kind enough to let me have copies so I could enhance a few to post on imagi.
Here is a shot from the evening of our other good friends Matt and Eli (thanks for the photo Jey).
Another Hipstamatic shot today, this time of the guy who recommended the app — Mr Bursill.
I had a really weird time working with these images. For some reason when I email from my iPhone to my computer the images (as attachments) come through at 800px, which is the size for square images on my website. However they looked upscaled and, sure enough, when I checked what size the images were they seem to have imported to the computer at 525px. This meant the emailed versions had been enlarged. Even stranger, when they are uploaded directly to Facebook from the iPhone they come in at 600px.
Confused…
Nik and I decided today (Valentine's Day) would be a good day for a half marathon!
Then, just after that, we decided to run a little bit further. Nutters you say? Yep!
I took this shot on the iPhone just after we had scaled a hill after Newtown Linford.
This shot was taken in my lounge with my new iPhone app — Hipstamatic.
My friend Ian, from work, suggested I give it a go. He has it already and is going to post shots he has taken each day on Facebook for me to have a look at.
I must admit it's quite good fun.
Today's shot is an old one and my entry for this weeks Photo Friday challenge.
I wanted to post some snapshots I took at a photoshoot we had for work but I left the files in the studio and can't get them as I'm on holiday at the moment.
Here's another shot from the old collection.
I'm off for a spot of poker play tonight.
I haven't been very well this week hence a lack of entries on the site.
Today's shot was taken at the same time as this. Hopefully when I feel a bit more human I will get some more shots up.
I haven't been feeling too great recently.
I think I'm just joining in with everyone else. I thought a 10K run might not be the best idea tonight, on one of the coldest days of the year (so far).
This means I have more time to post a photo; where the snow taketh, it also giveth. Here is a shot of my colleague Ian from this morning in the car park at work.
My wife chose one shot from each month that she liked for today's image.
Here is wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This year has been really great. Along with the usual gusto of food and drink we have had my family over and all has gone smoothly.
Not long now until Christmas.
I hope to spend a little time over the holiday period getting out to take some more shots. In the meantime here is another RAW I came across in the archive which I fancied posting.
Today's shot is from a burnt-out car wreck in a field near to where I live.
I just fancied posting something a little more abstract.
Another golden (well, black and white) oldie tonight.
Work is keeping me very busy at the moment and the last thing I feel like doing is more work on the computer so it's another quick entry tonight, just to keep the blog ticking over.
Today's shot is an really old one and my entry for the Photo Friday website this week.
Time allowing I may actually get out with the camera this weekend.
Another quick shot tonight.
The shot is from years ago, brought up-to-date with a bit of new post processing.
I did promise a while ago to process this shot (from the brother-in-laws' photos) for my mother-in-law Marg.
So here it is… enjoy! Not long till he's back now.
I was planning on taking some photos today but the fence is threatening to relocate so I have been out fixing that.
I was flicking through some old shots from Tenerife, wishing for warmer times, when I saw this shot of whales near Los Gigantes which will do for the Photo Friday entry.
