For the Get Pushed challenge 85 http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21396/get-pushed-85-monday-march-3rd-to-sunday-march-9th set by @webfoot - after I said no to food photography* -
"for your get pushed challenge. Create and image that depicts the Theme Time in some way."

This is the watch I wear and the mobile I use to keep track of time during the day. The watch because it was all I could find that doesn't put stainless steel or nickel next to my skin as I'm nickel allergic, and I am trying to teach the students I work with that it's inappropriate to use their mobiles continuously, so using my mobile as a watch isn't an option. And as we're in libraries and odd places there isn't always a clock available.

Thank you for looking - you're all superstars.

* I've done food too - on Flickr as a Get Pushed, last year - think it was the reason I stopped doing Get Pushed on Flickr. It's not something I can easily fit into my life or set up to work, and I'm not going to do revolting snaps of "what I ate tonight". Really - I'm out to work all day and either take in a box of leftovers or cheese, oatcakes and salad or grab a sandwich in passing, Plates or elegant food setting are not in my lifestyle, and I'm now out 4 nights of what is left of this week so supper is going to be on the hoof too. Porridge for breakfast is not a good photo-opportunity.

Love your watch! I must say I am rather guilty of using my mobile as a watch. My work makes wearing a watch difficult

Nice watch you got there. I think it depicts time theme too well. Great job!

Nice idea

Perfect for the time theme.

That fits your challange very well like the way you have set it and how in your pictures you seem to be able bring some life to them and tell a story.

I like this in b/w and great comp. I'm nickel allergic as well. It makes my arm ache when I'm exposed to it by a watch.

Cool shot & I love your watch :)

@moxy I don't ache particularly - I get an itchy red blotch wherever nickel touches, which swells up, blisters and gets infected if I don't remove it fast.

Very nice.

"Porridge for breakfast is not a good photo-opportunity." That's my favourite soundbite of the week!
