the set up is still up and i'm out of ideas as to what to post. in the end i settled for an egg on forks.
well, but for the bokeh, it's boring.
today, i went to the office to check on the mails that we were told had been accumulating on our desks and offices. it was a surreal feeling. i retrieved my coat and umbrella as well as a pashmina shawl. i had a big bag of m&m's which i put in a plastic bag and put a note for my friend janet in the mailroom. i essentially brought home all personal stuff, well not all, some, including a pair of ankle boots, my french dictionary and my book of first aid. i disinfected everything i touched before i left. my cart was rather heavy so i wasn't able to take any photos. it will be very difficult when we all have to go back to the office in two months' time, although we can still opt to work from home.
I love you delicious bokeh. It have have felt rather weird going into your office. My daughter in London has not set foot in her office since end of March! It is forbidden, although the would love to go and collect some personal items. They might not get back to the office this year at all ;-)
Such lovely bokeh, even an egg on two forks looks great in front of it! “Foon and spork”, what a funny girl you are! Well I know I for one would want to go back to the office, just to be around people!
Glad to hear you stayed safe on your office trip. I can only imagine what it must feel like with no one there in those familiar surroundings.
There’s nothing wrong with this photo at all. It must take some skill to set up your “foon and spork” So the egg doesn’t fall off. Is it hard boiled or not? And you are right about the bokeh.
I can only imagine how weird the office trip must have been. My husband is not even allowed in the building. Just get his mail from the mail room (1 person) and one guard.
The egg on fork picture is something I still need to try one day as is the ring forming a heart in a book. But for now I just look how people do it and what I like about it. And I really like your background/bokeh!
@grammyn - not cooked. cooked or hardboiled eggs are heavy and will cause the forks down with the handles going up and the egg to topple over (and my forks are strong and sturdy), at least in my experience. so i only use raw egg and a lot of prayers. i have not broken an egg so far in all the times i tried to do this. thanks, girlfriend.
@ingrid01 - i didn't do the spoon and fork thingies until i was in my 7th year on 365! and i thought i've done the heart in a book but i don't see it in any of my albums. maybe i haven't. when i bought my first dslr my aim was to do panning, smoke and water crowns, for me they were easier. the background is a glitter fabric. that would be easy to find around there; the soukh in al-ruwi was where i would buy my fabrics and bedsheets a long time ago. thanks, kiddo.
@ludwigsdiana - we are allowed to go to the office but first we need to do an online course. then every time we want or need to go in, we have to fill up an online form and answer questions 24 hours before. that keeps track of people coming in. i went yesterday because it was a holiday and the public transit was not as busy and there was only one person in the office. when we do officially come back in october, we were told it would be voluntary and attendance would be staggered. going in yesterday, i think i prefer to work from home. i do need to go a second time to collect more personal stuff. i threw away a lot yesterday and there are still a lot in my drawer. thanks, diana.
@louannwarren - thanks, law. it was really weird being there and i couldn't wait to get the heck out. it was a holiday yesterday so there was only one lawyer in the whole floor so he was just inside his office. he's probably pissed because he'd have to wear a mask and close his office door. i'm not so keen seeing people and i usually don't talk much unless there's something really interesting to talk about. i stay away from people when in the office. i have a good rapport with my officemates but still. 😜
This is a great image and I love the use of the red bokeh. My work takes me into hospitals (nothing to do with medical care) and I am hoping we get to work from home for a very long time to come.
I'm a bit out of touch - is this your second lockdown - did you get back to the office a while ago and then have to go back to working from home. We are all, over the world, suffering the same thing in different waves and timings. It is quite confusing to know where everywhere is at. (Perhaps I should just watch the world news more closely!) Anyhow Vikki, I hope you are well.
