Nov 01: 'Red' by bulldog

Nov 01: 'Red'

After a full day of writing management reports (and my CV), my mind was left like jelly.
Red... for Diabetes awareness month...

Now my old man is diabetic, but he is on holiday in Grand Canaria... We used to have a dog call 'Tip' who was diabetic (maybe that's where dad got it from). How a remember the hours chasing her around the garden trying to get her to pee on a saucer... Unfortunately, she passed away many, many years ago, so that's no help...

I drove home, trying to 'Dance in the rain', I even popped in the Tescos to see what red beer they had...

I opened the sock draw with a long face, but my bits were all asleep.. "Who is going to come to my rescue now?"

Da dada da daaaa... Wallis & Gromit to the rescue!!

Tell you what Bulldog anyone reading your CV will snap you up, how could they not?? Love the model, looks well polished for the photoshoot. Glad to read you are still trying to dance in that rain. That's the spirit!!

Love W&G - this is red enough for today. So you don't have any red shoes like I am wearing today!!

Ooh, Wallis and Grommit, more bits, hooray! (I hope they don't mind being included with your 'bits'). You know, Grommit reminds me of someone ... now who the . .? Aha! Yesssss! It's Pig!!! If only you could list all the positive things all your friends say about you Bulldog, the Powers-that-Be would have no need of your reports or CV. Hang on in there.

@anazad511 - I am so sorry to here that...

@streetlyend - That phrase is keeping me going Lucy.

@lyno - Who need them.. the lazy little fellers...

@joluise - If you tap them together, do your get home quicker?

@tishpics - I am hanging in, I spent all last night writing a 6 page CV, took that to work and asked for some advice who suggested I took it down to two pages. I got it down to three but ended up getting in a right muddle so asked a good friend at work to have a look (yes you Annette) and she has just sent it back to me, looking brilliant!
Thank you to everyone on here and to you Annette (I know you will read this).

@maggiemae - Thanks Maggiemae.

Love it, Bulldog. I haven't seen Wallis and Gromit in a very long time. This is so cute.

Oh, I love this. So very creative. As much as I love learning about composition, lighting, etc., from this project, I REALLY enjoy seeing so much creativity.
November 1st, 2012  
Great work, I do like these guys!
November 1st, 2012  
A 2page CV is good advice Bulldog. Great red shot, national heroes. Good luck.

Very cool, I would love to have some of these kits to put together!

Thank you everyone, it's nice to see so many fellow W&G lovers on here...

Oh, and you mentioned the Red Pop, so I thought I would give it a go Phil: http://365project.org/gphelps5/365-additions/2012-11-02

Love your creativity bulldog, we all need a bit of escapism from life's nitty gritty.... 2 page CV sounds like the way forward, good to have an 'Annette' in your armoury......
November 2nd, 2012  
Love Wallace and Grommit.....and this is a great shot...bet it was a fun kit to do.
November 2nd, 2012  
Good old Wallace and Gromit. Fun shot.
Lester had type 2 Diabetes. Health Centre monitoring of his condition is very good.

Love wallace & Gromit. My favourites are "A Grand Day Out" and "The Wrong Trousers". ;-p This figurine is from "A Close Shave", I'd guess. I'm envious, Bulldog!
November 22nd, 2012  
Ha ha ha, they are Airfix models, this could be the new Kinder Egg?
