It's Saturday here - that means that I'm not working. I hadn't noticed that fact though as I have had two work call-outs this morning and am far from being in a state of relaxation. Added to this is the fact that in approximately 2 hours we have a gaggle of 14 year old girls descending on the house, all of whom are staying over for the night, I am yet to walk the dogs, do the housework, have lunch (or breakfast) and have not even managed to get close to the shower. So, like this chimney I look like a derelict wreck but I am at least still upright. Erect if you will, but slightly crumbly and worn around the edges.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
So situation normal you are telling us as in your description? Fabulous photo and I really love your editing her. Between you Sam and Northy I am finding that I want to try some b&w myself and may have to give it a go.
Graeme, you are always surprising me! 14 year olds for a slumber party? Nice smoke stack, creepy a bit as I always think of concentration camps when I see these.
Awesome shot. I am contemplating sneaking into a building like this to get some shots.
Good luck with the gaggle too. I was lucky enough to survive my kids sleepover.
@karlow75 Thanks very much - I find if you carry clip board everyone thinks you should be there @vignouse I have to complain...I'm a bit of a Victor Meldrew ;)
I think if you post a photo of yourself - "derelict wreck but I am at least still upright. Erect if you will, but slightly crumbly and worn around the edges"...........that would be MOST rewarding for us all to see :)
We are yet to be sleepover stage but I may need to borrow that gas mask when we do to cope with all the excess Lynx there would be being sprayed about.....
And I am guessing after the gaggle departs the next photo will be of a building crumbled to the ground in ruins? You are a brave brave man to have a gaggle of 14 year old girls overnight - I do hope you still have plenty of wine - nice shot.
The chimney's are the last to fall down - hopefully not on Victor Meldrew! It would make his day, though! I can't imagine all those 14yrs olds being quiet - they will all have their phones though!
@rosiekerr Thanks you - it's not the first either. Why do we keep letting it happen! @aikiuser Thanks...we escaped the house for a while @dide Thanks - so far it's been just spiffing ;) @gigiflower That's never going to happen...public forum and all that ;) @newbank it is quite fitting ;) I'll still be using the mask for all the perfume! @ceilidh Absolutely - I seem to spend a lot of time out there @hermann Thanks very much :) @annied Good...it's all I've got @northy Thanks - no occasion, it's just because they can and we're the "cool but slightly peculiar" parents @deak68 Very brave indeed, plenty of wine...always ;) @tonygig Thank you kindly @nicoleterheide Thanks very much :) @andy3168 Thank you kind sir @maggiemae They all came fully equipped with phones and iPads...they're all plugged in to the matrix
@graemestevens oh i dunno... with a gaggle of teenage girls under your roof, i think you should be on the look out for young ne-er-do-wells who may come knocking on the door... the shotgun may be required after all!
@brigette I detest it, but it's my turn this weekend :(
Good luck with the gaggle too. I was lucky enough to survive my kids sleepover.
