the last word OR the last shot... by quietpurplehaze

the last word OR the last shot...

...in Suffolk. I realised that I had been taking all the pics during our stay and had nothing to show that I had been there as well. Soon remedied as I found a strategically-placed mirror in our friends' living room.

It always makes me smile to take a selfie like this as I never heard of this term or thought of taking one before 365 (can't do the set-up-camera-and-sit-in-front-of-it one).

Busy day today: washing in the machine, Jinks to take for a walk, pile of ironing, visit to friends to collect apples from their tree, a swim, dinner to cook (including blackberry and apple crumble) and finally a music concert this evening at the university.

There are no prizes for identifying which item on my list will probably still be
to-do tomorrow.
Well welcome to the world of selfies! So lovely to see you😊😊

Nice one, Hazel. Good to see you still smiling after the holiday's over!
September 24th, 2013  
I always say going out wrinkled harms no one! :) You are so lovely! Great to see you having a good day.
September 24th, 2013  
Great selfie Hazel - I must admit I'd not heard to selfies before 365 either!
September 24th, 2013  
Great selfie. That's the story of photographers... LOL.

@rosiekind

Daryl, you are so kind (Sometimes I'm horrible!!!) What does 'going out wrinkled' mean, please?!
September 24th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze
Perhaps @darylo is referring to the ironing not being the priority of your day. Great selfie

@purplehaze12

Oh yes, of course, Hazel, thanks (does taking selfies addle one's brain I wonder..) But we wouldn't ever go out wrinkled as Ray likes doing ironing - but I do get guilt feelings about him doing it.! (Small ones).

@quietpurplehaze @purplehaze12 I never iron! I gave it up three years ago as a new year's resolution and it's the only one I've ever kept. Hehe.
September 24th, 2013  
lovely shot
September 24th, 2013  
Super smiley selfie !! and a nice pose behind those beautiful dahlias !! Good luck Hazel in your busy day !! Hope you will not be too exhausted to enjoy your concert tonight --I know I would be !! ( very little energy & could sleep at any time at a drop of a hat !! )
September 24th, 2013  
Beautiful ! I had never heard of selfies either. So I'm getting more used to them. Like you, I like to prove I was there. I like to iron if I have a headache. It calms me.
September 24th, 2013  
hello Hazel, happy to meet you
September 24th, 2013  
Might it be the ironing Hazel!!!!! Silly question!! love this happy photo of you on holiday, beautifully composed & the pretty flowers an extra bonus although you didn't need any props!!
September 24th, 2013  
Never iron today what you can leave till tomorrow - Confucious ;0)
Lovely selfie with floral frame. Had me worried by the title for a minute!
September 24th, 2013  
Lovely shot
My guess is the ironing
September 24th, 2013  
Hi, Hazel! How nice to see your smiling face this morning. Terrific shot!
September 24th, 2013  
Nice selfie, Hazel. I hadn't heard the term before 365 either.
September 24th, 2013  
It's a super shot Hazel, you are so good at your selfies! Lovely composition with the dahlias and mirror. I would leave the ironing too!
September 24th, 2013  
Great to get all your comments. I'm ashamed to say that while I'm having a quick catch-up (6 p.m.) on 365 (dinner is in the oven) because we'll be home late from the concert, Ray is doing the ironing. ( He says it's satisfying and part of his tidy mind.)

@judithg

I'm not leaving! I came across a phrase recently: "I am responsible for what I say, not what you understand" - I don't entirely agree with it and Ray does sometimes tell me that I 'go off on one' and assume that other people know what I'm referring to (butterfly brain or some such!) Just the last holiday-in-Suffolk shot/word. Sorry!
September 24th, 2013  
Lovely reflection, Hazel. You sound busy!
September 24th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze Not just me then- Nigel has told me three times today that I've started halfway through conversations that I've been having in my head. Actually I do do that occasionally but I think he's just got too much work on and isn't paying attention properly!
September 24th, 2013  
Splendid shot- hope you have a nice evening.
September 24th, 2013  
A lovely selfie Hazel - well done x
September 24th, 2013

September 24th, 2013  
A lovely selfie! I also had never thought of doing selfies - I hate being in photos - but a few have snuck into my project! :)
September 24th, 2013  
Lovely selfie Hazel.

@gerry

Gerry thanks and for the fav. We are all fine. Hope you and Anne and her mum will have a great time in Scotland.

@pyrrhula

It's one of them! Panasonic Lumix TZ25, the other is a bridge camera, Panasonic Lumix FZ62. I'm starting a photographic course today. Yes, my day was very easy compatred to yours. What were the meetings etc? To do with your voluntary teaching? You are very busy in retirement.
September 25th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze I`ve still not decide. That sounds great Yes , and yes.
September 25th, 2013  
Very nice picture Hazel.
September 25th, 2013  
Great selfie!
September 26th, 2013  
This is all too funny! I'm very late to this conversation, and behind on my own posts, because we've been away as well. But I love your selfie, and I would vote for leaving the ironing. Three cheers for Ray!
September 26th, 2013  
@barbcapecod

Yes, he does deserve three cheers as he does lots of domestic things to help out. We did the ironing between us in the end but I think I did most so I wasn't feeling too guilty!
