Idle fingers apply for jobs

Resumo: Hodiaŭ mi aplikis por laboro en mia urbo, kaj mi promenis en la kampojn, farinta fotojn.

So i didn’t really know what to do with myself today after my London plans were scuppered by South West Trains. For one reason or another i followed a few links and discovered a Ruby on Rails job in Winchester! I’m not even looking for a job, but somehow i ended up applying for it! I just thought, “Well, why not! Give it a try, hey!”

This afternoon i went for a lovely walk through the fields of oil seed rape, taking lots of pictures. I think i felt my Flickr account was somewhat tainted by the nemews and i wanted to counterbalance it with some real beauty. I took some shots which i am quite proud of, particularly this one:

I can’t say what it is i like about it. I’m not a photographer so i don’t know. I suppose i like the angles, and the perspective, and the colour. Pffft what am i talking about?! I’m no pro. Although …

My Flickr has gone over 200 pictures and i have now lost the oldest ones. I am wondering whether to upgrade to ‘pro’. I do like having them all recorded online. Is it beneficial to upgrade? I was going to say £24.95 is a lot, but now i notice that’s dollars, so only £12.75 which is not so bad for a year. Hmm. I’ll think about it.

Just cos i love to whore my photos out on here, have a few more …

Nemews and ducks

Resumo: Mi volis iri en Londonon hodiaŭ, sed estas fervojoverkaro do mi ne scias nun kion fari kun la tago. Mi fotografis pli da grafitio.

My gosh, my ‘resumo’ in Esperanto is so boring, i don’t know if it’s even worth writing this post! I was going to visit K in London today, was really looking forward to it. I was just about to shut down the computer and make my way to the train station when i thought it would be a good idea to look up the times. That’s when i discovered that there was engineering work again and basically i would probably spent about 6 hours travelling today if i went. So i’m going to go on Thursday instead.

I got up early this morning and took some more nemew photographs. Some have already been cleaned off but you can still kinda see where they were. Let me repeat: i want to see these cleaned off. I want Winchester restored to the beautiful city that i know and love. But there is something curious about the nemews which i think needs to be recorded for historical purposes.

I also saw some ducklings scavenging for food. It’s not uncommon to see ducks wandering the streets of Winchester. Normally it’s one of those moments when you think, “Ahhh, i wish i had a camera with me!” – and today i did! :)

Uhh, what else? Nothing. I’m really disappointed at not going to London. I don’t know what to do with my day! Blah!
