We went to London to get part of Tabitha's birthday present. I failed to get a picture I'm happy with.

Bite the sea
Can we take a little moment to appreciate this light? Looks like I have a full studio setup on location.
Sprung
This is so lazy but I feel like I've done pretty well this week.
Observe and Analyse
I have been in a grumpy mood all day today. I hate days like that.
Break
On a black and white kick at the moment. I like the black and white images out of this camera.
Marooned
I spotted a nice picture but then ended up preferring the photo I took of where I was standing to take that picture!
Architects
We went to Architects' album launch show. It was fun.
Light and reflection
Tabitha had an open day at school so Charlotte and I went to the city to grab some breakfast.
February
For the shortest month, it feels like loads happened! F1 dads went to the World's Raceway - this was actually right at the end of January but missed inclusion in January's newsletter because I was very tired.
I went to Germany to visit Sven and his family, and go to see Sile...
28. Shadows
The sea looked like glass this morning so I brought the drone to take a picture and hated how it came out.
27. Chirp
Do Starlings chirp? They make all sorts of noises but I don't even know if chirping is one of them.
26. A View
Sometimes it's nice having a dog. Go out for a little walk before work. Maybe get your daily photo before 9am.
25. Clear skies
Another late one, but a beautiful starry sky this evening, and an accidental framing error.
24. Things that spin
Aegir posted about his foreverspin and I basically stole the idea because I haven't stopped since 7am.
23. Froth
Mock assessment day for level 2 went better than I was expecting. Not sure why I always expect disaster.
22. School
Penultimate day of my level 2 course, if you don't count the assessment. Which I don't. I probably should but that's a problem for Future Jasper.
21. Flock off
The one time I don't bring a proper camera with me, the cormorants are doing a migrate and I can only capture it on my phone.
20. Walk in the rain
Of course it rained today. Took the dog with us to the supermarket and I walked him around whilst Charlotte and Tabitha were shopping. The light was super nice and diffuse and the sea looked a weird green colour.
19. Outstanding in a field
Decided to take Thursday and Friday off because Tabitha's on half term. Feeling pretty guilty about it since I just had a week off but I'll make it up and no-one's waiting on me for anything.
18. Garage
My back hurts. Haven't played that intensely since the summer and my physical fitness is lacking. I barely have time to take one single photo outside my normal routine right now so not sure when exactly I'm supposed to hit the gym!
17. Homework
Back to Homestead for the evening because Tabitha's on half term. I miss going there every week - the standard is so high and I really struggle (and I am so achy!) but I can see myself improving and I love it.
16. Sleepy house
Exhaustion finally caught up to me today. Crashed pretty hard in the afternoon. Felt horrible, unmotivated, moody. Ate my feelings. Hate that.
15. More badminton, and we're not even close to over
Day 2 (day 1 for me) of my BE level 2 course. Such a long day and I am terrible at group work like this. I was bad at it in school and I'm bad at it now
The difficult sequel
It was always going to be challenging, following a week of relaxing and taking pictures with a week of work.
Leipzig 2025
Spent the week in the German countryside, eating too many pretzels (is there such a thing?), drinking too much Spezi, and having a very relaxing time.
Week One
World's Raceway
Last night the F1 Fwiends went on a field trip to the World's End in Brighton to play their raceway.
January
What a January! If you're wondering why it's dragged it's my fault - I'm going to Germany to see Sven next week, and the last couple of weeks have been particularly torturous!
I feel like the light has been absolutely awful this month. I can't remember another month where I'...
Photos
The light has been awful this month and I haven't taken many photos, but "not many" isn't "none".

I've stopped wearing my Apple Watch. Kurzgesagt did this great video on exercise that annoyingly confirmed some things I already knew but would prefer to not be true. The main one being that exercise alone isn't enough for maintaining/losing weight. Diet is way more effectiv...
