No pot of gold at the end; you just drown.

And back
Back to work! Absolutely shattered.
Late
So late. I haven't had time to think about photos at all today.
Coaching in my new shoes
First of two two-hour sessions over two days. So nervous but damn, those are some nice shoes.
Central Sports
Central Sports knew I was coming. They got their best sales-person on me and he didn't miss 🥵
Look Up
Had a lie-in but spent it all playing Rogue Prince of Persia.
John's Garden
Went to John's Garden at Ashwood Nursery. Always forget what a celebrity my mum is.
Swans
Don't think I've ever seen this many swans together at the same time. Helpfully someone was feeding them so I could get a nice photo of them together.
Fluffies
Lazy photos of Friday and Forest after another long day of badminton. No idea how people do this every day.
mood
Loads of driving today. Few snaps from trying out mood.camera this morning before leaving.
Shuttle
This photo was Tabitha's idea, and I like it a lot. More coaching today, and she played for 7 hours. That's probably enough.
App
Remember when I said it wouldn't happen?
ArchBook
This was a pig, even with the excellent documentation from T2 Linux.
Egrets Way with J
This is a much nicer way to get to Lewes, if you've got the bike for it. Would have been miserable riding this on a road bike!
Calm seas
Another one where I felt like I didn't really stop all day. Sea looked super calm, and there was so many people around. Really wanted to take more pictures but had the dog so couldn't.
Filler
We've got some super nice rooftops/chimneys around here. Which is fortunate because I got nothing else today.
Tea
I found some loose-leaf tea. It tastes like murray mints, and it smells amazing.

Carry jump-leads in your car, learn to jump-start it. Learn how to recognise the polarity of your battery. Don't be scared to grab a smoking jump-lead terminal when you realise your mistake. Maybe carry a fire extinguisher too?
Don't feel like you've failed as a person because others were more prepared than you, and they were there to help you out.
Don't resent any and all good luck that comes your way, like you have to earn luck, and if you didn't then you don't deserve it and you shouldn't have got it.
If that's how luck actually worked, this world might be worth living in.
MacBook Pro-crastinator
I've got so much to do, and I don't want to do any of it. If you leave things until the last minute, they only take a minute, right?
Monday
A very Mondayish Monday. It's so hot in my office.
IKEA
Charlotte loves IKEA, and the Brighton one is finally opening. Will be nice to not have to go to Croydon or Southampton.
Martin Parr
I love Martin Parr. He's the only photographer I can think of that I would happily plagiarise all day every day.
Jordi Alkema at Folklore Rooms
Jordi is a friend from badminton and he plays the guitar and sings.
Clouds
And you thought I forgot!
A beautiful field
I woke up early this morning and, as I sat aimlessly scrolling on my phone, I thought I should go and take the dog on a long walk instead.
New Bike Day!
I have wanted a Mason ever since we started working with them. I am a very happy boy right now.
The opposite
Almost no opportunities to take photos today. I used up all my credits yesterday. How is it only Wednesday?!
A mixed bag
Way above average number of photo opportunities today. One I really wish I'd had the confidence to do better than I did.
Headache
My least favourite after a super intense headache, is feeling woozy the next day. Doesn't feel fair.
Pizza
I wasn't going to do a pizza photo but got the most brutal headache and I'm not going looking for another photo.
