Little disappointed it wasn't a more unique Dimensions pack, but I don't have that Bad Cop fig and the 3-in-1 build is very nice so I'm still happy :D
The Batman 'food container' is cheap as hell and very pointless, but it'll look sweet on my bookshelf!
Tetris Magnets are a must for the fridge! So very happy!
Power Rangers T-Shirt is excellent quality as always. Never been a huge fan of the franchise, but it's still very cool and I'm hyped for the new movie :D
The pin is great too, hoping to get a "nerd jacket" to put all the epic pins on.
I'll definitely do more of these for my future crates and might even back-track and do my previous 3 :)

Thank you and warm regards, Jane
Usually Fynn is a happy cat but NOBODY can look as disappointed as Fynn if he doesn't get what he wants. He is a master when it comes to making me feel guilty although I know that I haven't done anything wrong. This was the reaction to "Fynn, I really think you have had enough treats for now".
We knew we were heading into the teeth of a storm, and were not disappointed. The remnants of Hurricane Katia had decided to dump all its remaining moisture on the West Highlands, and on a pair of Back 5s and some soggy gricers for good measure. Also, for the charter, The Railway Touring Company's 'West Highlander' 1Z22 0655 Glasgow Queen Street - Oban, there were traction problems, as No. 44932 that had headed the tour north to Glasgow Central on the previous day (see 'Storm Brewing') had failed, and No. 45407 brought down from Fort William to head the tour as far as Crianlarich on 11th September 2011. Additionally, No. 44871 had also been commandeered from Fort William, and was waiting at Crianlarich for the charter. The two Black 5s were marshalled tender to tender. I do not know whether this was because that was the way they happened to be facing, or that in was deemed prudent to have a locomotive facing chimney first in each direction as the Oban Road can be a bit difficult on occasion. It was raining at Crianlarich when the shunt was taking place, and by the time we had found a favoured spot, conveniently on an exposed ridge above the line after Tyndrum Lower, the remains of Katia upped its game. When the train finally appeared both locomotives were being worked hard, the rain was coming at us sideways, and the exhaust was being whipped away over the forest. Oh! Happy Day!

I think this young man was hoping to board the yellow water taxi. Quick shot as we pulled away without him.
Have never been to this place in autumn before and was not at all disappointed. A place truly beautiful in every season with a unique charm in autumn. It exceeded my expectations in terms of colour and natural depth.
One of my favourite reserves in the whole North of England due to it's open plan nature. There are many lakes, ponds, reedbeds and meadows. There are lots of nature trails and as you walk around you can see the wildlife and observe it from the paths.
www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/s/staidans/
St Aidan's is a perfect place to get close to nature and relax, unwind or exercise in a stress-free environment. Just outside Leeds on the banks of the River Aire, it's a big new space to walk, run, cycle, or ride your horse and enjoy the wildlife that surrounds you.
It has a wide range of wild plants and animals, and is home to thousands of birds, brown hares, roe deer, wild flowers and insects - all living in a stunning landscape of vast reedbeds, grassland, woodland, lakes, ponds and islands.
With a variety of circular paths of varying lengths and large areas of open grassland, St Aidan’s is a great place for families to enjoy the outdoors, share a picnic and play together.
Over 7.5 miles (12 km) of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes connect the surrounding communities, with links to national footpath and cycle networks. St Aidan's is a fantastic place for locals wishing to explore the wider countryside or as a destination for people who love nature.
Opening times
St Aidan's is an open access site. Opening times apply to the visitor centre and car park. From March-October they're open from 9.30 am to 5 pm. From September-February it's 9.30 am to 4 pm. They're closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Entrance charges
Entry to the site is free but donations to help us continue our work are welcome. There is a car park charge of £2.50 per car for RSPB non-members. RSPB members and disabled badge holders park for free.
Information for dog owners
Dogs are allowed on the reserve as long as they are kept on a lead in the appropriate designated zones. There are some less sensitive areas within St Aidan's where dogs are allowed off the lead. Please check with staff before letting dogs off the lead.
Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Bittern
Bitterns are brown, secretive herons, camouflaged to hide amongst reeds. Visit in spring to hear male bitterns 'booming' or summer to watch the parents making feeding flights.
Great crested grebe
Watch the amazing courtship ritual of great crested grebes on the open water in spring. You may see pairs performing their 'weed dance' when they present one another with weed and patter across the surface of the water together.
Little owl
You may be lucky enough to find one of these compact owls perched in a tree or on a fencepost. They become very active at dusk and you may hear their shrill calls.
Marsh harrier
Look for marsh harriers gliding over the reedbed with their wings held upwards in a shallow 'v'. In spring, pairs perform their breathtaking 'skydancing' displays high in the sky.
Skylark
Spring visits will be enriched by the beautiful song of skylarks. They rise up into the air from the grassland until they are barely visible and only their song can be heard
www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/s/staidans/seasonal_highli...
Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Look out for marsh harriers displaying over the reedbeds, great crested grebes performing their elaborate courtship dances and returning swallows skimming low over the water and grasslands as they collect insects. Listen out for skylarks filling the air with their song, the deep booming of male bitterns, male snipe 'drumming' as they vibrate their tail feathers to attract females and lapwings calling as they perform their aerobatic displays. Enjoy the fusion of colour as wildflowers burst into bloom and a host of brightly-coloured butterflies and dragonflies take to the wing. Spring is also a great time to see kestrels. You can often see several hovering around the site at the same time as they hunt for voles in the grassland. Kestrels have also been seen nesting in the huge dragline.
Summer
Watch overhead for herons and little egrets dropping into the reeds to feed, female bitterns flying low over the reedbeds as they seek out food for their chicks or marsh harriers passing food to each other in flight. Keep an eye on the open water for lines of young ducklings paddling along behind their parents or young great crested grebes riding around on their parents' backs and admire the abundant lilypads on the lakes. Stoats, weasels and water voles are often seen at this time of year as are basking butterflies and dragonflies hawking the waters edge. Thousands of black-headed gulls set up a colony at this time of the year filling the air with their calls. Summer is the best time to spot the elusive black necked grebe as it will have its fluffy youngsters in tow. Avocets also nest at this time of year. St Aidan’s is a good place to spot this iconic bird that is the logo of the RSPB.
Autumn
Autumn sees the arrival of migrant birds, such as black-tailed godwits, ruffs and green sandpipers. Local birdwatchers will also spot a few rarities such as spoonbills and pectoral sandpipers. Huge flocks of lapwings arrive to spend winter with us and can be seen around pool edges and on grassland. Short-eared owls hunt over the reedbeds and our winter wildfowl begin to arrive. Look out for flashes of blue as kingfishers flit up and down the river.
Winter
Waders and wildfowl such as lapwings, curlews, wigeons, teals, shovelers and goldeneyes gather in big numbers, roosting and feeding across the grasslands and pools. Water rails can be spotted feeding on frozen pools, or you can listen out for their strange, pig-like squealing! The elusive bittern is also drawn out into the open at times. One of the most awesome spectacles in winter is seeing massive flocks of roosting birds panic and fly into the air as peregrines hunt over the site. Look and listen out for overwintering stonechats. Their calls sound like two pebbles being knocked together!

Somewhat disappointed at Crosby last night, the tide and the sky just didn't do it for me, one last quick grab shot here as we went back home. Reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock ?
He was up much earlier than I was but now was trudging back to his tent with head down to his boots. It looked like the fish had been too clever for him this beautiful day.
Thanks very much for all your kind comments on my last post. She is alone in Bangkok tonight .....

Slightly disappointed with my days chase of the KBS I received word that IAIS 513 would be leading the Blue Island to Council Bluffs road train. With that information in my hands I quickly beat feet for BI to find the 513 rolling into the yard in great sun light as the yard crew started assembling the the BICB. Knowing the train would leave well under the cover of darkness it was an easy choice of where to light them up at. After a couple hour wait, BICB rolls past the 80th st. station in Tinley park.
I can honestly say this may have been the one and only time I was disappointed that one of the IC "death star" GP40R's wasn't in the lead. Nothing wrong with the 7592 mind you and by the time of this January 2004 shot the handwriting was already on the wall for the WC SD45 fleet, but the trailing IC 3129 was pretty damn cool in its own way as it was equipped with the big L shaped window. CN train L554 kicks up the snow at Caffey on a cold winter noon hour.
If you are ever wondering about getting a new camera for street photography the Fuji film XS 20 with the sigma 18 50 f2.8 is a great choice 👍 Good enough for night time shots too and does a good job taking landscape photos too! The video capabilities are more than average in this camera! The only thing missing is weather sealing.
I've been looking out for these beauties and today I wasn't disappointed, my first sighting so far this year, this was the only one I saw and it was in the woods not in the open, resting on the bluebells, it was very obliging, letting me get very close but it has been rather cold, which helps
Disappointed with the quality of this photo from more than one and a half miles away. But since I am on a mission to take a pic of every lighthouse in MD, I'll take what I can get until I can get closer with a boat. I just passed the halfway mark to getting them all. A couple of the lighthouses looks like they are going to be difficult getting decent shots. Fishing Battery Lighthouse in Havre de Grace being left to slowly fade away.
I know... I know. So many apps. After I dropped this once, I was so disappointed because I really liked it, it's just the pieces were hard to find. But now... Now I have some. I really liked this story guys, so I'm apping again.

Nowhere, Oct. 8th 20**
A man walked by a cave. It was sealed, and no one else actually knew it was a cave. The man made sure no one was watching, and begin to walk towards it. He pressed a stone, revealing the entrance. He had sealed this entrance after they were dismantled. After he left the team with nothing.
He walked inside, and turned on a light. There, he saw a ship he once piloted, when Cosmo wasn't doing it. It was his ship, the one that the Nova Corp took away from him. He walked to it, and ran his fingers along the side. It was beat up and old, but still functioning. When he touched the ship, he saw flashes of his past adventures with the ship. As they called, "The Good 'Ol Days."
It was a time that no one had to worry about. That's what they were there for. To stop intergalactic crime before it was supposed to happen. And they did, before he left.
He got in, and sat in his chair. He was tired of running. He just wanted to be left alone.
He started the ship up, and pressed a button on the ship, similar to a garage door opener. The roof of the cave opened, and the ship flew out.
--------------------
Zandar, Oct. 8th 20**
"Sir?" said a stationary.
Eric looked over.
"What? I said not to bother me unless it's something important!"
The stationary pointed to the screen.
"I know its been 5 years... but we have a signal."
Eric grinned.
"We found the bastard. Any Nova Core officers in the area?"
"Yes sir... about 2..."
"Screw it. I'll do it myself."
"Sir, you haven't been in the field since Quill left!"
Eric grabbed his helmet.
"I know."
-------------------
Somewhere in space, same day.
The man looked out the window of his cockpit to see a blue light flying towards him. He knew that light, but thought it unlikely that it could be Eric. Then he heard something hit the back of the ship. It WAS Eric.
Quill put on the loud speaker.
"Hey Eric! See you're back in action."
Quill could see Eric screaming in the mirror of the ship. He started laughing. The he heard a crunch.
"Hey! I stashed this thing away, and you're going to just break it! Not cool Eric. Not cool."
Eric eventually reached the cockpit.
"... Quill. I think you know you're rights already. So, I"m just going to take you."
"Look, that sounds fun and all, but I'll pass. I'm really in a big mess right now."
"Oh I know. With NOVA CORE."
Eric grabbed Quill's shoulder and carried him off the ship.
Quill could see his ship floating in space, just waiting to be stolen.
-------------------
Back at Zandar
"Now... this is ironic. You left when the chief was still in charge... and alive. Now I'm in charge... and I'm Nova."
They were in a white room, or the interrogation room.
"You were always Nova Eric. Ever since I got here."
"And I should thank you for that. But I won't. Now i know you Quill. Why do you want to get caught? After 5 years of running?"
"I wanted to know what happened to them."
"Oh, you mean the Guardians?"
"Yes I mean the Guardians you dumb shit."
"Well, here you go."
Eric passed Quill a paper that read all the Guardian's names. Phylla Vell was deceased. Vance Astro was deceased. Agent Venom was on Earth. Groot and Rocket Raccoon are considered heroes on Zandar. Drax was deceased. Adam Warlock was in space. And Cosmo was still missing. Just like Quill.
"You two ran off together right? You should have and idea of where he is..."
"Why? You think that he just accepted me?"
"I wouldn't after what you did."
"Exactly."
"Well, you're here under the orders of the chief. His final words were bring them back. The universe needs the Guardians. So we're going to do that."
"Can I...."
"No. We do this my turn now. You screwed it up the last time Quill. And I'm still not a fan of you."
Peter looked at the list.
"I want to know how they died."
"You want to know? It's a long story Quill."
Peter looked around.
"Looks like I got time."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah that's my app! It takes place 5 years after an event that shall not be named. But anyways, the whole story if accepted will be flashbacks and the present. But I hoped you guys like the story as much as I do right now.
Disappointed that we couldn't enjoy the library's rooftop views, Perry decided to take us to another viewpoint, right at the top of the DoubleTree by Hilton!
very disappointed with todays captures. this photo could've been stunning but somehow I've managed to put my exisisting settings way out. the more I try to fix settings the worse it becomes, think I need new camera, perhaps santa will bring me 1. used auto today only because my usual p setting was having none of it. feel annoyed if I don't upload to flickr every couple of days. edited pic with windows only to try an make it better but to no avail.
I've not be well this week - rotten horrid cold. I don't get them very often but when I do they tend to knock me off my feet. Having asthma I have to be doubly careful.
Kaiser has loved having me home and has been a marvellous carer whilst I've been lying 'dying' in bed. He was very disappointed this morning when he saw me getting ready for work.
Hopefully I will feel tip top by Sunday so we can go out adventuring.
Happy Furry Friday everyone!
Wishing you all a fab weekend:-)
Dear contacts, and friends
You’re probably going to be disappointed in me. Maybe you’ve seen this coming; my 365 is a constant stream of apologies and excuses and whereas before, I’d convinced myself I was doing it for me, I’m not anymore. I’m doing it so as not to let anyone down. But the thing is, that it just doesn’t mean the same as it used to. I’m not changing anymore, in style; my editing has been in the same, gauze-ish rut for a while and I like it there. And I’ve worked out exactly how to catch the light in my hair so that it lights up red and ever photo is the same; golden hour, gazed expression, no originality. I just don’t enjoy this anymore. I haven’t since before summer. I can’t work up the motivation to go out and take photos of my face, again. I thought at first that this would boost my self-confidence but it never managed to. And I don’t need this for that, anymore. It’s a drag and I hoped it never would be. I’ve been cheating since the very start of summer and it absolutely sucks.
But you know all that.
Fact is, something has to change. And I know that that either means I give it up entirely or transform it to something that suits me better. And so, for now, I’m going to try having my 365 as an all-encompassing portraiture project; photos of others, and not just myself. So the 365 itself isn’t over, but it’s changed a lot. It won’t be me you see every day. That doesn’t mean that it won’t ever be me again; hopefully, going out and taking self-portraits will be more of a joy when it’s under my own steam.
I don’t know what I’ll do when it’s over, or why I’m even continuing it – so as not to let people down, I guess. I don’t like my photos with the exception of a rare few throughout the entire project, but I have the bad habit of never liking my own work anyway. There are parts of this year that I cannot wait to forget. Then again, there are parts I want to remember. I’m no different to whoever I was on January 1st but my outlook has changed a lot, as have the circumstances I’m in and so documenting that change was why I did this project in the first place.
I’m pretty sure it’ll be a relief for you all not to have to put up with my face, aha. Hopefully this is the start of a kind of regeneration, as it were – of new photos, new ideas and fresh faces. I’ve got to concentrate a lot more on my A2 for now, but I promise I’ll still be here every day.
Love. x
