So... sorry to anybody who has been wondering where my Project365 has disappeared to over the past couple of weeks. I've been on holiday, and I'm not a great one for telling the world I'm about to leave the house empty for a fortnight! However, I'll be trying to catch up soon... prepare for some cheesy holiday snaps!
This is Marie and Jenni at Glasgow Airport, waiting for us to be allowed to board our slightly-delayed Jet2 flight to Nice. We were delayed an hour or so; not nearly so bad as the flight that was twelve hours late a few gates further along the corridor. That one had Police keeping order!
Once we got on to the flight, everything went smoothly. We got to Nice airport (a fun place; the runway extends out into the sea, and you can't see any land until the very last moment. You sit there, wondering if you're really on a sea plane!), then it became apparent that I had lost my mobile phone.
Some sweet nothings then ensued between husband and wife...
We got a note of the airport's lost property office phone number, then went to get our car. By now we were really late, and by the time we got to the camp site we were going to the only person we could find was the security guard. Luckily, he was able to raise a Eurocamp rep, and even though our car had to stay outside the camp site, we were able to get to our van and collapse for the night. Thank goodness that Eurocamp provided a bottle of wine on arrival :-)

Today I feel like this photograph. I woke up this morning with the worst cold I've had in a good few years. Walked to uni, town, uni and then home in the rain - with a hole in my shoe, so I've had squelchy socks all day. On a plus note, James and I did a talk on The Voice to the new Journalism students today - I'm pretty sure we've got some new contributors!!
It's been raining on and off this week, so an umbrella seemed like an appropriate photo. This sign has been on top of the Insurance Exchange Building since the early 1960s. Even though it is the former logo of the Travelers Insurance Company, the sign is still maintained by the current building owner. The sign is more than 3 stories tall, and is an icon in downtown Des Moines.
I took several photos of this, and had no idea which one to select for the daily shot. Even though the sign is neon red, I ended up going with a b/w photo because I liked how it gave the feel of an earlier era as well as the look of the fog rolling over the top of the building in the background.
Yes... they need to be cleaned... I can see that now!

RAW shot straight out of the camera (apart from the slight vignette added in photoshop). It took everything I am to stop myself from turning this into sepia ;-)
I had a new set of books for Christmas. I must go around with my eyes shut though (either that, or my glasses need a good clean!), because I have never heard of Edward Cullen or the books about him. Anyway.... I started reading the first in the series, and I can't put it down! I'm just over halfway through and have barely done anything else today but read!
So, having done this most of today, I thought it apt to take a photograph of what has taken up my time.
This is shot on my bedside table and yes... that's a photograph of me in the background, pregnant on my youngest - taken 20months ago now - how time has flown! Also seated behind the book, although you can see him in his entirety, is Tommy - he is one of my prized Deans Bears, bought for me by my husband some years ago.
Quite possibly the only development "gap" on Vancouver's main drag, Granville Street, that will probably remain a "gap" because of it's limited width.

Today's Project 365 pic was rather easy to get. I just stoop in the carpark at work and shot these guys working on the cellular equipment that is mounted on the old chimney stack next door.
While not as high as @jemban got in the cage at the new Ballarat Health Services site ( www.thecourier.com.au/multimedia/27929/ballarat-from-the-... ), it is still higher than I would like to go while hanging off a crane.
100 days of Project 365 to go!

We had a few thundery showers today. The garden was nice and fresh the next day. I stayed dry and shot this through the kitchen window
Q. What do you get when you cross Eurovision with Justin Bieber?
A. Today's Project 365 pic, 1960's Dutch singing sensation 'Heintje'.
Another classic title that if you play it backwards it summons the Devil.

Big kids like playing in the snow too!

I took my oldest son out to play in the snow this morning while my 20mth old was in the warm with his dad (was just too cold and windy for him this morning). My 5yr old was supposed to be building a snowman with me..... but he was busy playing in the snow to help - then he went indoors - leaving me with an unfinished project! So... naturally, I had to finish! There was my son, indoors, mouthing instructions to me through the window!!!
So, here is my snowman - no help at all from my little man!

another day of goodbyes. taken during a layover at the dallas airport waiting to get myself back home to austin.
Rather than take the piss out of my Grandparent's record collection like I normally do, for today's Project 365 pic I thought I'd show this different one.
It is a promotional record from the Amoco Petrol company.
This 33 1/3 is called "Nice Clean Petrol"
It was probably free with a tank of fuel, but they now sell for $0.99 or the rarer ones sell for about $10.
The song "Where the Mind Can Breathe" sounded like this youtu.be/9jp9mhtPclw
Apparently there was also a picture disc with a photo of the car and people from the commercial at the time youtu.be/w4yHgjX75ys

Tonight Chad and I headed to the EGR HS track for some speed work. This was my first round of speed work so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was definitely harder than I anticipated, but more rewarding than I could have hoped. It hurt coming out of the 400s, but knowing that I was increasing my pace each time was really gratifying.
Chad was kind enough to model for me after our run. Thanks Chad!
For the record - I've gone 11 weeks in a row, 3 days in a week. Today started 4 days a week. Bridge Run is Sept 20 - I plan to run it in under 28!
It turned out to be a better Sunday than I expected, with a surprise early release from the hospital..
A brick wall. Obviously.

Was in there till 3am editing Kyriacos' video. Felt shitty about myself when i woke up -- over slept and missed out the meeting with Kyriacos, Kishore and John Ellis. Bloody hell. Haven't doubt my self worthy like this for a long time. Where is my credibility?
But my girls randomly showed up sitting in my room when I came out of shower wrapped with only a towel :0 LOLs. I freaked them out by looking serious. They are the best human being on earth, like the shameless version of angels bringing all the happiness to me.
Freezing to death watching St. Trinians with them and it was the good time I miss so much.
I'm a little unsure about this picture. I like it. But it's such a nice day outside, I'll probably go outside again later and take a few more pictures.
Ryan with his new skateboard practicing how to Ollie! We drove out to a near by construction zone where he had access to the whole street.
Project365 Day 21.
Blommie the Whippet left her dance-partner to die on the dance floor. I suspect she'll revive him later :)
How Paul McCartney saved me $350. Last week the wife asked if I wanted to go see Paul McCartney. Since the only ad I'd seen mentioned a Wednesday concert, I said no, but it turns out there were also Saturday and Sunday shows, so I relented and she sent off $350 for two tickets for Sunday. Yesterday, Paul came up ill and had to cancel the Saturday show, but rescheduled it for Monday and said he was looking forward to the Sunday show. Well, I don't think anyone believed that if he was sick enough to cancel Saturday he would be well enough to perform on Sunday, but there was no word on-line, so we headed out to the stadium only to find on arrival that alas he was still sick and both the Sunday and Monday shows were cancelled. I'm OK with missing the show -- I'd seen him perform about 20 years ago -- but I feel sorry for the wife. She was a huge Beatles fan and was really looking forward to the concert. Now all we have to do is send in for a refund.
As consolation, we stopped at the Viet Nam Garden restaurant for a truly lovely dinner.
