Yes, I could never have imagined they might mean something to me, again. As young Merchant Navy Officers we travelled the world, getting some subs, cash in local currency if it looked likely we might get a run ashore in a particular port. Sometimes the vessel plans changed, or our cargo shifts on duty didn't give us a chance to get to the nearest bar. If we did, rarely did we get back onboard with any meaningful sum of cash in our pockets, but just occasionally we were stranded with some funny money, individual bank notes of a currency of little value we couldn't change once home. The Scotia bar in Glasgow, close to the banks of the Clyde, and just over the river from the Nautical College (GCNS) we attended had a historical role serving Merchant seamen, going back through its history to 1792, and somewhere along the line it became 'traditional' to give these old notes (that the barman undoubtedly refused to accept!) and peg them above the bar. I suspect most are from the 20th century, and I contributed a few around 1980. Today I sat and looked up to see if I could recognise any, I might have given, but none jumped out at me as I couldn't remember what currency I added to the collection. They might have been from Argentina, Brazil, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Poland, Portugal, or any of the other countries I ended up in.......countries that have a very different political 'colour' these days. I wish I had written something on those notes that I'm sure still hang in the bar. They were 'waste', surplus to requirements then, but now their presence means so much to me. And I never imagined that would ever be the case. Bank notes are almost redundant these days. One day someone will wonder what they are, and why they are hanging there!

Unfortunately my lovely friend Alfie

Goodbye my Heart♥

For this weeks Macro Monday theme-contraption. This steel fridge magnet is 2" in length, and is a note, list or card holder. This is a side view of it on it's back but when upright the sliding bearing holds paper in place! Quite useful except that I never use it! HMM!

This is basically how I've been feeling lately, but I thought

my sister could portray it well and she did! Thanks kiddo.

Note to self: take better photos.

My favorite spot to shoot sunset reflections again.... I'm scheduled for cataract surgery tomorrow so may be missing from flickr for a while as my eyes adjust. Hopefully it won't be a long break...

I figured it was time to start my Christmas shopping yesterday, even though it was a day earlier than my usual habit. I decided to bring my camera along and catch a few street scenes as well.

 

I played with some of the special presets on the trial copy of Lightroom I downloaded here.

Another 'to do' note dealt with and headed for the round filing cabinet. Done!

... on the evening light in spring: 20th May 2017, half-past-ten-ish.

This is just a little samba.

Built upon a single note.

Other notes are bound to follow.

But the root still that note.

Note the LT Titan Breakdown Tender , a regular parked up there back then. (CollectionFB)

Developed as a light-weight alternative to the original Carnifex HMG, the Light version is better suited to the average soldier, as a hydraulic combat rig is not required to properly use the weapon.

On a side note, all of the contents of my PC,s hardrive have been erased by a virus, so I've lost all the saved pasties for my guns :(

Looks like I'm starting over...

Hay pequeños lugares que no son muy artísticos, sin embarho tienen su encanto.
