The Festival of Speed. You get to watch pretty cars all day.

If you like F1, it's pretty much the only place outside of F1 that the teams seem to be interested in taking part in.

I'm tired and bored. Thought this lunch break could be amusingly spent surfing the net, but when actually sat down in front of staff room computer couldn't think of a single interesting thing to investigate.

Also, I can't think of anything to take a photo of. I've been scratching my noggin' and I worry I've run out of local things to snap. What else is there in Cardiff? Help! :(

How about some wildlife? You tend to take portraits and landscapes mostly, might be a nice change for you. Maybe some Macro stuff? Love a good bug hunt I do, and the kit lens we have is decent enough for it.

I've felt like that for two years now. Hopefully the tinkerers' meet will spark something in me again, and hopefully I'll be back on the road (in a car, natch) fairly soon, so I can get out into the countryside.

Link me please! I love me some J Nash.

Good thinking, Zardoz. A bug hunt would be interesting. I shall try for it. Also! Maybe I should try taking some amusing indoor stuff, like that piggy on the bath I did. Instead of going out trying to find shots all the time maybe should I mix it up by creating my own. *Strokes chin*

Yeah, think I’ll try that tonight.

As for the meet on the 21st August; no can do I’m afraid. I’m off to the Green Man Festival. Joanna Newsom! The Unthanks! Flaming Lips! Hawk and a Hawksaw! Hail the Planes! Mumford & Sons (far, far better live than their sadly average recordings suggest) Pie Minister!

Would like to see you guys soonish though. ?:|

You should expand on the piggy pic, would be nice to make it into a set.

Been thinking of taking some indoor stuff too recently, got a small light box from work that I'd like to mess with taking pics of my collectable toys and things. Also, I keep hoarding translucent plastics and glass to mess with... although I'm not sure what to do. I'll just have a muck about I guess.

Mrs Squirt freaked out hugely yesterday after finding a slow worm in our garden. I'm tempted, in the name of SCIENCE, to tell her that I looked it up and it was actually an viperous, poisonous Adder, just to see how traumatised she'll get.

Or you could conduct an experiment to see if she freaks out more when she finds a slow worm indoors. Just to compare. Maybe you could do a room-by-room test too.

We've got quite a few interchangeable Beexers, it seems. Which'll be handy if we lose one.

Get yourself down to Tesco - steer yourself world food aisle and get some Sun Exotic Tropical. 3 cans for £1.

To my ageing taste buds it's pretty close.
