I have been quiet around here this week! However, I have started the 365 day photo project, and have just started a Flickr account to put them all in - I'll put a link in my sidebar when I get it organised properly.

So - I will give you a quick run-down of the week, in pictures,

Sunday - my husband died... well, he was dead to the world all afternoon anyway - good job I didn't 'marry for the companionship'!

week 1 Sunday

Monday I went to the local hospital to take a clinic, as usual, it was wet. This is the view from the car-park to the hospital itself.

Week 1 Monday

Tuesday was the first Tuesday in the month - so I headed south to take a clinic in Port Erin - it was wet and windy - this is the sea beside the main road at Gansey.

Week 1 Tuesday

When I woke on Wednesday it had been snowing. I was too busy hacking the snow off the windscreen of the car to take a picture. However, by the afternoon the sun had come out - I passed through St. John's and stopped to take a picture of some crocuses.

Week 1 Wednesday

Thursday - up north to Ramsey - the sun shone, but it was cold - and there was still snow anywhere much above sea-level - but only a dusting -

Week 1 Thursday

Friday I was off work. I spent the morning at a funeral - but thought it not really the place to take photos! My great-aunt had lived to 98, and was ready to go, so it was not one of those very, very sad funerals - just an acceptance that she had moved on.

However, by mid-afternoon I was doing something much more cheerful - I collected Daughter-dear from the airport - she is on a flying visit home, to see friends before they go travelling for a year or two, celebrate a couple of birthdays etc. It was a damp, grey, afternoon - the weather at the funeral had been much more cheerful! This is recognisable to most Manx people - 'Leggy' here is a sort of 'Welcome Home' figure as you step outside of the airport building. (He is really called 'Three Legs' and is a bronze sculpture by Brian Kneale.)

Week 1 Friday

As for today - it is damp, and boring outside - a day for cleaning the kitchen, sitting playing on the computer, and doing a bit of reading. All go better with a hot drink. So here is my kettle - because I love it, and yes - it really does glow blue whilst it boils!

week 1 Saturday.



I also took a couple of pictures of my shiny new cooker - I'll post them later when I upload them onto my usual photobucket account.
