53/100 Strangers.

53/100 Strangers.

While I was having a lunchtime walk yesterday I saw a Suez truck (below) but there were no workmen around. I was on my way home when I saw another one and the crew. As soon as I saw stranger N°53 I knew he was a must, the workman's helmet was just too tempting!

I asked him and another man (stranger 54) if I could take their photos and explained the project to them. They both said that it didn't sound as though I needed help in improving my communication skills. I've obviously got my speech off to an art now! But, they both agreed and took a card each to find their photos.

Meet Christophe, he's 44 and comes from Etretchy a largish town near here. He's lived there all his life. He's married with 3 children and works for Suez. He works for the department that deep clears the drains. When he's not working he likes to go fishing or ride Quad bikes. I forgot to ask if he had his own.

He was a really nice guy and listened with interest to what I was doing and didn't mind having his photo taken or giving me some information about himself. I took around four photos of him as I was worried that with the light and his helmet I was going to loose a lot of his facial features. I took 2 without the flash and 2 with it. This was the best of them all.

Last night's dinner.

Veal with peas and carrots and fresh mushrooms. Served with spaghetti.
It was a knock up cooked by Graham which worked really well. Could have done with a second helping!
