this week's "photo" marks the beginning of a training season, with the ultimate aim of completing a triathlon in about 6 months time. these new running shoes i've purchased for the job currently have a mileage of 1.2 miles - if all goes to plan i may re-visit this image later in the year to see how they've handled the miles.

this 'orthographic projection' image wasn't quite what i had in mind as the finished item, and i'm not 100% happy with it, but nevertheless the week is up so it will have to suffice.

...for when there's something strange in the neighbourhood...

no flashes in use here, just a bit of makeshift LED torch lighting

yesterday, as a result of some procrastination, i started a 52 week thingymajig.

and what better way to start than with a mish-mash of all the tools i use in my day to day creations...

alfie got 'the chop' a few days ago - the cookie monster offered his sympathies.

woffle chomping down on a nice bit of deadwood, and pulling some peculiar facial expressions in the process.
