I ordered more Moo cards last week from the UK for my photography work.

They arrived today.

I love Royal Mail. It’s so efficient and quick.

Of course, I’m now waiting on a particular English girl to correct me with a plethora of mail horror stories.

Update: According to the ‘particular English girl’ Royal Mail is great … Why am I disappointed about this?

It has been pointed out to me no less than three times in the last seven days something I quite often forget. I have a reasonable crowd of people who are following my progress through the 365 Days project.

I know there are people looking at my photos as I have access to the view count for each image, but what I didn’t realise was the investment some people put into my project. I have been told by three different people (in two different countries) that if they log on to flickr in the evening and I haven’t posted my self portrait for the day they find themselves worrying about me. They are actually concerned that something might of happened to me. My recent posting (Day 50) at 11.59pm wouldn’t of helped them at all!

I must say I am both surprised and humbled by this investment. Thanks guys … it means a lot. I’ll try to post a little earlier from now on.

I’m catching up slowly on my activities…

Saturday saw me venturing somewhat hesitantly to the Malloy residence for their annual Grand Final BBQ. I have been in contact with Tony and Rae via blog comments and Flickr for many years but had never actually met them.

So Saturday was the day. I went in to the house and was immediately greeted warmly as if a family member or an old friend. The advantage of participating in the 365days self portrait project is that they had a fairly good idea what I looked like.

What a great bunch of people I met on that day. I came across a person whose blog I have been following for at least the last five years and whom I purchase a “Gollum” statue from off eBay to complete my Lord of The Rings set. It was great to finally catch up with him after years of occasional emails.

Of course I had my camera with me and put it to good use (with full permission from Tony and Rae) and the featured photo is but one of the shots I managed to capture of little Bert and others.

As said before I had a great time and hope it isn’t a year before I catch up with Tony, Rae, Daniel, Marita (spelling) et al.

Thanks for the invite Tony!

Tony blogged about the photos I took at his bbq yesterday (of which I will blog about soon).

Thanks Tony for the kind words!
