I have no strong feelings about water except that it is unfit to drink.<BR/><BR/>If anyone else, like RG, took my Alzheimers story too seriously, the "I'll forget it if he will" was a joke, although I don't expect most of the Ollerton readership to 'get it'. <BR/>I cannot get too worked up about it (although Sandra already has several 'scotchers' at work) because we think it was most likely a 'send me three and fourpence' consequence of me suggesting that Ralph (the dog) has Alzheimers. He is, after all, 30 (dog) years older than me!<BR/>But I don't see it as a significantly more vicious a rumour than someone falsely putting it about, for instance, that I have a broken leg (I don't).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-67493240504420689342008-01-17T09:14:00.000+00:002008-01-17T09:14:00.000+00:00As a (mainly) erstwhile judge who still likes cand...As a (mainly) erstwhile judge who still likes candy-floss water could I request a blogmeister picture depicting water as he thinks it should be shown?<BR/><BR/>The reason I like candy-floss water is shown in your picture. The contrast between the solid, sharp stone and the soft, flowing water creates, I believe, a greater impression of movement. Added to that is the fact that our eyes don't see moving water in the way your photo shows it, hence, it's also a creative technique that shows some personal input by the photographer.<BR/><BR/>I think the 'haps' (have you got trouble with c-ing?) may well be right though. Judges do favour them a lot and so do magazines. This may be because it's a simple technique to do. (I like to use the words simple and judges in the same paragraph if not the same sentence.) Consequently we probably see far more of them than we should.<BR/><BR/>Having pulled the theme 'water' out of the EPS hat some weeks ago, guess what my water pictures are going to be like.<BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-71532602156880455482008-01-16T23:27:00.000+00:002008-01-16T23:27:00.000+00:00You mentioned a couple of days ago that you had be...You mentioned a couple of days ago that you had been bulied or shamed into having a haircut and it made me realise that mine hasn’t been cut for 4 months. At one time chemotherapy was renowned for causing baldness, something which now appears to have been largely eradicated (observation makes me think that, unfortunately, it is now more likely to happen to women). I don’t think I have suffered any loss (and for those who don’t know, I still have a ‘decent head of hair’ for my age) but the growth rate does appear to have slowed down as I still look semi-respectable. What do they say about every cloud? (silver is appropriate).<BR/><BR/>As for today’s blog, I am wary of being ‘atched’ as it might make me cross.<BR/><BR/>Any digital photographers may be interested in a current Tesco offer. 150 A5 (approx) prints are 6p each (£9) but 151 are 5p each (£7.55). Apparently you just upload (?) them online to the Tesco site, specify a store, and pay when you collect. The quality is very good (I haven’t had any but have seen 151 this afternoon, all of seals apart from 3 stags and a half dozen of birds including shags, cormorants and puffins. I am told that it is hard to tell a shag from a cormorant except that you don’t fancy a ciggy after a cormorant). <BR/><BR/>I have a hare hanging in the garage (shot 8 days ago and due to be skinned and gutted etc this weekend; also 2 pheasant, shot yesterday and ready for skinning and jointing next Tue or Wed. £5 the lot to Sandra! (but something of a favour).<BR/><BR/>Apparently there is a rumour going around Ollerton that I am suffering from Alzheimers (it stems from me walking Ralph down to the newsagent, fastening him to the door handle while I went in, and getting halfway home before he barked at me to be released. He has refused to leave the house since!).<BR/>I have sent a letter to our community newspaper, saying that I am aware of this rumour, bear the monger no ill will and am prepared to forget about it if he is.<BR/><BR/>I too prefer a 'charm' of goldfinches, Jill. But is wasn't on my 'googled' list.<BR/><BR/>Like your quote, blogmeister.
