Well, well, well, where does the time go - the end of January already and eleven months to go to Christmas ....
I'm quite impressed with myself - missed two days and been late a couple of times - but as Gail quite rightly says - there's enough stress around without adding to it over a couple of photos ....
Here's to February .....

31/365 - Hazardous Driving ......
I cheated a bit yesterday when I was out and about and took a few photos to see me through the week - which sounds a bit defeatist I know but I get up, go to work and stay in the building for the day, come home when it's dark; all of which gives limited photo opportunities - you get the picture - pardon the pun - lol. You never know though - there might be the odd photo next week that wasn't taken yesterday - but sorry people, this one was .....
There is a lot being said about these things - potholes - at the moment; and where I live is no exception. In fact, one of the reasons I was out and about yesterday was to do a sort of Conditions Survey of the village roads where I have my part time job. All a bit of a waste of time really, I drove the sides of the triangle of the 'patch' which are main roads, although two of them are 'C' roads with the other one not even being worth a mention - lol; and didn't bother about the criss-crossing lanes - I would have needed a new Memory Card for the camera ....
West Sussex County Council, I am sure, know what their roads are like, without me telling them - lol.
I'm lucky I suppose, but because I deal with this sort of stuff for a living, I am more aware than the average person of where the potholes and broken up roads are and what causes them.
This isn't the biggest one by far - that one had been filled in .......

30/365 - Spring Is Coming ....
I was out and about today - in my car with the still wet seat - lol - and look what I found ....
This clump of snowdrops was growing by the side of the road on one of the very, very narrow winding country lanes around here. I screeched to a halt across a driveway just to have a look. Aren't they just lovely. The owner of the house came out to see what I was up to and he told me that he had planted a few bulbs some years ago and suggested I come back next weekend. When I looked again - there were loads poking through .....
Will pay another visit next week ....

29/365 - Practical Recyling .....
Last night I came home from work quite late. I was tired and had half my life on the back seat of my car to take indoors - boxes and numerous bags. Getting out of my car is a bit of a ritual - change out of driving shoes, get house key from special place, put office keys in special place, collect up the stuff you need for the drive home from passenger seat and cram it all into handbag and so on and so forth - lol .....
Anyways did all that, fell in the front door, dumped said bags etc. quick coffee and fell up the stairs to bed. When I went out of the house this morning to drive off to work, I found that I had left the car window open all night - and it had rained - a lot .....
So plastic carrier bags and a wet backside later, I took this photo ....
Mind you - I did lock the car - lol ......

26/365 - An Intense Day ....
I have been here today - the Capitol in Horsham .....
The Capitol is a cinema and a theatre (not been in there before - and all rather swish) but I was there in one of the meeting rooms for a day of HR (in my younger days it was called Personnel) on the subject of Managing Absence.
I learned a lot (I needed to), the people on the course were great (good networking going on), the teacher (or should it be facilitator - not really into buzz words) was excellent and the lunch was rather delish ......
Now all we have to do is put it all into practice ...
Oh and by the way for my eagle eyed buddies - I started this post at 11.58pm on Tuesday - so I'm not really late - lol ....
