Things wot I learned today

Some days offer you a lot of learning if you are willing to be instructed. Today I learnt the following:

- Footballers, like policemen, look younger as you get older.

- It is not a good idea to have a dinner party after you have been out all day and have tired yourself out pushing a sixteen stone woman in a wheelchair, particularly as it has already been a long and exhausting week.

- Orpington is the arse end of the universe. Although it does have a nice fruit and veg stall and a Holland and Barrett with a freezer.

- Photographing football is very difficult. Particularly if you are stupid enough to use a 300mm prime lens rather than something with a sensible zoom range.

- You risk banging your head on the wall if you nod off late at night whilst sitting on the settee with your laptop after a heavy meal with wine.


Apart from taking an hour out to take some highly unsatisfactory pics of out local footie team, and entertaining, also did the hundred mile round trip t0 see Aged P today who was in very fine fettle mentally and full of smiles and hugs, although her legs were very bad.

Nearly midnight now - late blip this one - zzzz......
