At Home: 700

A fine time to fiddle. 700 blips. I tried to be consecutive and have them all in a row as I had planned. I wanted to have the diary entry format initially for my children for the future, if not for myself to look back on.

I realise before I started to blip that I had, had a period of my life missing. Being without a camera or a pen, failing to make a note of the day, is like going on holiday and forgetting the smiles, the sand in your sandwiches, the shivering in an icy wind. How do you record a memory? Is your own memory enough? Well, I think we were all blessed with recollection because we were supposed to be visual creatures.

I looked at the new supermarket advert that beautifully show ww1 soldiers crossing the front line to exchange gifts at Christmas and play football. I read a few complaints about how could a supermarket use this as a means to sell christmas shopping. I think, thats missing the point. Sometimes it doesnt matter who is the messenger as long as the message moves. Images matter. This proves it and for that Ill carry on blipping.
