273/365:2010 First Christmas Card

Yes, it's the last day of September, and I've just received my first Christmas card! It's part of a mailing from Hayes and Finch, the clerical outfitters and church supplies stockist.

I don't think we'll put it up just yet!

272/365:2010 Funderland

Just a quick shot taken from the Boucher Road, near the Driver and Vehicle Test Centre. I wouldn't be a fan of these sort of things - at BB Camp, I was always the designated bag and wallet carrier as I didn't go on any of the rides!

271/365:2010 Doggy Dinners

The huge bag of Pippa's dogfood. How long will it take her to munch through all this?

270/365:2010 Fish Eye Lens

Having experienced the taste of 'typico canarias', we made some seafood paella tonight. The prawns we got had been beheaded, otherwise we would have had a real fish eye in the picture!

269/365:2010 Ballyvea Hall

Preached tonight at a harvest thanksgiving in Ballyvea Church Hall, in the townland of Ballyveaghmore in the parish of Annalong. The wee hall is up in the Mournes, and you park in the field beside it! It was great being back with the people of Kilhorne.

268/365:2010 Lost and Found

The other issue with our flight home was the rerouting due to French air traffic control striking. A longer route over the Atlantic needed more fuel, but the plane would have been too heavy to take off from Arrecife airport. Most of the luggage was removed from the plane, to be returned to us at some point. Two days later than us, Lynsey's bag arrived home.

267/365:2010 A Joyful Reunion

Pippa returned home from her holiday at the kennels, and we had a time of playing out in the garden to welcome her home! Lots of excitement all round!

266/365:2010 Last Resort

Our last day in Playa Blanca, and another warm one. We had loads of time before the flight to take a walk up the town, and then it turned out we had lots of time at the airport with the flight delayed by four hours...

265/365:2010 Moonlit Beach

Walking back from dinner

264/365:2010 Palm Paradise

Looking up at the palm tree above my sun lounger today.

263/365:2010 Poolside

A different angle today, closer to the fountain in the pool but it was a lot hotter on this side!

262/365:2010 View From My Sunlounger

Some dark clouds, but no rain today. Still warm and sunny, perfect weather for reading and relaxing!

261/365:2010 Holiday Tunes

Or rather, the lack of them... I discovered today that my iPhone had wiped the iPod section, leaving me with no songs, playlists, podcasts, audiobooks or tunes!

260/365:2010 Playa Blanca Again

Back on holiday in Lanzarote again. Revisiting familiar territory and enjoying the good weather.

259/365:2010 Come Fly With Me!

Day 1 of our 'summer' holidays!

258/365:2010 The Lord's Table

Midweek Holy Communion again. We go for a fairly basic set up on the Lord's Table.

257/365:2010 Church Chronicles

One of my bookshelves with books on the church.

256/365:2010 Figgy Feast

I used this yesterday in church as the object for the childrens' talk, speaking on the unfruitful fig tree in Mark 11. The checkout guy in Tesco didn't know what it was!

255/365:2010 Dundonald by Night

Already in bed and having forgotten to take a picture, I took this one in the dark!

254/365:2010 Metal Pattern

Sieve

253/365:2010 Erneside Reflections

Very peaceful this evening in Enniskillen.

252/365:2010 Behind Bars

The view of the sunset from behind the bars of the church office while I was in photocopying prior to the Select Vestry meeting tonight. Select Vestry is the committee of the local parish church, elected annually at Easter.

251/365:2010 Belfast Whoosh!

City Hall traffic

250/365:2010 Garibaldi!

It's like looking in a mirror!

249/365:2010 Brown Boots

Late night photo pressure and I had to take a photo of something. My boots caught my eye and that was the shot taken!

248/365:2010 Metallic Bokeh

My mp3 speaker

247/365:2010 Web Designer

Captured at Edenderry, near Omagh.

246/365:2010 Topped Sunset

Another wet sunset, although about 80 miles away from last night's; at a wee lake near the top of Topped Mountain in County Fermanagh.

245/365:2010 Holywood Sunset

Got to the pier slightly too late for the sun itself, but the sky still had some colour. And then the plane flew overhead!

244/365:2010 Playtime!

Waiting for the ball to be kicked up the hall to be chewed and retrieved!
