151/365:2010 John Deere

Not a sight you expect to see in a quiet avenue in East Belfast. A tractor parked up at our neighbour's house!

In other news, I took a wee run into town this evening to get a fancy burger from the Continental Market before it leaves Belfast, but the burger stall had stopped serving by 5.20pm even though the Market is open until 8pm! Very disappointing!

150/365:2010 Dashing Dog

Home from church and Youth Group, and I'm greeted by Pippa the puppy going a bit mental. Her head and tail are both blurred because she's moving so very quickly!

149/365:2010 Light and Dark

A late one, and so I captured the pattern on the dining room ceiling.

148/365:2010 Yellow Rose

Remember the yellow bud just a week ago? It's now in full bloom in the kitchen.

147/365:2010 Dog's Dinner

A kind of a saying tonight, but also Pippa getting her supper.

146/365:2010 Coppers

A bedtime picture. Every night I have to clear the coppers out of my pocket. Quite a collection and they soon add up. I liked the shine of some as the light hit them.

145/365:2010 Taking Down A Peg Or Two

Inadvertently, this seems to be proverbs week, after Sunday's effort too.

I much prefer taking things off the line than hanging them on the line. There's maybe less effort, or perhaps it's more satisfying to clear a line of washing than to fill it?

144/365:2010 Testing, Testing

MOT today and the car passed! Hurray! A week of holiday began today so there's lots of wee things to get sorted this week, as well as getting to know Pippa!

143/365:2010 Let Sleeping Dogs Lie!

Pippa taking a well deserved rest after lots of excitement. Let's hope she sleeps tonight better than last night!

Oh, also, don't worry, this isn't going to turn into a 365 dog set - Pippa may appear from time to time but won't feature every day.

142/365:2010 Introducing...

Pippa our puppy!

141/365:2010 Empty Bed

Ready and waiting for it's new occupant...

140/365:2010 Rose Bud

This yellow rose is just beginning to open up. Another day spent in the house recovering...

139/365:2010 Behind Bars

Looks like the Queen has been imprisoned, but to be frank, it's just how the Royal Mail stamp their authority over her.

138/365:2010 A Wet Evening

This is possibly my worst 365 photo to date - it didn't work at all, but it was the only photo taken on the say so it'll have to do. I think I was aiming for the silhouette of the church tower and Cleland mausoleum, but it doesn't stand out properly. Didn't take any more as it was raining so I wanted together home having popped out for milk!

137/365:2010 Empty!

These lasted almost three weeks - a birthday present, but all gone now, the chocolates which were housed in these little compartments!

136/365:2010 Preached!

Sunday again, and tonight I was preaching from Genesis 29 on Jacob finding a wife and getting two.

135/365:2010 Getaway!

Ladybird trying to escape from my camera... Spent some time out in the jungle cutting the grass.

134/365:2010 Wedding Shadowing

Today was the first wedding in St E's since our arrival two years ago, so I was shadowing Tim to see how he leads it, given that we have five next year! Congratulations to Philip and Joanne on their special day!

133/365:2010 A Couple of Carsons

Took another pre-lunch walk in Stormont estate, just up and down the hill, but stupidly forgot my earphones! I don't do enough exercise, so these walks are useful, and also a good opportunity to listen to sermons or music on my iPod. Not today!

At the top, I was looking at the new interpretive signs and spotted this angle for two views of Sir Edward Carson for the price of one!

132/365:2010 Yellow Flowers, Yellow Cranes

The Harland and Wolff cranes in Belfast are a famous part of the skyline in the Titanic Quarter of the city. The whole area is now being redeveloped.
