Hello; have you missed me as much as I’ve missed you? Really?
Don’t know where the week went. First off, I was totally knackered after travelling and photographing and posting and generally doing stuff. Plus staying up too late with she who must be obeyed as she attended to her ever-expanding farm and pet empires on Facebook. Plus assorted chores that you wouldn’t want to know about (fixing a toilet roll holder, for example), none of which offered sufficient comedic content to make them worth writing about. And then it was she who must be obeyed’s two day “weekend”; can’t remember what we did but it took up the time. Oh, and I went windsurfing briefly which totally destroyed my body the following morning.
And now I have just returned from 3 days of shooting polo, with 2,500 photos to process before the next tournament starts in four days time; so I am exhausted again. Feel a little like this guy….

…who was meant to be photographing his wife playing polo and fell asleep instead. Still, as he was shooting with a Nikon that is probably the best thing to do (oh, you bitch).
Sorry for the interruption, some sort of normal service may now be resumed; but first I need to sleep.

2010-02-07| Pete saysMay I be the first to say “Welcome back”. Yes we have missed you and your humorous commentary on life in general. Now please don’t spoil it by bothering us with a gazillion pictures of some four-legged creatures who think they’re immune to fucking gravity.
2010-02-08| Spike saysThank you Pete. I have looked up gazzilion and discovered it is much more than twenty, so I won’t disappoint.
2010-02-08| Antz saysIt seems this busy lifestyle is starting to severly affect your windsurfing (…hmmm, lack of it). Hope to see you back soon (I’ve still got a CD of goodies in my car waiting for you)…..
2010-02-08| Spike saysA complete absence of wind has not helped. Still, thank you for the CDs. I do hope they are better, and more legal, than that previous collection you gave me; a quite bewildering blizzard of farm animals, poo, and young ladies doing stuff I always considered to be anatomically impossible.
2010-02-08| Antz saysOh my…. you were supposed to “vet” them (no pun intended, really), with the intention of distribution….
Oh, great wind for the past three days though….
2010-02-08| Spike saysYeah, I saw the wind. Conveniently clashed with a three day polo shoot.
2010-02-08| Spike saysTo be followed by a three day photo process, a four day polo shoot, a four day photo process, a bike shoot and maybe two additional shoots to be confirmed. That’s February gone then. Wind in March please.
2010-02-09| Antz says….brand new windsurfing board available - in desparate need of use, absolute bargain. Interested parties, contact Spike…..
2010-02-09| Spike saysActually I do have an immaculate Carve 111 I want to get rid off, complete with board bag.
Otherwise, I will be back.
