Exhausted

· 518 words · 3 minute read

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.

May 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.

Thank you Pete. I have looked up gazzilion and discovered it is much more than twenty, so I won’t disappoint.

It 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)…..

A 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.

Oh 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….

Yeah, I saw the wind. Conveniently clashed with a three day polo shoot.


2010-02-08 | Spike says

To 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.

Actually I do have an immaculate Carve 111 I want to get rid off, complete with board bag.

Otherwise, I will be back.
