February Photoblogging Challenge Day 29: My sister-in-law and her (now) husband chose 29 February as their wedding dayโ€”taking full advantage of the leap year! I suppose this means that theyโ€™ll get to have an official anniversary every four years. ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿ—“

February Photoblogging Challenge Day 25: It may look like Paco and Coco are trying to overcome the hurdle of this tub to escape but in actual fact, guinea pigs just enjoy shoving their faces into corners. ๐Ÿ“ท

Colleagues are discussing a film and exclaiming, โ€˜Oh my goodness! Have you seen it in 3D?!โ€™. Holding back a chuckle, I thought instantly, โ€˜What is this? The year 2010?โ€™.

February Photoblogging Challenge Day 21: My bedside table is a sign of tech progress over time and an inability to let go. Next to that iPod Hi-Fi is an iPhone 5 dock that still fits my larger 11 Pro perfectly. ๐Ÿ“ท ๐Ÿ˜€

February Photoblogging Challenge Day 16: Like many iOS nerds, Iโ€™m always trying to optimise my Home screen. Iโ€™m back to a minimalistic layout with Cradle Mountain, which Iโ€™m really enjoying. That folder that you see down the bottom is a container for what I call โ€˜The Restโ€™. ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿ“ฑ

February Photoblogging Challenge Day 15: On this day ten years ago, I was in Japan and spotted these signs. Even if itโ€™s unintentional, the Japanese achieve a perfect balance of helpful instruction and good humour. ๐Ÿ“ท
