February Photoblogging Challenge Day 29: My sister-in-law and her (now) husband chose 29 February as their wedding day—taking full advantage of the leap year! I suppose this means that they’ll get to have an official anniversary every four years. 📷🗓
Listening to Max Richter’s Memoryhouse to calm the soul before a big wedding later today…
February Photoblogging Challenge Day 28: I recently had to record some footage at the slab-making department (near where I work). Here’s a frame from some of that footage, with a hot steel slab below the deck where I was standing. 📷

February Photoblogging Challenge Day 26: There truly is no escape from birds at the moment. In addition to Rogue and Rio, we now have Rocky (left) and Pepe (right), who are staying while my parents-in-law do a big tidy-up at their house. Lovely sounds! 🐤❤️
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. 📷
