hail, April is here


You can tell spring has sprung by the fact that I got hailed on three times in one day. The last time I was taken pity on by a kindly delivery driver who happened by and transported a soggy me the last 800m home. The second time I curtailed my stroll from home on account of not being able to lift my head up to see where I was treading. The first time was on the beachside with Eve. The hail so vicious I felt like crying.

Nevertheless the sun did show it's face so i snuck in to our capital and took a few snaps with the Hassie. Unfortunately I thought it was 400asa film in it but alas no it was 100 so I pushed the development somewhat.surpringly the negs were not too bad and definitely printable if I could raise the energy.

This is I might add a snap of the fuel depot near the centre of the town.  It's next door to a short-lived brewery bar.

Catditz prison


 

When I mention that Keith goes to prison whilst we are off island, this is where he goes. A nicely ventilated place out on the eye peninsula.  Hungry doesn't go on account of his reluctance to be caught.

Me by Her



Eve snapped me up on the last frame of the roll of film. I'm the one with the coat and bag. The other ones are sheeps.

This is how I looked this day. It's an island look trust me.

sisters

 

These are my sisters. One doesn't like her image portrayed the other only too keen to pose. There becomes a slight problem so I just snapped them up on a whim outside the nice hotel we stayed in Edinburgh the other weekend.  I am expecting phone calls.

down there

 


We like many places have had wonderful weather for a few days. Eve is out riding her bicycle in the sun as I write [and watch Milan-San remo race on pooter]. 

Such a lovely day when we took a light stroll down the road here. The birds were singing and everything. Keith was holed up at home for so he couldn't follow us down. He gets out whenever he wants usually but sometimes it is nice not to have him with us on a stroll.

Anyway, I had the Perkeo with me with the end of a roll of kentmere 200 inside so I took the opportunity to give you another angle of the village such as it is.
