Meme + picspam

[kribu]

Have been having a rather eventless holiday weekend so far. Did some work on Saturday and yesterday, should do a bit today too - raining quite heavily, so not much else to do anyway. I am thinking it's better to do a bit of work every day instead of lazing around doing nothing for a few days and then exhausting myself trying to catch up.

Am starting to give up on hope of ever writing something creative again. Perhaps if a period with less work comes around again, but as things stand now, that's not very likely for at least another year. Work's just completely sapped me of any creative thought I might occasionally have had. A pity, but what can one do?

phistolemon_ tagged me for the "what's in your bag" meme, so here it is. Very boring, I'm afraid, but this gave me a good reason to clean out some of the trash in the bag and to test the new 30mm lens, too.




Wallet, shopping bag, a small plastic bag, two packets of tissues, second pair of glasses with holder, old store receipt (thrown away now), a few loose tissues, a camera (currently Pentax Optio W10, which I found again and dusted off and threw in the bag as the carry-with camera), two packets of ACC cough medicine drink (left over from winter), small scissors, pen, lip balm, toothpick, Ibuprofen, Orbit drops, keys, one Marianne sweet, one loose Orbit drop, memory stick, a piece of cardboard with phone numbers of main taxi companies in case I'm out and need to call a taxi.

The bag itself can be seen here (Caterpillar backpack, yellow + black). I am not a handbag person and a backpack is useful whether I am carrying my big camera around or whether I need to do grocery shopping.

Tagging... whoever wants to put the contents of their bag on display.

Went out yesterday - visited grandma's grave at the cemetery and took a short walk at Pirita afterwards, from the river to a supermarket and then home. As I had the small Pentax in my bag, there is also some random picspam.

Some chairs outside by a café.



Boat and river reflections on the side of a boat.



The obligatory bumblebee.



Mayweed. I think.



Burdock.



Generic Pirita river view.



Trees in the bus stop.



Bus stop reflections.

It's odd how I don't even remember having the W10 for half a year and then it's summer and lots of light outdoors and I fall in love with that little camera all over again. Of course, the recently announced W60 is even more appealing with its even higher levels of waterproofness and ruggedness and more zoom... argh, must stop desiring more cameras. *slaps self*

Hugs on the writing thing! I was talking about that just a few weeks ago, so I know how you feel. I imagine it will come back. Maybe sign up for something with a deadline?

Great photos! I esp love the Burdock.

With the plot bunnies being gone quite entirely and the block back at full strength, I don't think signing up for anything would be a good idea, really. I don't even want to ask for prompts without strings attached, as when I've done it, I've not got a single idea, not even for a drabble, never mind anything else.

It's rather annoying, as I was half-considering the SSHG exchange, whenever the next round comes up, but now... I rather doubt I would want to sign up!

Thanks. It was a rather lovely day for pics, even with a very short walk.
