#Airfix #Quickbuild #Model
To pass the time during lockdown – i’ve been building
A few planes and Jet Fighters to pass the time
Now, today i’ve made something a little different
Keep your eyes peeled and you may see what rolled up today

View from the top of this very big hill
is breathtaking (literally)
some say its a bit barmy climbing up all that way
to take a picture or admire the view – but
at the end of the day – its worth it (even better with a picnic)
Salford (via Manchester Museum), 20th June 2020
King of the Dinosaurs!
woken up by the sound of a wide brush,
and now sitting proud in a grand hall
towering over us all
while human children look and read,
what he liked, for a feed.
As regular readers of my blog will know, I’ve been shifting things around to accommodate my new bits of aerial artwork, namely my quickbuild planes from airfix
They’re now all happily parked on the top of my bookshelves, so when little paws show up with my sister…they won’t get accidentally broken
However, this has meant the little Disney toys I picked up from the Disney store in Manchester have had to find a new spot to sit.
They’re now sat on a lower bookshelf looking after the books, which they’re sat in front of. This means my nephews can pick them up and play with them as they want, without disturbing any of the squadron.

I’m guessing he got bored of listening to the hum of my TV
I’d cleared up the workspace, and used my desk cleaner – in the shape
of Starwars favourite, R2-D2 to clean up Hex, the laptop i write this blog on.
I headed off downstairs for a spot of dinner – and guess where i found him when i returned…..?
Talking to his chum (my coinbox) on the other side of the room…..
I
Building blocks of different shape and colour
Teach all sorts of useful skill
And its lots of fun when they fall over
II
They might call you a marvel of language
but you’ve got to engage with the locals
if you want to order your lunch
III
Your eye is the best judge
but don’t be disheartened
if that pear looks like a plum
add a peach to the fruitbowl instead
IV
Picking a subject
taking a shot
if you’re not happy with your shot
there’s always the delete button
or perhaps you could edit it at home ?
V
Yellow tennis ball
perfect thing for practicing
reflex actions
catching out in the field
(The red cork ball – saved for match day)

Distance viewing is a pain for me
It’s why i capture images with my camera
Going from place to place grabbing
Images of locations from
The local park to
Artefacts held in the
Local history library
Perhaps you’d put it down to my specs
holding the key to my blurry eyes –
only – it isn’t
the camera is working fine – the computer isn’t – so
on days when i’m headed out on the
green fields of england , you’ll find a pair of glasses
round my head
aiding my eyes to see things a little bit clearer
putting scenes into a picture and
helping me capture a scene
you might all like
#Napowrimo #Photo #Cup #Coffee #tea
What’s that coming out of my cup of chai ?
colorful things rise and fly
up and down and round about
following the trail of the steam spout
far into the air they fly and rise
like colourful luminous butterflies
captured by the camera’s eye
before out of the kitchen they do fly

#Discoverprompt #DiscoverWP #Pairs
Two of everything
Pair of woollen gloves
Pulled over two frosty hands
Perfect on cold winter days
