High achiever

24 September 2005

There’s something mighty satisfying about having a reasonably good hair day, wearing good clothes and having an expensive camera slung round your neck when you come face to face with someone from your past. After all, nothing says high achiever better than a Nikon D50 ;)

I’d gone for a walk, taking my camera with me, and came across a wedding at St Thomas a Becket church. That said, I didn’t actually see a bride, but I thought cars decked out with ribbons and women in hats was a fair indication of nuptials. Having taken my pictures of the view from the Glebe, I came out towards the lane just as the guests were heading towards their cars. Having first seen and greeted the secretary from my primary school, I then saw Mrs Rowell (headmistress of Weald)! We said hello and I gave her the concise version of what I’m doing nowadays: self-employed – web design – big Austrian. Mrs R admired my camera and off I went on my merry way.

I took 177 photos today, which nearly filled my 512mb card. It’s clear that I shall be putting SD cards on my birthday/Christmas list, cause I’m planning on taking mega-millions of photos on the Galapagos trip. I must also teach Suzy how to use my camera, otherwise there isn’t going to be any proof of my presence on this trip!
