The Joy of Flex

Wow, it’s been a while. Over two years in fact! One of my new years’ resolutions was to write more. Or in fact, at all. So here I am. Miss me?

Today I was on my flexi day. I love the concept of flexible working hours. Where I work at the moment, we work an extra half hour a day and get every third Friday off. Yea! So today I went to the Natural History Museum and saw the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. It was awesome. You should go see it. It totally inspires you to want to get a Canon and go out crawling around fields and mountains lying in wait for a snow leopard to wander past and flare it’s nostrils at you, just as you squeeze down on the shutter. I went last year and felt the same way, but have somehow managed not to become a National Geo snapper just yet. Maybe this year.

(Speaking of inspiring photographers – go to montmartephotoblog.org – this girl is amazing.)

Then after I’d had all the polar bears and ospreys I could handle, I wandered back through Kensington and picked up some bargains at the sales. How bout those sales huh? I reckon we are just going to be in a constant state of sales all year. Pretty soon they will be paying us to take the stock away.

God, Iggy Pop selling car insurance is so depressing. Even though they tried to make it an anti-ad ad, he’s still selling goddamn insurance. Why Iggy, why? He truly has become a stooge ☹ What next, Patti Smith selling hair removal cream?
