Photo a day 2012 (30/366) - harbour at night


Photo taken out the living room window.  Believe it or not there is a ship leaving the harbour.  Thanks to the block of flats you can make out on the right of the picture, we lost our view :(

Photo a day 2012 (29/366) - tookay


Photo taken in my bedroom.  Couldn't really be bothered today, so have another bass.  Specifically a G&L Tribute L-2000.

Photo a day 2012 (28/366) - stella colada


Photo taken at The Office.  My friend Robert taking some good natured pint customisation in good spirits :)

Photo a day 2012 (27/366) - "DO NOT EAT"


Photo taken at work.  With new toys comes ... silica gel packets!  I've always wondered why the sage advice not to ingest the contents is always in quotation marks.  Maybe it is a quotable quote.

Photo a day 2012 (26/366) - bye bye QML


Photo taken outside Queen Mother Library, University of Aberdeen.  Judging by the fencing off and the Lawrie Demolition sign, I would say that it looks like time has been called on the old library.  The new library looms above the doomed building.

Photo a day 2012 (25/366) - if you value your leg, you'll feed me


Photo taken in my living room.  Chico is showing me how pleased he is to see me when I come home from work.  Or maybe he's letting me know what he thinks of my faffing around with a camera when I should be sorting out his dinner.

Photo a day 2012 (24/366) - 1981 Guild B402-A


Photo taken in my bedroom.  In the first of a series of gratuitous bass photos (yes, run out of inspiration already, eh?), this is a 1981 Guild B402-A.  One of only 335 made, which makes it the rarest of all my basses.

Photo a day 2012 (23/366) - tools of the trade


Photo taken in my living room.  Not feeling very inspired today.  These were lying around so I thought I'd line 'em up.  Yup, I'm a geek who plays games using dice other than six-sided.

Photo a day 2012 (22/366) - anti-perspirant aftermath


Photo taken in my bedroom.  I loved the sun shining through the window today, there was this amazing shaft of light with swirly patterns caused by the anti-perspirant in the air.  I wonder how much of the stuff actually lands on one's armpits.

Photo a day 2012 (21/366) - Nepalese nosh


Photo taken in my living room.  A tasty dish from the Gurkha Chef :)

Photo a day 2012 (20/366) - phone charger graveyard


Photo taken at home.  Hoarding at its worst - something like 8 chargers for phones that we don't even have any more.  Bye bye!

Photo a day 2012 (19/366) - your presence is tolerated


Photo taken in my house.  This is my cat, Chico - pre-feeding.  He appears to be not very impressed with my repeated attempts to photograph him.  Well, if you'd stop moving around for a few seconds then we wouldn't have these problems, would we? :)

Photo a day 2012 (18/366) - new bed


Photo taken in my bedroom.  Took most of this evening but we have a new bed now.  Another part of the home made ours.

Photo a day 2012 (17/366) - tea == hope


Photo taken in my living room.  One of my wife's highly stylish cushions.  Just learned today that the shop she bought it from has closed down.  Maybe the hope travels with the cushion.

Photo a day 2012 (16/366) - the new university library


Photo taken at the New Library, University of Aberdeen.  I'm not keen on it, but it makes for a pretty dramatic picture.

Photo a day 2012 (15/366) - ball of fur


Photo taken in my living room.  Central heating for your lap.

Photo a day 2012 (14/366) - nature slowly gaining upper hand


Photo taken on Palmerston Road, Aberdeen.  Right next to the relatively new and swish Union Square shopping centre you have this, it's another world.  I hope that in time this area will be redeveloped and used once again.

Photo a day 2012 (13/366) - sky on fire


Photo taken in Old Aberdeen.  Lovely sunset tonight.

Photo a day 2012 (12/366) - galileo!


Photo taken in my living room.  I really like Galileo thermometers, but Wikipedia informs me that they are technically thermoscopes, not thermometers.  Of course, Wikipedia does not help further enlightenment because thermoscope redirects to, guess what?  That's right - Galileo thermometer ;)

Photo a day 2012 (11/366) - sniffer cat


Photo taken in my living room.  Chico would really like to know what's in the box, or more accurately he would like the contents of said box removed so he can make a fort/bed out of it.
