So this is just gunna be a quick one. I woke up this morning just before my alarm went off and thought, well there is no point going back to sleep to be woken up 5 minutes later, so I got up. I did my normal routine of getting ready sticking on the kettle, making my lunch and making breakfast for me and my partner. A very normal day for us.

I dropped my partner at work and headed off to my brothers thinking I’m going to have a great day today, this morning has gone so smoothly. As I was approaching my brothers I saw my sister in-law with my nephews taking them to school, I waved and shouted MORNING out of the open car window. I finally reached my brothers and realised he wasn’t there. So I rang him. He said that he thought we had came to the conclusion that I wouldn’t work with him today and work with him for the rest of the week. So there was miscommunication along the line somewhere. But that was fine I thought and I rang this customer that I do a lot of work for when my brother can’t give me work. To my surprise they had nothing for me to do for the day, which was no big deal. I was a little bit frustrated because I wanted to work as I like money.

So I head back home thinking of all the things I good do today. Now I like photography and any chance I can get at the moment I am out with the camera. I also like cycling. I thought why not combine those two things and go on a ride today and ill stop at different points when I think its a good place to take some photos. So I did just that. Everything was going to plan, I knew it might rain so I had my waterproofs, I had my camera, I was listening to a podcast and I also had my lunch that I had prepared that morning. I stopped a couple of times to take photos, I was getting some exercise, everything was great. Then I got to this wonderfully vast country scene. I was on this gravel track with a post and wire fence running along side it that bordered a large field on a hill, with a old white thatched house in the distance. I saw this and thought that would be a great shot. So I got all set up and the memory card adapter in camera was locked so I took it out unlocked it and put it back in and again it was still locked, I had been having troubles with this yesterday and it just needed a steady hand and a bit of playing around. So I was playing around with the little lock switch and it snapped off the memory card adapter. I was not happy. I tried putting it back in the camera but it just wouldn’t work. So I lost the opportunity to take a great photo and to have a nice day. 

I then thought there is a camera shop in town ill see if they have a spare adapter so I went there. I got to the shop and was looking around to see if there was anywhere to put my bike, there wasn’t much option. There was a man there cleaning the windows of the camera shop and could see me looking around, I went to see if it was a good idea to lean it up against the window of the shop next to the camera shop and the window cleaner went ballistic. Please bare in mind just as I did it thought no this isn’t a good idea I might scratch their window, and was about to find somewhere else. But no this guy was pissed, he decided to have ago at me saying that all you people do this and you ruin peoples windows and I explained to him that I knew it wasn’t a good idea and I was gunna move. But still he carried on. So I told that the camera shop that he was cleaning the windows of has now lost a customer and I walked off.

So not only have I lost a nice photo and a lovely day, I also had a random window clean have ago at me for something that everyone else does and I was about to not do. Today has been a shitter. 

Ill write again tomorrow hope you are having a good day
