It's a pity I haven't got a decent camera as I know exactly what I'd focus on in this picture, my business card, but as I don't.....just try to imagine what I mean

Week 6.
I went to London for the day yesterday to Capcom's HQ to play Resident Evil 5 a month before release and interview their head of PR on the game. While there, I got a freebie Resident Evil 5 bag and I met Aceybongos, the community manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa for xbox.com as well as got the crucial interview of course

Brilliant experience. Hopefully it'll be repeated at some point too as I like to think I'm doing everything possible to make a career out of this.
Of course that meant I spent much of last night and all of today writing up the article which I've just finished. I'm knackered now!

Flickr group meeting at a secret location to dicuss somethings on our mind. It seems to be going well and hopefully we'll make something big and fun.

Finally got this star trail shot. It could be better with a fully clear night though. This took around 60 30 second exposures at f/8 ISO500 and it was stacked with a fancy bit of software from www.startrails.de. Much better than a very long exposure.

Organised by @m8nd1 on Twitter. For those who say that Twitter is just people saying they had waffles for breakfast this is for you. In less than a month this event was organised. 3 bands, 1 venue, donations, raffles, food n drink and most of all real people who all turned out to support charity:water. No-one told me what they had for breakfast.

Barnston. I took a walk through Barnston on my 10,000 steps walk and I noticed something. I've lived in Thingwall and driven down this road so many times over 20 years but its only by walking down it that I realised where I was. You can't see it that well in this shot but at the back of the fields is a road with houses. I've driven down that road too so many times. I've seen these fields from both roads but never realised they were the same fields. I never realised the geography of this area till I walked it. I've cycled it too but to really know an area you have to walk it.

No matter how far I walk I can't walk away from myself.

you are absolutely right Pete, since I started walking Sally locally, I actually understand how the village I live in 'joins up'. I've driven past so many places without realising how they were linked to where I live, or quicker ways to get there. Really opens up your consciousness of your geographical position when you walk around it

Edit: Ooops I forgot Friday:

130209 : Heart of Glass

With Valentine's Day looming, I wore one of my favourite piece of jewellery. Bought in a little jewellery shop just outside the Trevi Fountain in Rome, this is murano glass and I love it dearly.

140209 : The Love Bug

So were you bitten??

150209 : Brownies

We made Valentine's supper for my Mum and Gran last night. Him indoors made Chicken wrapped in parma ham and stuffed with marscapone, along with herby roast potatoes and creamed leeks. Oh and 'posh' mushrooms on toast to start

I was in charge of dessert, so we had brownies, baked from a Jamie Oliver recipe and with rolos pushed into the top layer as soon as it comes out of the oven, so it sets hard and leaves an extra toffeeish layer at the head of the brownie. Served straight from the oven with double cream/ice cream, this went down a treat. It serves about 10, so there's plenty left it anyone wants any??
