Great Weekend

 

Had a wonderful weekend, although it didn’t look as though it was going to be…

Friday, after a poor night’s sleep, I finally awoke a 1:30PM, I don’t remember doing that since I was a teenager, so having wasted half the day I went out with my camera. Unfortunately, inspiration did not strike me and the few pictures I took I deleted when I got home as they were pretty poor.

Saturday; I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this but I’m a Man Utd fan, and today marked the poorest start to a premiership season, thankfully, I can remember the 70’s and 80’s when they were even worse, so I’m still happy that they’ll never be that bad again….(Crosses fingers)

Sunday; went to a bird sanctuary in Bedfordshire with Steve Magennis, a wonderful wildlife photographer where i and several others spent a wonderful, sun-filled day, taking pictures of 5 of their birds.

Arthur the Long Eared Owl A Red Kite, a Kestrel, 2 Goshawks and a Long-eared Owl. The day was over in no time and I’d filled 3 memory cards (1920 images), the editing is now on-going lol.

I have to say, I slept like a sleepy thing that’s very tired that night, waking only when my alarm chimed the morning in at 6:00 (I had a sneaky extra 30 minutes after that too).

Of course, all good things come to an end etc, and back to the day job yesterday and a rotten night’s sleep last night, oh well.

I’m starting to wonder, after a good start if my Alpha Stim is helping at all, I think I’ll give it until this weekend and then call them and see if they recommend anything.
