lawn mower

it's really interesting having a different bit of memory back. there is someone mowing the lawn out the back and the sound took me right back to being at junior school and sitting listening to that sound rather than getting on with my work. a few weeks later my parents got my eyes tested, found i needed glasses and i then found it easier to concentrate in class. it's a happy memory. i associate it with tennis courts too cos my dad was lawn tennis champion in our county (lincs) for many years so i spent a lot of time investigating piles of grass clippings and playing behind the old wooden clubhouse. tho i cant remember someone mowing the grass the sound is such a strong reminder i think it must have been there most of the time. i do remember getting told off by various groundsmen for messing up their grass clippings pile. it was hot in the middle so we'd poke sticks in in the hope of setting them alight, lol

on sunday the light was so lovely for the dog walk by the river bank i took some pics, then played around with the photoscape thing that joanna installed on my computer to cut them about and frame them. the purple one is what happens when i clicked on the thing to make it a negative. at least i know the original photos are safe so i can play about without risking to destroy them so i tried out all the buttons.
