Yesterday I took part in my very first Photo an Hour. The basic premise is very simple. Once a month you take a photo an hour during your day and post this up on social media with the hashtag #photoaday. It means that you can check what other people are up to and is an interesting way to document a normal, or perhaps, a special day.
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might remember that for 3 years I used to take a photo a day. I still get notifications on Facebook of what I was doing on this day 3 years ago. For a photo a day, you have to get creative because it is not always easy, especially with having a nine-to-five job, and the photos get a bit repetitive.
With photo a day, I must say that my day was a lot more productive than it was the previous Saturday. Last week, I was so tired and a bit ill from all the overtime that I have been doing at work, that I mainly sat in front of the TV, like a zombie all day. I certainly couldn’t post a photo every hour with me in a different position on the sofa.
So here is what I got up to on Saturday 16th December:
8am: Good Morning! Tea and Toast time!
9am: Time to confirm what the neighbours always suspected: I am both a borderline alcoholic and a very tardy recycler
10am: Shopping for Christmas wrapping paper and sparkly things
11am: UK Tax return time
12pm: Writing a few posts for my blog
1pm: As we won’t be having a Christmas tree this year, I’ve bought a poinsettia to make the place look a bit more Christmassy
2pm: After not feeling well all week, I am trying to get back into my training programme
3pm: Helping Santa by wrapping up presents for some special little people
4pm: I have finally got round to tidying all my German exercise books off the dining room table
5pm: I’m about to venture out in the cold and dark
6pm: Christmas Tree shopping (see 1pm, the tree wasn’t for me!)
7pm: Fonduestube
8pm: We are still going
9pm: On the way home
10pm: Full of cheese, exhausted and climbing into bed with this one. Night all!
I spy snow!!
