Here's my week 32 (of 52) monochrome photograph:

I personally don't like the distracting leaf in the top right hand corner (or the slightly messy background just to the left of the flower).

It's a hydrangea flower, by the way.

Very nice

Without the leaf and background the flower would appear to be floating in limbo. Those two things provide context.

Are you complaining that winter was too short or bragging about your tropical staycation?

Move to Ireland, buddy.

There are times when we literally get four seasons of weather all in the space of a single day!

Lol not sure about the spider hunt, they seem to be staying outside for the moment 

It’s a nice day here 28 so far but it might get to 31 this afternoon.

I have a bit of work to do getting stuff for my sisters 50th birthday later this month and OMG Christmas is just around the corner

[Bucket1]

If anyone can remember where I stored the box of craft stuff I need to finish some presents, I would be grateful if you let me know 

No, it’s not where it’s supposed to be...

Yes, I did do more than a boy-look...

It's a little known fact outside Ireland just how many places along the Atlantic west coast of Ireland are great surfing spots, with waves to rival those in almost any other part of the world. I suppose part of the reason for that is because most people equate surfing with long, hot, sunny days - which can be few and far between here in the Ireland.

Although maybe a little slow in getting to the amazing action shots (this is Ireland, after all: the Land of Time Enough) the following video, Four Seasons in One Day, is flagged as "the first in a series of surfs edits documenting the journey of a group of cold water surfers in their quest to surf perfect waves in the ever changing, totally unpredictable but ultimately rewarding Irish Winter." (I haven't managed to find any subsequent edits.)

It's not where it should be because you left it somewhere else ... and if you were looking for boys it's no wonder you didn't find your craft box.

Oh, I'm sure Cian wouldn't mind you coming over and kilting him, bro...

After all, I'm fairly sure that was Cian who could be heard in the background at around 2min 13sec in talking in a somewhat suggestive voice about having "Good craic with the boys" ('craic' [sometimes Anglicised to 'crack'] is a word used in Ireland to indicate a fun time).

But as for persuading him to leave the western shore of Ireland to join your herd, bro...

I doubt you'll be successful there, but I wish you every good luck trying.
