Hee

I may never have cited a webcomic before, but this I had from esmeraldus_neo, and it made me laugh. Which is good enough, on a Saturday morning.

Well, that'll teach me. Maybe...

I had to go to the supermarket this morning. Went out of the house, crossed the road - and stopped, and turned round, and crossed the road again, thinking "oh hey, I could take my camera!" And reached the door and stopped again, thinking, "oh, but I'm supposed to be thinking about the book, plotting what happens next; and if I take the camera I'll be thinking about pictures instead; and besides, I've taken the camera that way once already, and it's awkward with the camera-bag and the shopping-bag, and..."

So I didn't. I turned and crossed the road one more time, empty-handed. And went into Birdcage Walk, and lo: the light was all soft and pearlescent, and it was entirely cool and quiet and cathedral-like under the high arches of the trees, and I really really wished I had my camera.

And then there was a little leaf caught on a fence that I wanted to photograph, and great marshy puddles because it's been raining all night, and and and...

And by the time I was coming home the sun was out and the light was all hard-edged, and I didn't see anything at all I wanted to photograph.

Hrumph. I guess I should be taking it everywhere just in case, but it is a little awkward as per current arrangement of bags. Perhaps I need (another!) new bag, that can carry both camera and shopping, or camera and laptop and book...?
