More from the October Victoria Grid Project

These glass blocks are set into a wall of a building and appear to be a window. The blocks are made of recycled glass. I think they are very decorative. I would think they let extra light into a building also. They are hollow and should be high insulation values. I have often thought that I would like such a feature wall as this on the wall that faces Parmar's house., to let in some light from that side, as well as on the opposite end of the house.

I was playing with the idea of inserting thumbnail photos into these blocks and hot linking them to open large. It would be a fun, but time consuming project. If ever I get the time I will do it for a snall album on my web page:

This is one of the photos that I shot a month ago for the Victoria Grid Project on Flickr. I am not loading any more to the group pool, as it is far too late for October posts.

I was to see Dr. C. yesterday. My blood counts seem to be getting closer to normal. The only really high one was my white cells and that is understandable from this nasty cold I have right now. So, no phobotamy needed this time. I don't need a test again for 6 months. It would be interesting to know just what was causing the alarming high counts. We got a new bed and had the bedroom and ensuite painted. I wonder if the breakdown of the old plastics in the waterbed and the mold on the windows and hard to get at places in the bathroom were the cause. After all of Dr. C's tests we were left with 'allergies' and an 'infection'... none of either conditions I thought I had. Well, its good to have them getting back to normal, although, I really don't feel any different. I am taking extra energy - an over the counter pill. I think it gives me more energy.

I was to Workwear and now have some skookum new gardening boots as well as a new pair of good walking shoes for travel. We won't be doing much travelling until we have this kitchen renovation complete. The re-ordered carpet should be here Dec. 9th and the cabinets on Jan. 16 with installation on the 19.

A lazy day

I am editing and loading my Victoria Grid Project photos on Flickr from October's Grid. In the group they are talking about where to meet to decide the grids for December and January. There are about 3 photos from November posted. Well... its a great idea. I just wish more people would participate. It would help if we had a more dynamic group leader, I think. Actually, my photos are getting no views, so I really don't know why I bother. I guess others who have tried the group get this same treatment.

I really like this crack in the pavement and the upside down mushroom, too.

Not too much happening today. I have been trying to get my flickr group commitments a bit caught up. I made a roast beef and all for dinner, so we had a mini feast tonight. Was very good.

Some October Color

These three photos are from last month when I was out shooting for the Victoria Grid Project group on Flickr. It was a lovely sunny day with the glorious colors of Autumn reflected in the waters of the Colquitz River. I am thinking of having each of these printed, matted and framed for my gallery in my newly painted room when it is finished.

I have a nasty cold so I am wimping around the house. The sun came out this afternoon and it was very tempting to get out with my camera. We have had bits of rain, but not a lot. The colors have been really fine this Fall, so I was happy to get a few photos of them.
