It been one week of one armed action since i smashed up my collarbone and I can tell you if not easy trying to slice bread when you running at 50% armage.

The first nightmare I’ve had with my injure has been the crazy amounts of pain killers I’ve had to take.  My four hourly drug intake has been Paracetamol, Codeine Phosphate and Ibuprofen.  When your the kind of person that rarely takes pills even if you have a headache; then switch to taking six ever four hours can start to make you feel like there is something very wrong with you.  To top if all off if wasn’t even putting a dint into the pain erupting out of my arm and shoulder every time I moved,  so it was back to the doctors.  What the doctor came up with was a replacement for the Ibuprofen with some lush “shit” colored Diclofenac pills.  Pain had gone.. which was nice, apart from the chronically bad stomach pains. So a quick switch back to no stomach pain and continued shoulder and arm pain.

What a day!

It was back to work today with a bang.  Nothing but complaints all day, don’t get me wrong I can handle dealing with screamers, if fact they are my favourite customers; but when your trying a catch up on what’s changed while you’ve been off work, you just want them to hold off for one day.   That said got through it and its onwards tomorrow.
The flat viewing also continued today and I’m pleased to say Em and me have found a new flat.  Woo Hoo!
The second best ting about today however has to be the lush pancake my girl made with my flat mates supplies of Jam, Lemon, Sugar, Ice-cream and Golden Syrup.

He is my Ice-cream and Golden Syrup mix… LUSH.

I feel like I’m turning into an advert for Diet Cherry Coke at the minute this is my third photo of the drink since I started Beverage 365. Maybe I should just go all out and get a different sponsor each week…

Any takers?

Had myself a quick solo photo walk into Newcastle early this morning and ended up at the millennium bridge again.    I have to say I love the Newcastle/Gateshead Quayside but sometimes I just end up down there because I just can’t think of anywhere else to go.  I pointed this out on Twitter when @brianbge reminded me “@SMLP Don’t take it for granted. We’re so lucky it’s on our doorstep”.  He’s right I should make more use of such a picturesque location.

After a bit of a chain wag with a fellow photographer about Microglobe for great prices on lenses it was off to collect some stuff from storage in town.

Em’s back to work tomorrow and my last day off tomorrow; so it’s chill out tonight then on with the house hunt tomorrow and maybe some more photo action.
