Suits You Sir

I'm now in the process of updating the blog, so over the next few days things may seem to be going a bit askew. Fear not though, its in hand. Had to go in to town lunchtime to look for a suit as I'm going to the BAFTA Cymru Awards in a couple of weeks for my small part in helping with the images for the Painting Flowers Site, which has been nominated for an award.

Should be interesting given my distaste for these things, but the thought of a night on the (free) pop was enough to persuade me to go. I can always behave mischiefly if the Taffia lovies start winding me up (as they will).

As a consequence, I need a suit. Let me set one thing straight here. I hate suits. Not just have a distaste for them, but true hatred, in the utterly pathologoical sense. My current suit is now aging and I'm a size or two bigger since buying it to get wed all them years ago. So the hunt is on for a new one. As cheap as possible. Found a contender, but they (typically) didn't have my size. Touch wood they'll get it in soon as I can't bare the thought of parting with good money on such a shit item of clothing.

Anyway, as I said before rambling off - I went into town lunchtime to look for one. Got a couple of shots by St David's Hall of the nice skies and light, thought I'd share them with you as well as a handsome snap of Elis enjoying me headphones this morning.

I share your enthusiasm for suits. Had to wear one up until 5 years ago when I worked in an office and never worn since - apart from the proverbial weddings and funerals. At least there's a Moss Bros in the Hayes.

Great photos. Did you get any funny looks when you were photographing the sky? :); 9:53 AM
