July 30th

Squelchikins' last day with Emblemax as a full time member of staff. He chose a FO chocolate cake which was completely and utterly sumptuous. We shall see him occasionally as he'll be working behind the scenes but I shall miss my buddy :(

July 29th

Looking through my magnifying loupe at work. Usually used for checking halftones...

July 28th

Kids playing in the fountain at our local cinema in Fairfax.

July 27th

Me and Robin at our local juicer.

July 26th

A bunny on my patio.

July 25th

One of Jim and Jessie's cows. Jasmine, I think.

July 24th

Some tool thingies (wrenches?) in Rob's barn.

July 23rd

Kota Kat being the purrfect passenger on the way down to Rob's.

July 22nd

Banana peppers on my patio. I guess they're ready for pickin'!

July 21st

I had to make up 40 of these awards today which I always dread doing as I have to get it right first time every time when placing the medals onto the awards. I was happy to get this job completed.

July 20th

Same perspective as yesterday but different vehicles. A truck stop at Opal on Rte 15.

July 19th

The local post office trucks just before sun down.

July 18th

A photo that Jeff took of me in the pub before we went exploring.

July 17th

After reading about Quackster and realizing my fondness for little yellow ducks, Rob found these chaps and took them home for me. He then set them up in party mode before sending me this photo. Aaaawww, ain't he cute?

July 16th

Jessy looking thoughtful and cute at lunch.

July 15th

A polaroid effect of my lounge.

July 14th

My water bottle reflected on my desk.

July 13th

The Lukester for some inexplicable reason trying to put a cookie bag on his foot while we watched Dad play Wii.

July 12th

Squelchikins and I went to Costco for lunch and saw this poor guy having to suffer the indignity of wearing a hair net over his beard. To top it off, he also had a name badge with 'Dough Boy' on it. We decided that we should hang out with him after work as his private life must be totally awesome to compensate for his sucky job.

July 11th

Stonewall Jackson at Manassas Battlefields.

July 10th

Chocklit cake for Scott's birthday. Yum!

July 9th

Declan hanging on to Rob while brandishing his light up sword at Louisa fair.

July 8th

It's all about teamwork at Emblemax.
Another stellar image from the iPhone. Melissa, I'm using the 3G not the S, like yours. The 3G camera is barely a step up from a homemade pinhole camera using a matchbox and tinfoil. It's poo.

July 7th

The Harley Davidson store in Fairfax. Nothing I'd like in there, but I was shopping for a dear friend's birthday.

July 6th

Girls' night out at the Shade Tree. Left to right, Robin, Me, Erika & Joyce.

July 5th

The penultimate photo taken on the G10 before it died after being submerged in water. I'd hoped it might come back to life but after close inspection of this photo, I think the processor has bitten the dust. Bugger!

July 4th

Scary truck again, this time further down the road.

July 3rd

One of the abundant lillies on Lake Gordonsville where I kayaked.

July 2nd

Heron modeling a 5XL shirt that we printed today. It comes with free tent poles and a groundsheet.

July 1st

My friend Debbie brought these napkins back from England for me. I can't believe how realistic they are. Don't think I'll be wiping my fingers on them but I might try and spend them...
