A photo not quite every day.

So, that was a bit of a failure. I managed eight pictures in a row and then it all went pear-shaped.

Four bad pictures on day 9 and marking hell.

Day 10: First day back at school and the beginnings of a stomach bug. Some more attempts at marking in the afternoon.

Day 11: See above re: stomach bug. I stayed home.

Day 12: Back to school where I stayed until late.

Coupled with that, the weather has been terrible and I'm not good at setting up still lifes which becomes even more difficult when there is a tiny kid around who loves to play with stuff.

I'm not stopping taking and posting pictures, I just don't know how daily they'll be. I'm aiming for every day, but there are bound to be gaps. (Which I knew beforehand, but I thought they wouldn't come so early.)

Hallway Art.

Left behind by the last tenant (or so I was told):

Bare trees in the rain.

Here the rain is merely annoying and to some even a lot of fun - as witnessed during playground lunch duty when teenagers jumped around in the huge and deep puddle that has formed during the last days.

Patterns.

Instruction from Figure of Parental Authority.

Response: I know. I was going to do it. Already on my to-do list.

Figure of Parental Authority: If I could trust you do these things without me telling you, I wouldn't have had to say anything.

Teenage Response: Now I'm not doing it.

Growing up means not taking the bait.
