Noticed today that the driver and passenger side mats and floor were soaked. I'm putting it down to the Windshield cover I got a few weeks ago to combat the ice in a morning. It has two little flaps at each side that you put in the car and close the door on to keep it in place. Think it might of given enough of a gap in the door seal to let water ingress occur Will vacuum it all dry and stop using the cover. If it still carries on looks like I've got some detective work to do windshield cover ..you tart , scrape your screen or you scared of snapping one of your nails. 1 Quote

Tiggie Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 @Six30 it was more about stopping the inside of the windshield freezing over! Got sick of doing it every day Quote
Tiggie Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 As an update I've just had a crap morning vacuuming water out of the car. All car mats and floor were frozen solid!! I had to get the heat gun out and defrost it all first Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 My son is cooking the Sunday lunch today and I have just left the kitchen, I wonder when or if we’ll be eating Lockdown has reduced my level of functioning to the extent I’m actually excited about whether or not lunch will appear 1 Quote

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 He’s 18. It was very good. Lamb shanks in a red wine sauce (cooked as M&S intended), mashed swede, rosti potatoes and a creamed spinach thing which tasted like he put liquid smoke in it (yuk) but he’s say not, rosemary jelly or mint sauce. All hot, nothing cremated, he even lit the food warmers so it all stayed warm for second helpings. Ive made pud and watched tv, been a hard day 3 Quote
Tiggie Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I forgot to share this earlier last week but as its children and food related I will do now. My youngest daughter is 12, nearly 13. I was going back to work after my break at 3pm and said to her "Your Mum is back at around 7, if you want you can have my Pizza thats in the freezer for tea" Her response was " I am making shepherds pie and yorkshire puddings for tea,should be enough left for Mum too" I'll keep my bloody pizza for myself then!! 1 4 Quote

If you can get yourself an ID card as a freelance photographer who are classed as essential workers might help with any uncertainty Good luck with the venture This is true but be wary of over zealous law enforcement. It would be hard to prove on the spot what you are doing is business related depending on the location and subject, weddings are pretty much self explanetary, but how would you explain for example taking photos of people in a park, just something to watch out for. Thanks, and good luck to you too. It’s essentially going to be a headshot business (with some portrait photography for good measure). I have a new page already written for my existing website but it’s presently hidden, and will stay that way until I’ve uploaded the stock images that I need (and that’s the crux of the issue). What are you going to be up to? Edited January 25, 2021 by learningtofly 1 Quote
NeilM Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Morning. Bit nippy here. Off shift for a couple of days. But being a good husband I've de iced Lisa's car for her. And got the washing in machine. Highlight of the day will be ironing said washing .... Quote

What are you going to be up to? Thanks LTF good luck with yours, have you any experience with headshot photography, it's not as easy as it sounds is it. Make sure you have plenty of lighting, what colour backgrounds have you got as I have found light to medium greys and blues tend to get better results, and are a bit more forgiving with shadows as they seem to blend in better. Have you anyone to do makeup for you, if not try and find someone as they are always handy to have around, or if you feel confident enough you could DIY, but get some basic tuition as even that is a minefield nowadays. I myself will be concentrating on the modelling side, as I have the time now to devote to it, although I will still do weddings and potraits whenever I get asked. There's not much difference between what we are both doing, if you get stuck on anything or you want someone to critique, let us know i would be happy to help where i can. All the best 1 Quote
