Are you sitting comfortabley? - Then I'll begin:

I had to take a trip to the local glaziers this afternoon to drop off a catflap to be fitted to a pane of glass so that our beloved cat, Smudge, can have the freedom to come and go as she pleases without making a lot of noise first thing in the morning to be let out. It took me half an hour to make the 5 minute trip due to me getting lost (that's another story all together). Suffice to say that I lay the blame fairly and squarely on my girlfriend's brilliantly vague directions.

Once I'd dropped off the catflap, I walked out out of the glaziers workshop and was aware of bright flashing lights coming from the ajoining buiding. I looked inside and there was a young man welding a large sheet of mesh to some framework or other whilst singing loudly to the radio. I immediately thought of today's PAD and new I had to ask permission to take his photograph.

I'd never asked anyone if they'd mind me taking their photograph before but thought to myself that I'd better get used to it if I want to take interesting photographs. Once asked he was only too happy to be photographed and seemed pleased with the result when I showed him the shot on the screen of my camera. I only had chance to take 2 shots as in that time he'd finished that job.
