My Car Saga and the Cane Light Shades

My car is being repaired and I have been told at no cost to me – but it will take a few weeks.  I am unhappy about the timing  – but happy that I should have wheels again.

As I have said before, I live alone, with no spare car and limited family assistance, though I have had some.  I am reliant on buses, trains, and taxi’s.  Or should I use an Uber?

I have used a taxi – and twice yesterday, as I went out to lunch with friends – and none of them live in my direction

I’m coping but a little frustrated.

Photography and Me

One of my hobbies is photography – and I occasionally grab my camera and drive somewhere to see if I can find some good shots.  Without a car I am limited, but I was pretty chuffed to get a good photo yesterday – when out with the girls for lunch.

I arrived early at the restaurant, as I usually do, always an “earlybird” – it was a venue I have been to on many occasions, and I have no idea whether this lovely lighting was there in previous visits.  Do I look up at the ceiling often?  No.  But while waiting for my friends to turn up, my eyes wandered upwards, and I soon grabbed my phone (had not taken my other camera) and took this photo.

I didn’t count them, but there would be around 25 cane light decorations.  It was in the middle of the day and no need for lighting, but the staff member switched them on, and they looked wonderful.  I supposed they would be called cane light shades, or something like that – with many designs.

Surprise Photo

I was thrilled when I saw the photo on my laptop, when I returned home – it is quite an amazing shot (if I do say so myself), just one of those days when you find something that you were not expecting.

Next time though, I may arrive with my Olympus Camera.

What do you think of the photo?
