• We left off yesterday with BD being knocked out and placed in the truck of the Mean Mob. Its just not BD’s day!

    I wont keep you in suspense any longer. The conclusion –

    _DSC7152 _DSC7153 _DSC7154 _DSC7155 _DSC7156 _DSC7157 _DSC7158 _DSC7159The END!

    Afterthoughts (as in decades later!)

    1.Clearly as a child my spelling was worse than it is now. On the positive side, I can see that I produced the story all by myself, without any assistance from parents.
    2.How typical an ending is that! – for flips sake, I didn’t even draw a final picture! I think a modern day adaptation might just have a little more content to it – you know, like the multiple endings Lord of the Rings had!
    3.Did you notice BD had a mobile phone!?! – they weren’t overly mainstream when I wrote this – only big wigs and flashy car sales men had them at the time of writing this. No idea where I would have got the idea that BD would have one.
    4.BD’s an unusual name. I suspect it was the initials of of of my friends turned around. Originality.

    If nothing else, I hope thats given you a laugh, or wasted enough time before you needed to attend to something.
    Back to actual Photos tomorrow!

  • _DSC7142A bit of a diversion from my usual photos, I was doing a rather brutal clean up of old boxes that have not been touched for many years and came across a short story/film script (?) I must have written when I was approximately 8 years old.

    Apologies for those of you who visit for images – today and tomorrow, although ‘technically’ photo’s, have been dedicated to telling this action packed (yet very flawed) story that will likely never otherwise be seen…(not necessarily a bad thing)

    So without further ado, I present ‘BD’, a action story by the once young Michael Hawkey

    Exciting! time for a break with the heart stopping conclusion tomorrow!

  • O2C9Dropping a car off for work we sold today, I took a 2 hour ‘stroll’ to get my ride home. Aside from some rain, it was great taking ones time through a industrial – suburban – park area I don’t visit so often. Really quite different to my local area.
