Saturday Social #52

Today's Saturday Social Question:

What anniversaries do you celebrate?

We celebrate our wedding anniversary with an actual dinner or some kind of special outing. Other anniversaries such as when we met, when we got engaged etc we acknowledge.

Saturday Six

Are you worried about Swine Flu (H1N1 influenza)?
Only a little, the common flu kills tens of thousands of people a year.

Do you think it is as bad as the press make out?
Not really, but I think they are trying to warm people. But I think its causing unnecessary panic.

Coughs, colds and flu like symptoms are usually around this time of year, do you think people will panic more now if they get the
“common” cold?
Yes, I know people that have panicked because they thought they had the swine flu.

Do you think Swine Flu is a natural decease or man made?
I am sure its just another strain of the flu that is natural.

How long do you think it will be before a “cure” is found for the “common” cold?
They probably already have one!

Has your reaction changed to someone who is sneezing, coughing or sniffing next to you since the news of Swine Flu?
I havn't been around anyone like that since the outbreak.

Photohunt - Walking


This is one of my favourite photographs I have taken. We were taking our new puppy for a walk and I was testing out my new 50mm lens and was just snapping away at everything. I got this shot of my son walking in front of me while he was talking to the dog.

I really like it.
