And I managed to miss most of it, and for that, I am most upset. I've been waiting on some decent snow all winter, and only now in March do we finally see anything worth calling a snowfall.
Of course, I'm still off work ill due to not being quite recovered from my recent tonsilitis just yet, so I wouldn't have got much enjoyment from wandering around in the freezing cold anyway.
My friend Sara caught this really nice image of the Kelvingrove bandstand, at some horrible early hour of the morning when I was all nicely wrapped up in bed feeling sorry for myself - rather her than me, but I guess her getting the image kinda paid off in the end.
I can't wait to be back fit and able to get out and take pictures again, I'm getting serious cabin fever in here!

Winner
I think this will be the image I send in as my entry for the Guardian competition, despite it not even making my initial shortlist.
This photo was taken in the morning at my sister's flat in Dundee - I was awake but everyone else was asleep, so I took these photos. This is my sister's boyfriend Jamie's nice mac laptop. I try to carry my lego men in my bag everywhere I go these days, because you just never know when you're gonna have some time to kill, and a good photo opportunity!

Technology
As I end up doing every week, I've looked in the Guardian's Weekend section to see what the photo competition for the week is. Every week, on the last page of the Weekend supplement, they give out a single word, as a theme for a photographic competition, and show the results from the word given out two weeks previously. The deadline is very short - the word is announced on Saturday, and the competition closes on Tuesday at noon, so although there's not usually enough time to fit in a new photo, there's usually enough time for a quick trawl of my archive on my flickr page. As you may have ascertained from the title, this week's theme is Technology - and I think I have a couple of potential entries on this theme.
Here are a couple I'm thinking of posting in:
Viewer - My flatmate's lovely old TV, viewed through my lovely old Seagull TLR Camera.
Overview - Work colleague Angela taking a picture with her phone from the top of BT Tower, London
1-2-4-5-7-8-*-0 - Dust and cobwebs cover this phone box in Bentpath, Dumfriesshire, largely outdated now by the widespread use of mobile phones
Tagged - Old-fashioned MDF Block at Colintraive Telephone Exchange, Argyll.
