Getting wet

This morning when we went to church it was raining and me and Mac got soaked. It was quite cold and windy as well. Really I should've worn a longer coat e.g. my Soviet coat and a hat e.g. a Ushanka. When we came back home there was a massive puddle on the junction between Welland Park Road and Northampton road, and cars were going through it splashing water everywhere. I thought it would be funny if someone emptied a bottle of washing up liquid into the puddle, then each time a car went through it it would get frothier and frothier. The cars would get washed with soapy dirty water as well as a bonus.

After dinner I started processing/sorting some pics. Then I watched 'The Proposition' with Mac.

After tea I finished sorting the pics and uploaded the same stock pics I applied to istock/stockxpert with to fotolia. Fotolia is a bit different in that you don't have to upload some pics for them to check before you are accepted - you can just upload straight away. Their upload system is a bit weird though, it seems to fill the title of picture with the description information from the image's IPTC data. Then when you submit the photo it will tell you that you need to fill in your full name, even though there's no field for your name anywhere. What the problem actually is, is that your title is too long since it's actually the description. So you have to give the image a short description, and copy the description to a field called 'Notes to editor' or sumat similar.

Later in the evening started watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (not the Tim Burton version) with Mac and Ben, but Ben had to go to bed after a bit so then I watched a couple of episodes of Battlestar Trashlactica with Mac.
