She's In Control Again

In the not-so-distant Chaos Years, my maxim was 'There is No Authority Higher Than Myself'*
Now I have put my life into a totally different gear, I have very much become my own authority...and do I run a tight ship!
Some things, the addictives and alcohol and the whole club + gig scanario, have, after the initial fierce battle of wills, been quite easy to put by; my attitude is a classic case of 'been there, done that...so what else ya got?'.
This would not work if I didn't allow some latitude, hence going out to eg Slimes, speeding etc occasionally. That's OK, that's letting-off-steam...no worries there.
This applies to my working life too, so this morning I'm back on 'normal working hours', (body-clock re-altered by a mere 12g Amitriptylene)
Today I'm concentrating on hum-drum but necessary commercial work.
So... sleeves rolled up and back to the drawing-board.

I took this photo of Panzer last night...its my favourite so far (but I must learn how to use Photoshop so I can fade or change the colour of the date stamp...it'd be nicer if it was eg soft blue or sepia

RIP desk chair

Sob sniff I have to dismantle and chuck out my desk chair that I've had for ages. There just isn't room for it now I have slinky Ikea foldaways.
Here is its commemorative photo. I put the leather bits on a couple of years ago after buying an old leather coat in Oxfam and cutting it up..

Here's Panzer photoshopped! Thanks CC, there are lots of things in that Adjustments bit I never saw before.



I made it TOO luminous tho, it was better muted.

Panzer in real lighting (side lamp)



'thing about Photoshop is, its not fair on real lighting etc conditions. The light from that large wicker shaded lamp to the side, is lovely on its own.
