   I promise Eddie I shall take my photo @ 5pm, but shall have to wait for my SO to upload, it if that it what one does when taking the thing from the camera to the next stage...

   Crikey - you just gave me a heart attack - I saw your instructions and thought for a moment that the programme had already started and I'd missed 5pm!

   Which kind of gives away that I'm not currently listening to Radio 4, but then i'm in the office and its very, very, quiet here!

   How upsetting. I've been listening to PM regularly every night for nearly two years on my way home from work.
   I thought I'd send my picture in for "Window on your World". I've come here, to the PM blog and what do I see? A picture of Eddie but not as I've seen him in my head but as he is and the two pictures just don't match.

   Mt Illusions are shattered. I'll never be able to listen to him again now without a small knot of loss in my heart.

    It's still showing the email address as potw@bbc.co.uk - so Eddie might have to run around to their office to collect the photos!

    A useful exercise, Eddie, because after I took my picture at 5pm, I realised that I have not updated the time on my camera since BST ended. I'll send it when I get home, and I promise it was taken at 5pm and not 6pm as the time stamp suggests! It will still be a contender for the most BORING photo you see (my desk), whatever the time is. ;-)

    Just like to reassure you all that my photo was taken as the programme started, at 5pm (confirmed by the timepiece on my desk) and not at 4.59 as the comment suggests.

    Question is, when the pictures go up how sarcastic a comment are we going to get as the "tagline" for PM? eg "PM : And yout thought the pictures were exciting enough" . Though I think it would be better to pinch Frank Fahy (23)
    "Photos for Radio taken in the dark" which sums up PM rather well at times ;)

    Jonnie - so why no picture of the doll's house & back of SO's head?

    I think Eddie has organised for all these pictures to be projected onto the walls of Buckingham Palce from now until Christmas, every evening. He's being so mysterious about where we are going to be able to see them. Otherwise perhaps there's a paper products factory lined up to start producing them on kitchen roll in time for Christmas?

    Hey Ed : you have a picture of Osama and Rolf Harris on your wall - do they cancel each other out?

    It's not my house (rented), so decorator is cheap (but cheerful). Double Glazing? I think that's against the rules for living in this thatched place.

    The heating system is v. good though, except for its direct and immediate contribution to global warming ... :(

    What scary red-eyed monster? I don't see it. Are you sure?

    Dr Hackenbush - I thought we'd established you sent in a duodenal ulcer picture? Now you're saying it's "an accurate reflection of something". What - you've been operating in front of a mirror??

    The SO sent in my pic, but without putting any caption or origin on it (point of honour that he doesn't read the blog, so didn't follow Eddie's instructions). Oh well, serves me right for not doing it myself.

    Jonnie - daughter highly impressed by the incredible luxury of the Dolls House. Now I know why you don't take children - very wise. I detect Simon is weakening re the blog. First he takes a photo - next he'll be wanting to see what other people have sent, then he'll be commenting....

    Lovely blog with nice pictures.

    The word "photography" derives from the Greek and means, literally, 鈥渓ight writing.鈥� The quality of light can transform an otherwise ordinary vista into a warm and moody scene.

    Light - the primary source of energy for the universe - is the central image of many religions and the photographer's chief resource. From the relentless power of full sun over water to the beam from a single candle, it is light photographers play with, light in its many moods and manifestations that we capture on film.

    I do hope this is of help.

    Sorry, Dear Heart,
    I posted my appreciation as soon as the fauxto was developed, but I'm sure you've noticed that the moderation has regressed to its former, apalling delays and fragmentating and shuffling of the order of posts.
    I shall tempt providence by suggesting that those responsible shoud be taken outside and strangled by their own entrails, unless they have been involved in unfolding the photos which appear to have arrived unexpectedly and unbidden at the PM desk.
    What is the World coming to? etc.. I don't pay my licence fee to have sweet souls like yourself upset by people who are not up to the job. I have a little man who sees to that sort of thing for me.

    Valery, My Dear,

    Thank you for confirmation of the phenomenon. I haven't lit a ciggie since I switched on and the yellow stripe is in the address box.

    A possible explanation has suggested itself. This afternoon, there was no colouring. I was using a set with that modern big band connection. Oh, me! That takes me back to the days of Glenn Miller, Joe Loss, the Squadronnaires; they were good days. (Apart from that unpleasantness that we are not supposed to mention.)

    Where was I?
    Oh yes. Now this machine is a dial and ride one. That perhaps is the difference. It's less worrying than another idea I had, that the yellow might be an indicator of an old person who is dispensable. That I can completely forget, now that I know a fine young lassie like yersel' has the same thing.

    It's very kind of you to write, not like that good-for-nothing son of mine.

    I see that you have your name up in lights! That hasn't happened to me since I stopped going out with the butcher's boy. Oh, what fun it was riding down the village street in that wicker basket on the front of his bike. (Providing that I'd remembered to put on clean undies.) That was before I met Mr. Naughtie, of course, but we don't speak of him.

    You are a clever girl and must be very proud of yourself, and to think that you bothered to write to me. It's much better than a letter from that Eric Ghosh fellow; he's getting paid to do it. Not that he's written to me, of course. I'm sure he must be far too busy getting photographs out of envelopes.

    Ooh, look at the time. I'm late for His Lairdship's (no not that one) midnight feast.
