Despite only having the use of my left arm I was determined to take some photos yesterday. So slowly but surely I clumsily got my camera, with 500mm lens, on to a tripod and set it up in the garden focussed on an old tit box that seems to have caught the attention of some prospective tennents. I attached a remote control and plonked myself on a chair on the patio with a cool beer. Below is the result.

It was quite an effort to both move my gear back into the house and just do simple actions required with just the use of my left hand but I got there in the end.

The title and the subject are most appropriate as we've just put Jo and Paul's flat on the market. I say Jo and Paul's as they currently live there but I have quite a vested interest in the property sale. What better can I do with the time I currently have on my hands (or should I say hand!) than use my blog to promote the fantastic North London one bedroomed flat (with garden). So if you hanker after a really well positioned abode in the N19 end of Highgate (known locally as Archway due to the close proximity to the Northern Line station of the same name) or you know some one who does you should look no further. Particularly if you would like the benefit, indeed pleasure, of a home from where you can see the mighty Emirates Stadium but still have a 'rural' garden where you can attract scenes as pictured above you really should get yourself up to Taylor Gibbs and arrange a viewing.

Well this is supposed to be a photo blog not an estate agents so plug over (but do spread the word!). The photo will not win any natural history awards but it is the output of what otherwise would have been a totally boring and non productive day photographically. My right arm is improving a pace and I hope to be back in the swing of things by mid next week. 

I've will be ticking off another of my many amibitions tomorrow when I spend the day at the Grand National (courtsey of an Xmas present from Jo and Paul). Of course if we back a couple of winners the flat may be swiftly off the market - so if you have fallen in love with it get an offer in before the off about 4pm tomorrow.
