byslantedlight...and here I am sitting at my desk at nine o'clock again... another day, another dollar... *sighs* So. Okay. Inspiration for today. There's quite a bit of fic with Doyle undercover with straight hair and all - Harlequin Airs for one, though he has a beard and is decidedly non-yuppie in that one! Oh, is Spring-Heeled Jack another one..? Not read that for ages, but I seem to remember it's an undercover-Doyle fic... *g*

ali15on put up last night, though there's a bit of me that still thinks I know that pic - it's the way he's holding his mouth... Actually buggritbuggrem, here it is (hope A doesn't mind the signal boost), just in case anyone knows it (pic on the left). 
Oooh, wait - I have another gamewith which to avoid starting work. 
Difficult... The first two pics look most similar to me, but the differences with the third one could be due to so much, even just the pose... What d'you reckon? (Mystery Pic - The Big Knife - Cassidy) *g*
Okay, a bit of a puzzle to think on cheered me up, and fortify me for getting the hell on with work... Realistically everyone faffs when they first get into work, whether it's sanctioned faffing or not, right? Though even more realistically, Job 1 really doesn't have space for the faffing, cos it's really more like piecework in a factory, but with words and paragraphs, so... get on with it!
Today
09.00-10.00 - At desk. Faffing with this post. But I do feel more cheerful than when I sat down! Trouble is, it's 9.45 now...
10.00-11.00 - That's better. Job 1.1 13/26. Meanwhile, the smithy's on the yard, there's a strong smell of what I presume is burnt hoof, and I can hear the clanging... Wonder if they still call themselves smithy - probably not... *googles*... Oh, a farrier, of course! Still wish I'd known he was coming so I could've closed my windows!
11.00-12.00 - Fiddle practice - checked newspaper - Job 1.1 14-23/26
12.00-13.00 - Job 1.1 29/29 (normally half a day's work, but today I have extra to do... *sighs*) - Job 1.2 1-4/29.
13.00-14.00 - Lunch!
14.00-15.00 - erk, late lunch again, cos I looked for that MS picture again and then fiddle-practiced, and then... - Job 1.2-5-11/29.
15.00-16.00 - Job 1.2 12-22/31.
16.00-17.00 - Job 1.2 23-31/31. Yeay - one more to go... Job 1.3...-
17.00-18.00 - Job 1.3 1-12/23. Gaaargh - so close to finishing, and it's an awkward one (in an unpleasant font!)
18.00 - 19.00 - And done. And downloaded two more assignments. And blargh for awkward assignments that stop me finishing "on time"... *sighs* Still - done now, at 18.50. Time to cook dinner... and write. *g*

Virtual Holiday
Date: Tuesday, 4 August 2015 10:15 am (UTC)It is raining today, we got kissed good morning by the sun but fell asleep again and woke to rain.
It smells wonderful!
My brother beat me to getting rolls, but we're about to head to the beach.

Date: Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:02 pm (UTC)I'm still puzzling over the piccy too. I'm sure I've seen it less cropped somewhere at some time, but all I can find now is the cropped version, with no accreditation. Grrrr!
In your pics, his face looks fuller in the first two, but then in the first one, his cheekbone looks more prominent... Anyhow, whatever, it's a nice way to spend a few minutes, gazing at the pretty men. Thank you, and happy paperwork and worky-work. (And yeah, burnt hoof smells pongy!)

Date: Tuesday, 4 August 2015 03:44 pm (UTC)I can't even find the cropped version I remember of that pic - I wonder if it was on Tumblr or somewhere like that, and one of the rare days when I rushed by without saving?
His face does look fuller in the first two - good way of describing it! I thought he looked slightly older in the third one, which might mean that The Big Knife is right for the mystery pic, cos that was 1986/7 and Cassidy was 1988/9-ish, I think. I shall have to keep looking through my pretty men and see what else I can find... *g*

That picture is going to make me fidget until I know now... but any excuse to look through my stash of pretty men piccies is fine with me. Hang on - I need an excuse? *g*

This is where I pinned it from... Still no closer to the actual role or time...
Must run, good luck!

It's a fuzzier version, interestingly - I wonder if it's the same pic and one or the other has been touched up (or maybe the original version that was sharper has been enlarged in this version, and tightly cropped in the other). I guess we'll have to wait to find out more, until one day, there in front of us... *g* Thanks for looking!

Date: Wednesday, 5 August 2015 04:01 pm (UTC)It's not like you could even ask MS, "Oh, hey, when was this picture taken?"! How would he even know? That must be crazy. I hope he likes the way he looks in pictures... because if not, what a pain... (I personally hate the way I look in pictures!)

Date: Wednesday, 12 August 2015 10:49 am (UTC)And I guess that was one of the things MS is often smacked for, isn't it - that he always said he didn't like the "celebrity" public eye part of being an actor, because what he wanted to do was act... which I think is actually a pretty good thing to think and way to be, but he really got slammed for it over the years - which is good evidence that he was right about it too... and look at that horrible Daily Mail article about LC, which must have been some time when he'd just become sick... pure nastiness, that was for, and I hate that side of the British media... MS was definitely right, I'd say!
