Diary 6th August 2018

Diary Monday 6th August 2018 I was told that my passport would be delivered today, though I wasn't given a time. I could actually choose a time for quite a high fee but I chose just to wait in all day if need be (in fact I had no plans for going out anyway). As it happens, the courier came early, about 9.30 am, and to sign for an ID document, my passport, I had to show other ID first. I now have my passport and as with any passport ever it has such a handsome photo of me (it looks like a criminal's prison mug shot). The rest of the day was spent catching up on various writing projects. Youtube - Ringo Starr - Photograph Arthur Chappell
This is a video for the Ringo Starr song Photograph I have used pictures Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach in this video because I love this song and I think they...

I love the idea that you have to have no plans to go anywhere in order to be able to get your passport...

Congrats on getting your passport. I love that song by Ringo. Both my US and Latvia passport makes me look like I just escaped from the looney bin.

@RasmaSandra I don't think anyone gets a good passport photo - I bet Marilyn Monroe looked like Alfred E Newman on hers

That was nice of the courier to show up so early. It would be nice if everyone was that courteous. Excellent song. One of Ringo's best.

@xander6464 yes Ringo did some decent songs - so easily overshadowed by the other three Beatles

@xander6464 He was the best actor of the Beatles too and I loved his narrations on Thomas The Tank Engine

@arthurchappell He did a lot of really good songs. And even the stuff that others seem to consider no good, I really like.

Passport photos always seem to be terrible and on a par with driver's licence photos.

Even though you had all day, personally I prefer that deliveries come early so I do not sit and worry about the delivery. it gets so complicated--identification to get identification . . .he could have just checked the image on your passport.

That's very lucky if they came early. I usually be the one waiting at home all day. Even sometimes they call and say, "unfortunately we won't be able to come today, how about tomorrow?"

Today is Sunday delivers today? There has to be the patience perhaps tomorrow there will be the what we've been waiting for.

My previous ID has a good photo, I renewed the past month of May and the actual one is horrible.
