I’ve just got some film back from the lab. I shot most if it on the stag do in Dentdale I went on recently. Semi good results. Semi. The above diptych just about saves the roll though. Cool shirt, cool guys. The film was “Fujichrome Provia 1600 daylight” that went out of date nearly 14 years ago. The film is… Read more →
Friday. Mid drinkypoos at a friends house who is celebrating his 52 birthday. He took the candles on his cake and made them say 25. Later, I’m DJing. Its been a big old week. Parents evening and heavy duty work. I’ve taken my first call as a Samaritan as well. It went well. Aye. Crisps and some more wine me… Read more →
This could be a massive change to the world if they get it right (or wrong). Google are also looking at this – “same day delivery drones” – basically, quad copters that can deliver a 5lb package up to 10 miles from a distribution centre. The delivery option page on your favourite eCommerce websites could look like this.. [ ]… Read more →
This is Bruce. He’s Elsie’s best friend. They were born about a week apart from each other and have grown up together. He’s half Springer, half Tibetan Terrier. He’s ace. Today at lunchtime, we got to take Elsie round to his house today as Bruce’s masters had gone out for the day and asked Eirene if she wouldn’t mind popping… Read more →
I’ve updated my residual self image in the internets. I’ve updated LinkedIn, Skype and Twitter (prolly got a couple more networks to go, but..) this evening, I updated Facebook with it as my profile pic. I quite like it (that’s why). I shot it on August the 9th this year, it’s called “Selfie with dog”. I shot it on Kodak… Read more →
I’m working with a team in a different timezone at the moment. They are two hours ahead and so it made sense to me at the time, when I suggested last Friday that I start at 07:00 so that we could start the day / meeting (Scrum kick off over VC) 09:00 their time. It wasn’t that bad though. Pretty… Read more →
We spent the afternoon on Ilkley Moor (with hats on). Felix (our boy, age 15) made the transition from autumn to winter (last night to this morning) under canvas, at a Scout camp in Ilkley. We use the pick-up opportunity to go up on’t moor for a bit. I’d last been up that neck of the woods in July last… Read more →
We attempted the Christmas Market at the bottom of Montpelier Hill (Just opposite the Slug and Lettuce) today. A mix of stalls and food concessions were the main stay with a smattering of small fairground rides at the Cold Bath Road end. I’d like to report back with a glowing review, but we beat a hasty retreat shortly after arrival…. Read more →
Sophie (aged 7) had an assignment from school. She was to make a presentation to give to the rest of her class on any subject of her choosing. The presentation was to last for less than 10 minutes. I helped her with it but she put a lot into it and we’re really pleased with it. It tells the story… Read more →
Went to Felix’s parents evening – the boy dun good! It’s his first one we’ve been to since he started his GCSE’s. Very pleased with the feedback we got – he’s predicted A in most stuff – even an A Star in one. The only subject that let the side down for him was English a bit – but room… Read more →
I’ve been to London today with m’ colleague to see some clients. I ran a workshop session thing. It went well. Gearing up to begin. Discovery. I like this stage of a project – the design part (coming up next) is my fave. To get there though, we need to know what it is we’re designing. Anyhow. Just on the… Read more →
Starting this morning, I’ve got a very busy few days ahead of me. Work wise, the complexity is ramping up on a few things and a deadline is within sight. I had one of those meetings that I wasn’t looking forward to this morning, but it turned out all right. Tomorrow I’m off to London village where I’m conducting a… Read more →
Monday’s eh? They often set out to remove the last vestiges of ones weekend gusto, the erstwhile enthusiasm and creativity generated over the weekend can so easily dissipate, if you’re not careful. I don’t let them though. Oh no. I’ve got a few sneaky weapons up my sleeve for when the Monday blues try to poo poo my moves. I… Read more →
Last night I went to a stag do at a big ol’ country pile of a place deep up in’t dales. A mansion (owing to its two staircases) in fact. Heading up past Skipton, up the Kendal road then off the beaten track then off the less beaten track onto an even less beaten track. A spectacular sunset accompanied me… Read more →
Jaygo got some new glasses today. They have specially coloured lenses in. He’s been diagnosed as having Ireln® Syndrome. The ® part of the syndrome makes me a bit suspicious , as did the price tag but some of the info surrounding these seem beneficil. They should help him with reading , demeanour and concentration, which is good. The benefit… Read more →
