After a false start in April where we had a pseudo summer for a week, this weekend we most certainly had a bit of summer. Well – yesterday at least – was hot, blue skies, happy days. We had a party / fire bin / bbq type thing at our house on Saturday night with a bunch of lovely people…. Read more →
Playing with the idea of integrating comments – it seems that most people comment on my blogs / posts etc. inside facebook so I may as well try and integrate it into the site (thought I). This is a bit of a test post to see how it all works.. – – – pfft. deactivated it. May try getting it… Read more →
Eirene, my lovely wife of 11 years yesterday morning asked where I thought we should go for our wedding anniversary meal. I immidiatly brought out the big guns: “William & Victoria? Drum & Monkey?” The text thread went quiet. An hour or two later she came back with the suggestion of “Sage Bistro I reckon looks nice xxx” The thing… Read more →
Fathers day, originally uploaded by DragonDrop. A lovely treat for me this morning. Some very studious and intense whispering heralded breakfast in bed complete with hand made sweets, a flower, a bacon sandwich and a cup of (Yorkshire) tea in a Homer Rocks mug. The best bit is the smiles off my three lovely squashy dragon droplets. I miss my… Read more →
Apparently, A DragonDrop Adventure Shirt has already been on TV during a cricket match in India when it’s wearer, Jim, was carried around the ground at shoulder height for being the only non Indian in the ground. Or so I’m told. Last night, a DragonDrop Adventure Shirt made it onto Mainstream British TV with an appearance for a minute or so of Channel… Read more →
John, aka ‘Bampa’ has just submitted this photo for the DragonDrop Adventure T-Shirt Gallery. Two first; 1./ the first DD shirt shot from Canada, 2./ The first time a DD shirt has ever been worn tucked in. You can see the CN Tower in the background. He apologised for it being out of focus – poorly camera.
14 out of the 19 stags on tour I’ve been on a fair few stag tours. Ibiza, Portugal, Edinburgh, Brighton, Nottingham, Amsterdam – to name but a few. I’d probably say I’m a stag vet. This one had the feel of a traditional, all encompassing stag event – no holes barred, no horses spared. Full power 35 hour, 1 shower…. Read more →
So I drive from Harrogate to a town just west of Skipton (and back) every day. Closing the A59 to work on landslip prevention for 5 weeks is fair enough (even though it’s the 3rd year running they’ve done it). I can live with that. Essential work. Big ticket roadworks. Serious civil engineering – stand back everybody. What I can’t… Read more →
Lovely weekend slightly tarnished today by loosing all my photos from it – either human error or some weird thing happened when I tried to upload them from my phone to dropbox. This has never happened to me before as far as I can recall but I’ve lost phones and wallets before and it’s a feeling akin to that. Never mind though!… Read more →
A screenshot of my Spotify – one of my favourite applications of all time. When someone asks me “what is Spotify?” I answer “An application that gives you any song you want within one second.” And whilst that’s not entirely infallible - there are great swathes of music conspicuously absent, it does have over 13 millions tracks available. New released tend to hit spotify… Read more →
