- Intense logistics, a run off dog and a me pic
Yesterday was funny. I "wrote" my daily blog (thus ensuring continuity of my DD365 project) using a method I'd has in mind as a back up reserve idea - see, it dawned on me that where I was going, the internet may not be…

- It looks like I've missed a day..
Astute observers of my DD365 project may note at this point, that there's a day missing. I wrote a blog yesterday but for some reason, it hasn't published. It's not even saved as as an online draft - but I know I wrote…

- "highly commend" Leeds University
Forgive my proud dad head for a moment - but for a respected university to publicly say that the efforts of your 14 year old son is "highly commendable" is kind of a big deal. Felix's team earned this praise by coming…
Culley, Dragonfly and SmithIf I had to compile a list of 'top events I've looked forward to in 2013', this would be fairly high up on the list. Certainly single figures. Two of my fave local acts of all time (it may well be three by the end of…
