We're just back in from a day out at the sea side. Last night we enjoyed the mildest night whilst camping I can remember in ages. A night who's sky went straight from twilight to dawn, skipping the pitch black bit…

Nel's Birthday CampWe're at Bobby Bee's campsite, Burton Flemming. We arrived mid afternoon to a full compliment of happy campers. We've had a massive game of cricket and are starting prep for an evening of food, fire and fun. A cracking…
Some photos from AllanGateI collected a processed film that I shot last weekend on my LOMO LC-A. Quite pleased. I also got back a film that I shot on a LOMO LIBERTEL 166B -= all out of focus. Quite unpleased. You win some, you loose some. Anyhoo…
- Music.. What happened?
The other night I popped into a local late night food emporium. You know the kind of place; the "Yes my friend, chili sauce?" mantra ringing in your tinnitus ears, whilst you run the risk of falling over thanks to the…
- I did write a blog yesterday, honest.
Regular visitors, and those familiar with my DD365 project that involves me blogging every day for a year this year, will note a visible breach in continuity. It looks like I didn't blog yesterday. I did blog, but made…
- Electro Jam
I actually look like I know what I'm doing here. Don't tell anyone that I make it all up as I go along. I popped along to 'Electro Jam' at Zoso last night and span a few tunes. A fun night. It's an 'open deck' night…
- I sent a life changing email this morning
I was poised over the point of no return, with a single finger - the left mouse button, whilst my mouse pointer hovered over the virtual send button. Up until that point, I could have retreated. I pressed send. The time…
- Vaping
Almost exactly 1.5 years ago to the day, I gave up smoking. Whilst I hadn't been a heavy smoker, I did smoke enough so, that it was an addiction. I had a physical and habitual dependency on smoking cigarettes. I enjoyed…
- AllanGate
My mate Allan had his 50th birthday this weekend and pulled a mini festival together to mark the occasion. For those of you who don't know him, Allan is a top bloke and I consider myself very lucky indeed to call him a…
Camping tingsCamping out en mass with a big gaggle of kids, a cluster of grownups and a shed load of dogs. We've got a large communal tent structure set up in the middle of a big field with a PA, lights and a set of decks. I've been…
Turned out nice againJust about to embark on the first camping mission of the season. We've just got our van back from the van fixie shop. It's a bit of a dry run - we're only headed about a mile out of Harrogate, so if (when?) we realise…
- Something
Something's happened today that I can't talk about just yet, but is rather exciting. I'll come back onto that in a later blog, no doubt. The rest of this blog is likely to be me waffling on about nothing in particular,…
- Codeacademy vs Minecraft vs Cricket
Today my boy Felix (age 14) got cracking on www.codecademy.com . He has been expressing an interesting in learning 'code' and finding out about the how the internet is made for some time, so I pointed him there. I've…
- I've spent the day with Google people
Did you know, that every second, 500 hours of YouTube video are watched? I didn't this morning, but I do now, thanks to the time I've spent today with a some Google employees. I don't think they were aware that I'm such…
GrassingtonDrawn by the some'uts 'appening in Grassington rumors ( Grassington Festival ), we set Fathers Day Outing coordinates for upper Wharfedale in The Yorkshire Dales yesterday. Grassington is one of my favorite places. Even…
