Ommwriter. You came into my field of view and I liked the look of you. Distraction free writing sounds good. You look beautiful and have some great sounding features. These are the first few words. Already, I'm missing…

3 portraits of 3 people all looking to the leftI just got a film back today. Shot with my OM10 on Kodak Ektar 100. Out of all of them, these three were ones that I quite liked. They are all of people looking over there. Where? Over there.
- Voluntary gesture!
Annie Mo (aged 7 months and a bit) did an actual voluntary gesture today - she waved! As I was leaving the house tonight (on my way to part to voluntary gesture), she smiles and gave me a big wave goodbye. I waved back…
Taking photos of each otherEirene and our daughters walked across the link bridge between the carpark and Victoria Shopping centre in Harrogate today and snapped a photo of me snapping a photo of them with our camera phones. Click here for the…
Clocks and ChestnutsI liked my friend Daren's facebook statement earlier: "Today has mostly been an exercise in being SURPRISED BY WHAT TIME IT *IS/ISN'T! ". Quite. It caught us out - we hadn't a clue. No harm done though - not like the…
Oldest trick in the comic bookI fell for one of the classic marketing ploys today. Free stuff. More precisely, the ol' "bread at the back of the store" technique. An old friend was running the show at Destination Venus today - Harrogate's graphic…
- Venue flooded, gig cancelled
Boo. I was right looking forward to tonight (re last post). Lots of rain in short amount of time has flooded the venue. The Management of Zoso have had to close the place for the night. Never mind , I'm ahead of the…
Type Set ListI've had a rather enjoyable few hours since last weekend getting these tunes together. Some brand new chooners that I've bought, some brand new chooners off the "5 years of Diynamic Records" album that I got for my…
Felix is 15Our boy Felix is 15 today. We got him an accordion. What a handsome young man he's turned into. I was thinking - back to when he was a baby and people said "before you know it, he'll be 15 and you won't know where the…
- Quicker blog
I've got even less time tonight than I had last night to write my daily blog (must... not... fail... so..... close now). I ended up writing a regular sized blog last night anyway - perhaps I'll get the opportunity to…
- Samaritans Confidentiality
A large part of tonight's training at Samaritans was about the importance of confidentiality. At one point, I realised, I may have made a mistake. In our training, we were given a piece of advice that I've already…
- Quick blog
I've got a few minutes now before eating then heading out to a Samaritans training evening. Yesterday was a bit of an odd day - one of those days that didn't seem to sit right. Today has been good : I've got my head…
Sophie's parents eveningWe went to Sophie's parents evening just now. All very positive and quite lovely. She's recently been added to the Gifted and Talented register for Mathematics - so it's no surprise that she likes that subject most of…
I got to drive a tractorFor around about 8 years, I've had a perpetual new years resolution : "This year, I want to drive a tractor". As a kid, growing up in part in a village where my bezzy mates were farmers lads, tractors were kind of a big…
Sure as apples are applesAfter a morning that's best consigned to the 'write off and start all over again' type classification which involved an uphill struggle over an issue to do with my bank (stupid me forgot to cancel a standing order for…
