365 Project - COMPLETE
When geeks go walkingEven though it was raining for 3 out of the 4 hours I was out this morning, the technology enhanced dog walk I went on this morning, was most enjoyable. I found 18 geocaches (a personal best). I'd uploaded 21 geocaches…
A curious thing that I went and had a look atWhilst researching a geocache this morning, I spotted a strange looking thing on a Google satellite view - near Stonefall Park / Stonefall Cemetery. The thing that caught my eye was a concentric circle pattern that…
(Last night's) FIRE party photosTip top night. It got to about 21:30 and there was no one in the house. Why am I doing this, thought I - it was empty. My wingman had pulled out at the last minute for personal reasons (he turned up later though) which…
TONIGHT : FIRE partyWe're chucking another log on the FIRE party tonight. It's been a while. We've got 5 DJs (including me - I'm doing a laid back warm up set from 21:00 - 22:00). Cloudbass will be playing his usual unusual, Johnny Kendal…
Round Hill Round RainbowAfter a day of oversized portions and undersized exercise yesterday, I woke up this morning, feeling like I wanted to go on a burst of adventure. I scoured the maps and found a suitable looking geocache as a target,…
Christmas dayA brilliant Christmas day was had by us. It's now 23:30 so I've not got much time (or energy) to write a blog.. but just to say, today was a lovely, LOVELY Christmas day. Aside from the relatives and friends that we…
Snow on't 'illsThe view from my office window today afforded me a glimpse of fresh snowfall. It was on Little Werenside - around 30 miles away. You can just make it out in the above piccy. I've finally broken up for Christmas. The…
- Sticky beak
I like the phrase sticky beak. I first heard it in Nimbin, Australia. It roughly means child with food or snot on face. The other phrase that I heard there was 'slippery dip' meaning slide - as in a slide at a kids…
Shopping and cookingAround the third of January, when I started my "blog every day this year" quest, I wrote " I’ll try and avoid the“Here’s a blog about my lunch” cliché, but I can’t guarantee it’ll be entirely lunch free.". So far, I've…
On the shortest day we found a basherBecause my hand held GPS unit (as used for geocaching) knows exactly where it is in the world, it can tell you exactly what time the sun up and sun down in. This morning, I was at N 54° 00.814' W001° 31.395' when I…
STRAIGHT OUTTA YORKSHIRE hatSuch a hectic day. When today started (first activity, a lap of The Stray, wi' dog) I didn't envisage a full blown busy one. It has been though - in quite a good way. One of my fave things about today was acquiring a…
- (worky) Year End
Even thought I've still got a few days to go, today was the last 'normal' day of work for me in 'till after the Christmas break. Everyone starts to disappear from now on. It'll be a time for mainly odd jobbery -…
- DRAGNDROP by Pariis Opera House
Embedded video Turns out that UK electro space-funk mavericks (their words) Pariis Opera House (their typo) have produced a rather good tune (my words) called Dragndrop, where the vocal lick bangs on about DragonDrop…
- 1/4 year to Paddy's day, 1 week 'till Xmas
Annie is 9 months old today. 3/4 of a year, or to put it another way, It's 0.25 years until St. Patrick's day. This evening, we went to see Sophie perform in the Christmas school play and Carol concert. The play was The…
