For the past couple of years around this time of year, an incredibly 'Harrogate' corner of Harrogate - nestling behind the Crown Hotel in Crescent Gardens, has been enhanced, for two weeks only (as part of the Harrogate…
DD365
The ‘DD365’ Category is all about me trying to do a post every day throughout 2013 starting Jan 1. I’m going to try not to make it too “Here’s a blog about my lunch” but I can’t guarantee it’ll be entirely lunch free.

- Spiegeltent Harrogate
Libertel 166 BI had at unexpected bonus couple of hours in the sun today. The organiser of a meeting I was due to attend unexpectedly declared that he'd moved the meeting to outside. He'd brought cake as well. Double bonus. That took…
Compelling content"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." Charles Darwin This 365 project I'm doing - where I'm blogging every day for a year occasionally leaves me a bit short, when it comes to…
Weekend EndI write two main types of blog. Those that are about something else , and those that are about me and/or my family . I'd had a great idea for a blog about something whilst I was in the bath this morning but I can't for…
- Litter on The Stray
Why is it that some people think it's OK to leave litter on The Stray? (A central public green space in my hometown of Harrogate, North Yorkshire). Not just the odd sweet wrapper, but the remnants of a whole…
- Lifelogging by Memoto
From conversations I've had, I know that some people are going to love this idea of this, some, hate it. The photographer in me loves it because I've learned that to get a good photo, you often have to take tens,…
- Techno pushchair
Even if I didn't have kids, I'd probably want one of these pushchairs. They've got more features than my first car had. As well as the touch button robotic folding and unfolding mechanism (see video below), it's got…
- It's mid week already
Wednesday tomorrow. That sounds better in the closer to the grand weekend scheme of things than it's Tuesday. That's come around quick. I'm just writing a quick blog now because I've got a 'meeting' in The Swan on The…
- It's all in the Bank
Bank holidays are fantastic things. It's more than an extra day, a 1/3 extra weekend, it's an actual mini holiday. We should by now, as a human race be able to organise things so that we can have more holiday, more…
Cutting it fineI have 9 minutes to write a blog. Just woken up in Brundenell Social club Leeds. Been at the cricket. Well above average.
- Felix up the Eiffel Tower
Here's my boy Felix up the Eiffel Tower. Cracking view! He's just come back from his first overseas solo (without us) adventure on a school trip. He arrived home around 11pm last night and he doesn't speak fluent French…
- Vasectomy - done
In my last post I wrote about the Djibouti proverb which gauges a mans richness by the amount of children he'd fathered. I've fathered 4 now which by today's standards (in this part of the world at least) is plenty. I…
NappiesAccording to the audiobook* I'm reading at the moment, an old Djibouti proverb goes like this : "A man is only as rich as the number of children he fathers" and then, went on to the question "After all, what else does…
- Grand Canyon
By eck, it's grand that is. Clair and Ben (wearing a splendid T-Shirt) stood in from of a STUNNING vista of The Grand Canyon in Arizona. Loads of DD club points for this one - iconic background (fo' sho), wearing the…
- New Flickr
It's been a remarkable few days for technology. Google's annual developer conference last week revealed yet another Star Trek tech ; "Hot Wording" - a device that constantly listening to you, waiting for you to say…
