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.

Harrogate - Killinghall - Ripley cycle path- Id, Superego and a vasectomy
I had two options for my blog post of the day. One - what was in the post. The real, 'snail mail' post. A thing from Spa Surgery telling me how to book in to have my vasectomy. Eek. The second thing that I thought I…
- Cracking morning
Embedded video Not quite cracking flags temperature yet, but a beautiful blue sky drive into work this morning across The Yorkshire Dales. As the schools are off, the roads were quiet and I got to enjoy the scenery.The…
My eldest, my youngestLunchtime, first day back at work after a long stretch of time off the grid. In summary, it's been a morning of work email reading. It took us ages to get home yesterday - we dawdled quite a lot on the way home from…
- Ship to shore II
We're currently aboard the Dublin Swift Ferry just out from Dublin. I've tapped into the ships WiFi to publish this blog so this blog is a true ship to shore communique. The above screen shot shows exactly where we are…
- Last day
It's our last day of holiday today. Bit sad. I've taken a week of paternity and a week of holiday, dove tailed that into Easter and it's given me a whole big chunk of time to hang out with my family - especially new…
- Iconic Dublin
If you know one thing about Dublin, it's Guinness. If you know two things about Dublin, it's the Guinness and the literary greats the city has fathered such as Beckett, Joyce, Swift and Wilde. Pick up any mainstream…
- Geocaching event & Guinness
We went to a Geocaching event this morning at Marley Park (that I wrote about yesterday) in Dublin. A park that I've since been told is the second largest city park in Western Europe after Phoenix park, also in Dublin.…
- Dogs and spring sprung
It actually felt quite pleasant out today. A welcome change to the bleak drudge we've had weather wise recently. We've had a family day today - we were lucky enough to have a visit from Annie's great grand parents.…
- We're in't paper!
Following on from my last blog - we're now in Dublin. We had to drive through the city centre at rush hour, but because of the beautiful sunset which accompanied us, everything was AOK. We're now trenched at 'Irish…
- Ship to shore
Well this is a first. I'm blogging from a ship. The Irish Ferries ship Ulysses to be specific. The largest passenger ferry (Jeremy Clarkson voice) in the world. We're on our way to Dublin for Easter where the main event…
RIP MistyWe just had to say farewell to our Misty, a 13+ year old Persian cat. Above is her last ever photo, snapped this morning before we took her to the vet. She was such a poppet but unfortunately her health was in rapid…
- Adventure box
I've discovered that buying a second hand roof box is an incredibly complicated thing to do. I had to learn so much about said items that if there was a degree course, I think I could walk away with First Class Honors.…
- We changed our names today
Today we registered the birth of our latest edition - Annie Maureen Watson-Power to give her, her full title. The Watson-Power is a coupling of both Eirene (my wife, Annie's mother) and my surnames. I was a Watson,…
Pubs reinventing themselvesEnded up in "The Den" in Harrogate town centre last night. We were en route to The Blues but never made it quite that far - I bumped into a friend who said there were a load of people I knew at The Den. A pub that's re…
