- All about Yorkshire brick show at the National Coal Mining Museum
I was going to write a blog today all about www.yorkshirebrickshow.co.uk at the National coal mining museum today. It is just one of many things that I was going to do today. The first was get up early and get to the…
SightseersMatt and I were trawling through the many offerings on Lovefilm and Netflicks trying to decide on what to watch. Nothing seemed to grab us until I spotted in the comedy section 'Sightseers' and Matt clicked play. Now I…
- I went to Specsavers
I bought some new glasses last week. Yesterday attended my appointment to collect them. Sitting in the chair waiting for my receipt, I gazed at my new glasses in the little hand held mirror. The first glimmer of a doubt…
- Where memories go
I have just finished listening to'Where memories go'. It's the story of Magnus Magnusson's wife's descent into dementia written by his daughter Sally Magnusson, serialised on radio 4's book of the week. What a wonderful…
- The Academy
Just before Christmas we were given two , one week's free membership to the Academy. The Academy is a health club in Harrogate. It's so much nicer then the local swim baths. There is carpet on the floor in the changing…
Breaking BadMatt and I finished 'Breaking Bad' last night. It was a hard fought battle my behalf to get through to the end as there were quite a few episodes that put me so far out of my comfort zone I was nearly sat next door. The…

(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…
- Probably the nicest content on the internet, today.
This made me smile - I think that was it's intention. It's quite cutesy and all that, but I liked it. Chicago's Magical Piano: Embedded video I bet they had some fun with that. Not much has happened of note in the past…
Harrogate Christmas Market : Aborted missionWe attempted the Christmas Market at the bottom of Montpelier Hill (Just opposite the Slug and Lettuce) today. A mix of stalls and food concessions were the main stay with a smattering of small fairground rides at the…
- A classic first test second day
Two days into The Ashes first test and England have collapsed beyond much hope. I actually woke up at 04:40 this morning and tuned in for 15 minutes. A silly thing to do. England had just lost a string of wickets for…
