Ruby and I have frequent quality daughter/daddy time on an evening. We both love books and read together when we can. We’ve read all the Harry Potter books, The Hobbit, and loads of other kids’ books and now we have embarked on our biggest book series yet: all of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett.…… Continue reading The Colour of Magic: Terry Pratchett

Oh, I wish there was a better (or even any sensible) way of using Flickr content as a featured image on a page or post. I’d just like to be able to connect my Flickr account to WordPress and then be able to see my Flickr photos within my media library so I can add…… Continue reading Featured Images
Shine
(17/366/2020) Dreary day, few photo opportunities so was pleased to take this on the way to Tesco https://flic.kr/p/2igoy2J
Counterbalance
(16/366/2020) I’d left my photo of the day a bit late – again – so revisited the clock in our dining area. It’s a really nice clock, and now that I’ve edited this image I’m regretting not giving it a quick dust first. https://flic.kr/p/2ig8Dnu Clock hand
Happy
(15/366/2020) Even happier: a bottle opener https://flic.kr/p/2ifGMYc
Court
(13/366/2020) Ruby was playing Netball this evening. I obviously can’t be taking photos of other people’s children, but I was far more interested in the lines and texture of the court in the gym. https://flic.kr/p/2ifjH82 Court
Hogg
(12/366/2020) I remember this butcher. It was a shame when they shut, but the painted sign remains. https://flic.kr/p/2ieaYQu Hogg
Mastermind
(11/366/2020) A favourite game from my youth and one that my daughter is really enjoying. She’s beating me quite a bit too! https://flic.kr/p/2ie9V61 Mastermind
Radiate
(10/366/2020) This one is looking a bit beige, so perhaps we need to think about redecorating our kitchen. I’m going to start doing some more ‘normal’ images. These abstracts and shapes/patterns are too difficult to do every day for a year. I’ll still do them when I can but I need to expand the type…… Continue reading Radiate
Open
(9/366/2020) Less abstract today, but there are loads of interesting patterns, shapes and textures on the top of a Coke can https://flic.kr/p/2icwhB9 Open
Damp lines
(8/366/2020) Waiting for the tram home after a NottsTest Meetup in town. It was raining quite a bit but it did make the succession of horizontal lines look a little more interesting https://flic.kr/p/2iccDir Damp Lines
Steps
(7/365/2020) I’m not going to lie: I’m finding abstracts hard to come by. I’m going to have to extend this year’s theme into other things, such as textures and shapes – things that aren’t exactly abstract but might be interesting in themselves. I’ve always liked these stairs, especially the angles and the awful (but hardy)…… Continue reading Steps
