  • Lots of end of year posts on my my main blog covering health, the books I read in 2018 and my final month of films, books and music.

    30 December 2018
  • On OS X Mojave with desktop stacks enabled it really annoys me that the icons move ever so slightly when I close apps. I just catch sight of it out of the corner of my eye.

    28 December 2018
  • 📚 I’m really enjoying reading The Silence of The Girls by Pat Barker.

    22 December 2018
  • I do love the strange and wonderful results from using my pinhole camera.

    21 December 2018
  • Poise and balance - that’s my daughter!

    20 December 2018
  • Kissing trees

  • I’ve been starting most days right with this kettle for years.

    20 December 2018
  • I was off for my traditional winter photography walk today. I decided it was mostly a ‘film’ day so packed these cameras (the Fuji is digital). I am looking forward to seeing the results soon.

    19 December 2018
  • I updated my ‘about’ page and added back the ‘currently reading’ page onto my website.

    18 December 2018
  • Wandering around, I’m seeing lots of themed Christmas trees or minimal ones. We’re at the other end of the spectrum―all of those memories have to be carefully unwrapped from tissue paper and thrown on the tree. Maximalism!

  • I’ve enjoyed learning a little more about 3D printing over the last two days. FD376692-D998-4BE6-981E-43777507C40E.jpg

  • Disappointed to see that things that used to just work on Apple computers have been taken away. * No print services in the Photos app means I can’t send calendars as gifts easily. * No more syncing of just a few treasured photos to my phone via iTunes.

  • A few years ago I photographed many of the little things I like to keep near me on desks I use. I thought it was an interesting record of the items I like to keep around because they remind me of places and people.

    I just added a few more things to the photoset today.

  • I’ve really enjoyed CJ Samsom’s latest Shardlake book, Tombland.

    5 December 2018
  • I loved this description of a set of cheese knives on Amazon. Straight out of Private Eye’s Pseuds Corner. 0A7CA6C0-67E9-40E4-8511-BF708C61EA98.jpg

  • New blog post: 11 down and 1 to go! Three for November with my music, film and book favourites for the month.

    30 November 2018
  • That’s this year’s Christmas puddings complete. Last year I thought basing the label around various dictionaries word of the year was so smart. This year I’m not so convinced!

    30 November 2018
  • I’ve treated myself to three records so I’m looking forward to listening to some favourite and new music this weekend. 9AAA36C4-9868-4977-AD45-CD928EF1F770.jpg

  • New blog post: The repetitive nature of tradition is comforting

    28 November 2018
  • I’ve been fascinated listening to the Grenfell Tower Enquiry podcast for the last few months. Especially this week when they have moved to questioning expert witnesses. I was shocked by how much flammable material was present in the refurbished tower.

  • New blog post: Basically just a pocket dump but my first post using Blot too!

  • I’ve just seen my first Christmas tree of the year in a private home. 😡

    Edinburgh, you should be ashamed of yourself!

    22 November 2018
  • I’m listening to Paloma Faith talking about her song writing. She’s an absolute hoot!

  • Moving to blot rather takes me back to when I used a previous Dropbox blogging solution to move from Tumblr. Because It and Pelican have such similar metadata the move should a ‘skoosh’ as we say in Scotland.

    14 November 2018
  • All this talk about @blot convinced me to give it a try and I blame @jack I like Pelican but the need to build it back at base is occasionally a burden and I’ve never got my head round scaling images for mobile.
