If this photo raises a prickle of recognition in you — even nostalgia — then I know how old you are. BBC Micro, pictured at the National Media Museum, Bradford.
Being 42
Life, one day at a time

Autumn colours, Nutclough Woods
Saturday 1st November 2014, 2.35pm (day 1,164)
A weekend at home, with no work, and there haven’t been many of those lately so let’s make the most of it. Though stormier by the evening much of today remained mild and bright, and with colours like these sometimes you may as well just go with the cliched shot.
Guest at the Halloween party
Friday 31st October 2014, 10.55pm (day 1,163)
Happy Halloween, happy end of the week, end of the month, end (for me) of a long period travelling. The house across the road threw a party tonight, an enjoyable evening. I believe that it was supposed to be the warmest 31st October in the UK since records began.
My in-flight cup of wine
Thursday 30th October 2014, 3.30pm (UK time) (day 1,162)
Got completely bored on the flight back from Moscow and started taking photos of my in-flight refreshment. Not an easy shot to get — with a bouncy child on the seat in front and poor ambient light. It passed 40 minutes, at least, and this was the best attempt.
Sunset skyline, Moscow
Wednesday 29th October 2014, 4.30pm (day 1,161)
A landscape, almost. The weather in Moscow today was glorious, totally unseasonal, and here the setting sun catches these blocks that tower around the fringes of central Moscow like the monoliths in Monument Valley, some from the Communist era but many rather newer than that.
Georgia and Boris wait for the meeting
Tuesday 28th October 2014, 4.30pm (day 1,160)
Well, sometimes I have been known to work for my crust. My colleagues appear by now to be competing to make an appearance on this blog, Georgia complained audibly today that she’d never been on it — whereas Boris has, once before (in November 2011, a picture I still like). So there you go G — you made it…
Scaffolders in front of GUM
Monday 27th October 2014, 5.15pm (day 1,159)
Sometimes the shot just waves at you and cannot be ignored. What this scaffolding was for, heaven knows, but it was being built this evening, on a grand scale, in front of GUM, the huge shopping mall which lines one side of Red Square (it stands for Glavnyi Universalnyi Magazin, or ‘Main Universal Store’).
Birch avenue
Sunday 26th October 2014, 2.10pm (day 1,158)
Third consecutive Sunday spent up in the air on my way somewhere — in this case, like two Sundays ago, Moscow. This shot was taken on the final approach in to Domodedovo airport. Probably I break a few composition rules here but hey, that’s what rules are for, right?
Cobbles, Hebden Bridge
Saturday 25th October 2014, 11.25am (day 1,157)
Second, and last, day of a two-day gap between coming back from one trip and heading off on another. It must be significant that both the photos in the gap have been of the ground of my home town.
Fallen leaf
Friday 24th October 2014, 9.30am (day 1,156)
Back home, just for two days. This was a photowhack — the one and only picture taken today.
