Retail heaven (or hell)

Wednesday 23rd December 2015, 2.55pm (day 1,581)

Bullring, 23/12/15

A picture to warm the heart of economists everywhere. Part of me despairs at the scale of it all but I cannot judge because, like everyone in traffic jams, I was just as much part of it as everyone else today. I guess this picture could be most anywhere in the world at this point in the year, but it happens to be Birmingham’s second-ever appearance on this blog (after 19/3/12). This is the Bullring shopping centre, recently totally rebuilt and vast in scale, this is just one wing of it.

On the escalator

Friday 11th December 2015, 12.05pm (day 1,569)

Escalator, 11/12/15

Specifically, the one connecting the vast conference space at the Celtic Manor with the equally vast lobby and vast spread of guest rooms. Did I mention it was a vast place?

I over-exposed this one when I took it, but then I just ran with it, there are some nice shapes and lines here. I like the way his legs have almost disappeared.

The beginnings of pickle

Sunday 6th December 2015, 1.40pm (day 1,564)

Pickle beginnings, 6/12/15

Coming to the end of a long (for me) period of time spent entirely at home. Let’s enjoy the kitchen while I’m still around. This stuff takes an hour to make and costs about three pounds for a year’s supply — and is the best goddamn piccalilli I’ve ever had.

In the library

Thursday 3rd December 2015, 2.15pm (day 1,561)

Library shelves, 3/12/15

I do sometimes still end up doing work in this place. I wonder whether the government think it is ‘productive’…

Cinema foyer

Sunday 29th November 2015, 8.10pm (day 1,557)

Cinema foyer, 29/11/15

I’m a regular visitor here (and even my frequency pales into insignificance compared to Clare, who goes here at least once a week on average). Tonight it was a documentary about the selling-off of the old Haçienda nightclub in Manchester. Whatever the feature, these guys will be in the foyer, one selling tickets, the other the snacks and alcohol. I stand by my assessment that this is Hebden Bridge’s best community asset.

We are top of the league, I said we are top of the league

Saturday 28th November 2015, 5.05pm (day 1,556)

Top of the league, 28/11/15

Oh go on. I know it’s a cheat, but indulge me this once. Who knows, it might not happen again.

Aflame

Tuesday 24th November 2015, 4.15pm (day 1,552)

Aflame, 24/11/15

Posted for much the same underlying reasons as yesterday’s pic of the frosty roofscape: because the winter chill is starting to seep through these increasingly old bones, there is pleasure to be found in watching things burn. So, fire today, ice yesterday: tomorrow I might try luke-warm water. (Spinal Tap joke.)

The winner is announced

Friday 20th November 2015, 8.25pm (day 1,548)

Bond night, 21/11/15

For the opening of Spectre at the Hebden Bridge Picture House, a gala fancy dress evening was declared (let there be joy & celebration, let jubilation reign, etc). Did the guy in his swimming trunks, or Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die win? Neither in fact. The guy in the jet pack was declared the winner.

Waiting for the late train

Friday 13th November 2015, 8.10am (day 1,541)

Waiting room, 13/11/15

I will spare Northern Rail further public shaming regarding their performance over the last two days…. oh what the hell, why should I. It’s been dreadful. I got a train this morning that was 35 minutes and two trains earlier than the one which should have got me to work on time and I still barely made it. Here, I and others wait out the ineptitude in the waiting room on platform 1 of Hebden Bridge station; the woman on the far left has busted the photographer.

Guitar in pub, Sunday evening

Sunday 25th October 2015, 8.50pm (day 1,522)

Guitar, 25/10/15

Took Clare out tonight as it is her birthday tomorrow. Proof I am not normally the dirty-stop-out type comes by noting this is the latest shot in any given day for three months, since 24th July. But the clocks went back last night, it was dark by 5pm so I have to get used to shooting in low light again.
