Clare at Noma

Saturday 12th May 2012, 1.50pm (day 261)

Noma, 12/5/12

So this is the real reason I wanted to spend time in Copenhagen: the chance to eat at one of the world’s best restaurants, without a doubt. I made this booking some three months ago, but here we are, halfway through a meal of fifteen (count ’em) courses; I’ve just polished off an oyster that tasted just like the sea, and the chefs even prepared a whole alternative menu for Clare as she is lactose-intolerant, so she’s eating some caramelised onions and, as you can see from the look on her face, thoroughly enjoying it. Behind the oyster you can see what was definitely – and I mean definitely – the Best Butter in the World – and I wish I could have recorded every course. This was definitely the most expensive meal I have ever had – but we got what we paid for, it was definitely the best, too. If you are in the area and have the means, I highly recommend it.

Røde Mor (Red Momma) beer

Thursday 10th May 2012, 9.05pm (day 259)

Røde Mor, 10/5/12

After the conference dinner this evening we were herded into a room and plied with free beer. It could be worse…. Røde Mor means ‘Red Momma’ (Røde Modre would be ‘Red Mother’) and is one of many products of Nyborg’s local Refsvindinge Brewery which have kept me going these last couple of days. Cool label too. Should you be here I strongly recommend it.

Clare in the bathroom

Sunday 6th May 2012, 1.50pm (day 255)

Clare, bathroom, 6/5/12

The world outside struggles slowly into something that resembles spring. Meanwhile, in our house, an ordinary kind of Sunday; Clare in red corsetry reading a book in the bathroom, and wondering whether the blue ball in the bath is going to spring into life, like Rover in The Prisoner.

Empty clothes shop

Wednesday 25th April 2012, 8.45am (day 244)

Empty shop, 25/4/12

I’m sure there was a functioning shop here the last time I looked (which was probably last week some time). But its gone now. Reflections on a shot are normally annoying, but here they don’t harm it, I think. You get a double dose of the photographer as well, if you look carefully.

Today is the eight-month point of the blog, which means I am two-thirds of the way through my intended project – to take and post a representative picture for every day of the year.

Dentist’s waiting room

Tuesday 17th April 2012, 3.40pm (day 236)

Waiting room, 17/4/12

Spent most of the day working at home and otherwise around familiar haunts. Only the six-monthly visit to the dentist’s gave opportunity for much variety and even then I had done the ‘treatment’ picture already. So here’s an abstract.

My Lake District pinboard

Monday 9th April 2012, 12.50pm (day 228)

Lakes pinboard, 9/4/12

Day spent mainly re-stocking shelves in the newly decorated bedroom, so not much to document. The pinboard which helps me keep track of the Lake District fells I still have to climb has not yet found a place in the new room, but that at least enabled me to see it from a different angle today. What you see here is a slice through the southern part of the district. Red pins are those fells in the 214 which I haven’t climbed yet. (I could tell you what the other colours mean, but then I’d have to kill you.) I’m getting itchy to go again but the weather’s terrible at the moment.

Keynote speakers, 3/4/12

Jon Dron and Terry Anderson, of Athabasca University in Canada, get ready for their keynote speech at the Networked Learning conference. And very interesting it was too.

School gym during building works

Saturday 17th March 2012, 10.05am (day 205)

School gym, 17/3/12

A group of volunteers are renovating a room at Joe’s school and using the gym as a workspace. Happened to pop in today (was bringing food), hence this shot. It’s got nothing to do with Ireland, in case you were wondering.

The Pelirocco hotel, Brighton

Sunday 11th March 2012, 9.15am (day 199)

Hotel Pelirocco, 11/3/12

It’s about time this place appeared on the blog. I probably visit Brighton about three or four times a year, and always stay here. If you want double glazing, thermostat-controlled air conditioning, bidets and trouser presses in your room, stay somewhere else. If these things don’t matter to you and you’re in Brighton: then I highly recommend it.

Today’s guest lecturer – Morgan Spurlock

Monday 27th February 2012, 2.10pm (day 186)

M&IL_class, 27/2/12

It’s the 15th consecutive day in which I’ve left (or not been in) Hebden Bridge. I’m tired. I needed someone else to teach the Media & Information Literacy class, and in this incarnation, Morgan comes cheap and is quite entertaining.
