Further repetition

Wednesday 29th April 2026, 5.50pm (day 5,361)

The houses on Windsor Road in Hebden Bridge always make a good subject and I think this is the sixth time they have appeared on here by now — but it’s been fifteen years, so I ask for that to be taken into consideration when judging my claim to want to avoid repeition on here. Definitely an effective illustration of certain engineering principles though, and of variations on a theme . I make it that there are forty windows visible on this shot in whole or in part, all the same, but all just that little bit different too.

Bus stop under blossom

Friday 24th April 2026, 3.15pm (day 5,356)

Bus stop and blossom, 24/4/26

The sun continues to shine and it was far too nice a day to extend the whole ‘working at home’ thing past about 3pm, particularly bearing in mind it is now the weekend (cf. yesterday’s comment). These people may well be on their way home too as they wait for the hourly bus to Haworth and Keighley.

Ambient sculpture

Thursday 16th April 2026, 3.35pm (day 5,348)

Red stuff site, 16/4/26

Is it a flower? A back-scratcher for use in some gargantuan shower? The severed limb of a creature with a fetish for chain-link jewellry? (I think that’s it for my free-association work.)

On the Old Bridge

Tuesday 14th April 2026, 9.25am (day 5,346)

Old bridge, 14/4/26

I cnanot think of anything deep to say about this one, except that it represents a day spent at home not doing much. This is a variable time of year; in mid-April in some other years I have been in Ljubljana, Melbourne and Windhoek, but this year all the spring travelling is already done.

Al fresco

Thursday 2nd April 2024, 12.40pm (day 5,334)

Outdoor seating, 2/4/26

Good to be home, and on a pleasant day. There are new places to sit. Or, some kind of artwork. If it wasn’t then, it is now.

House view with blue

Monday 23rd March 2026, 10.15am (day 5,324)

House view with blue, 23/3/26

On 23rd March 2026, nothing happened. At least not to me anyway. Down there in town a blue truck parks itself in that gap we perceive in the buildings and offers something to look at. And so I get through another day.

Sunday morning on the canal

Sunday 22nd March 2026, 11.00am (day 5,323)

Geese on canal, 22/3/26

Although not as mild as it has been, today felt like one of those Sundays where it was perfectly permissible to take it easy. And in my local area, there are worse places to do this than down by — or in these guys’ case, on — the canal.

Dinner out with family

Friday 20th March 2026, 7.45pm (day 5,321)

Thai meal, 20/3/26

I know my sister Vicki follows this blog, so let me say that it was, as always, nice to see them in Hebden Bridge tonight. This is a picture of her and Pete (the tattoos are the giveaway) and not one of a Thai corn ball, even though that does form the foreground.

Waiting for the 9:57

Tuesday 3rd March 2026, 9.55am (day 5,304)

Hebden Bridge station, 3/3/26

Yes, it was a comfortably late start to the day but then again I am still teaching until 6pm on Tuesdays. Much more preferable to go in later, particularly as we are, finally, having some pleasant weather.

Busy doing nothing

Monday 23rd February 2026, 11.35am (day 5,296)

Busy doing nothing, 23/2/26

A state to which I aspire? Well, it would be nice. In fact I’m unsure I even want to be particularly busy with it. But I’m not there yet, and even if I was, I couldn’t live on a boat. At least, not one without a substantial and comfortable bathroom, which, I’m led to believe, most do not have.
