White Christmas?

Thursday 25th December 2014, 12.30pm (day 1,218)

Xmas shower, 25/12/14

Well, it may have been snow. Only I and the nearest meteorologist know for sure. A happy Christmas to one and all, wherever you may be, whatever you may have done.

Great Court, British Museum

Friday 19th December 2014, 3.30pm (day 1,212)

Great Court, 19/12/14

A weekend in London, and a second appearance on the blog this year for the British Museum — well, it’s too big to see on one trip. As you’ll see from tomorrow’s picture as well, I’m in a monochrome mood just now.

Canal, November evening

Friday 21st November 2014, 4.45pm (day 1,184)

Canal towpath, 21/11/14

Didn’t even take a photo today until after the sun went down, which at this time of year is pretty early, and it’s going to get earlier yet. The evening was a very damp one, and hopefully this shot of the canal towpath reflects that (pun not intended).

Cobbles, Hebden Bridge

Saturday 25th October 2014, 11.25am (day 1,157)

Cobbles, 25/10/14

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.

The front room at the pub

Sunday 21st September 2014, 4.20pm (day 1,123)

Pub front_room, 21/9/14

Fifth day in a row in which I have gone no further from my house than a quarter-mile away. Third day in five in which the picture of the day has been a pub. Such has been my life since Wednesday morning. It’ll change tomorrow. At least the sun came out today, and we had something other than all the recent gray crap.

Watching ‘Pulp Fiction’

Sunday 14th September 2014, 8.10pm (day 1,116)

Pulp Fiction, 14/9/14

Hebden Bridge’s best community asset is its superb cinema, particularly as it is still council- rather than corporate-owned. I particularly think this when it spends the evening showing a 20-year old film just because it’s a great movie and deserves — as do all movies — to be seen on a big screen, as the director intended. And the bit when Marvin’s head gets blown off is still one of the funniest and most bad-taste deaths in cinema history.

OK, this shot’s a bit fuzzy, but hey, you try getting something under these conditions…. Actually I quite like this one.

Bubble wrap

Sunday 9th March 2014, 1.45pm (day 927)

Bubble wrap, 9/3/14

We are still getting through the packing for Joe’s birthday presents. Is it possible to resist the lure of bubble wrap?
