This dog’s actual name is Finn, but with eyes like that the nickname David Bow-wow just seems right to me. He’s one of the more affectionate creatures you will meet.

An inanimate object with a secret inner life
Tuesday 27th March 2018, 12.10pm (day 2,406)
It’s student video-making season: Sissi (bottom left) becomes the latest to come to my office and point a camera at me for sundry purposes. While she reviewed her footage, I became intrigued by her tripod. This is an inanimate object with a secret inner life if ever there was one. People go to certain clubs dressed like this.
On a Sunday afternoon walk
Sunday 28th January 2018, 3.45pm (day 2,348)
“Come on a walk, they said. Lots of balls and squirrels to chase, they said. Hmmph. This don’t match my idea of fun. There aren’t even any crisps to eat.”
Left behind?

As the St. George’s Square market packs up for the night, you can’t help wondering if one of the stall holders has forgotten something.
Waiting
Saturday 18th November 2017, 12.25pm (day 2,277)
In 2017, particularly since early June, I have been quite mobile, with lots of photos taken elsewhere. Where there have been bouts of time spent mainly at home they haven’t lasted long. But for the rest of the year, at least, this will change; if I do go elsewhere it’ll be for a walk or a football match, and that’ll be all. We are on Hebden time for a while. I hope I seem happier about this than this dog did today.
Sunny afternoon
Saturday 1st April 2017, 5.10pm (day 2,046)
An inactive day, even indolent, but this was much needed. Sunny later, with the promise of spring in the air and look, Japan — we have blossoms too!
Waiting in the rain
Monday 21st November 2016, 8.55am (day 1,915)
Wettest day for months today — a pretty grim day all round. I was not the only one who’d rather have been inside. Fortunately I spent most of it working at home, and this was a photowhack — the one and only picture I took today.
Beer garden

Still sunny… but that little bit chillier, as we pass the Equinox and head into autumn.
In the park
Tuesday 5th July 2016, 5.30pm (day 1,776)
Perhaps this shot would have been better with either one group or the other, but I like the split-screen nature of it with both. A nice evening in Hebden Bridge, much more amenable weather than in Manchester for most of the day, which is where I was.
Ellie and Maggie
Sunday 3rd July 2016, 3.00pm (day 1,774)
Back in January 2015 Ellie (left, at that time aged 8 months) and Maggie (right) appeared on the blog in consecutive days; here they are together. Hard to credit that in the intervening 18 months Ellie has grown from a baby into a little girl with an entire functioning vocabulary. Time passes, we all change…
