Tuesday 16th February 2016, 9.40am (day 1,636)
Broke the drive back from Aberystwyth at this cafe in Llangollen, north-east Wales. Clare and Joe ponder the meaning of the universe or possibly just a very good few days.

Clare and Joe at ‘Star Wars’
Tuesday 19th January 2016, 7.55pm (day 1,608)
As the title of the post states — here are the two of them at the new Star Wars movie. Now, I have no intention of offering any spoilers… but who knows, perhaps there are none to offer.
Joe (St Pauli top)
Sunday 3rd January 2016, 10.50am (day 1,592)
Joe was born in March 2003, meaning that very soon I will be starting on my first and, assuredly, last experience of being the father of a teenager. He looks ready for it; no idea if I am. At least his St Pauli top (two years and five months old – evidence here) still fits. This was a photowhack — the only picture I took today.
Joe blows stuff up
Monday 21st December 2015, noon (day 1,579)
Joe has two weeks off school. I think it’s fair enough that he can spend the first weekday of this break lying around on his bed doing what it says on the door. One and a half more days of work for me and then I will gladly join in.
Last day of the school summer holiday
Monday 7th September 2015, 4.30pm (day 1,474)
Seems an awful long time since Joe was at school, but he returns tomorrow, which therefore also marks the resumption of Clare’s school-related job duties. So today was the last day of anything resembling a ‘summer holiday’ for either of them. They mourned its passing by knocking hell out of each other at Warhammer. Clare won convincingly, so I heard.
Clare, Joe and insects
Saturday 18th July 2015, 8.10pm (day 1,423)
Walking home after a barbecue at a friend’s house. I like this photo partly because of the way the sunset light has caught the clouds of insects accompanying us on our journey, but also because when Clare saw this on the camera she went “bloody hell, he’s as tall as I am”. Which is true, now she comes to mention it.
Handmade Parade preparations
Sunday 31st May 2015, 2.05pm (day 1,375)
The Handmade Parade is probably Hebden Bridge’s best annual photo-opportunity, explaining why it’s appeared in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and will again next Sunday. But, for the first time, here’s a capture of the preparations, with me not bothered this year that I know what Clare and Joe’s costume will be in advance. I love the chaos of this shot; imagine all the parade squashed up inside a single building, and there you have it.
Dentist’s waiting room (with Joe)
Wednesday 15th April 2015, 4.00pm (day 1,329)
Not the most exciting photo. Not the most exciting day. But the PC Gamer magazine shines bright and interesting, as far as Joe is concerned.
Potato clock
Monday 5th January 2015, 6.30pm (day 1,229)
It’s a small digital clock powered by two zinc and two copper rods stuck into two potatoes. Hence, a potato clock. Well, the run of landscape shots had to come to an end at some point, but I guess we can still call this ‘nature’?
iPad boy
Sunday 7th December 2014, 5.10pm (day 1,200)
The 21st century child passes his time… Sunday afternoon in the pub. Joe on iPad duty.
