On a gloriously sunny Saturday, there are many worse places to be than by the seaside in Brighton, believe me.

Chequers pub, Brighton
Friday 21st October 2016, 10.35pm (day 1,884)
It’s Clare’s birthday on Wednesday, one of those significant ones — or rather, one that we culturally choose to assign significance to because it has a zero at the end. Anyway, the celebrations are taking place in various locations over the next few days and start this weekend with her & I going down to Brighton, where this shot is taken. It’s a mess I know, but so are most things by 10.35pm on a Friday night out; the time makes this the latest shot on the blog since June 2015.
Circle Square rises
Tuesday 18th October 2016, 9.40am (day 1,881)
Point one’s camera in almost any direction in Manchester these days and one will hit a building site. This particular one — to be known, once complete, as ‘Circle Square’ (you have to cringe just a little bit) — is on the site of the old BBC building. Creative destruction….? Something to record, at least.
Another beautiful morning
Monday 17th October 2016, 8.40am (day 1,880)
It really has been a fine run of weather over the last two months and still shows no real signs of becoming unpleasant. My train to Manchester this morning was 15 minutes late and I cared not at all, just 15 minutes longer to hang out in the sunshine and take pictures.
This year’s habaneros
Sunday 16th October 2016, 1.50pm (day 1,879)
Look what’s been ripening away beautifully on my bedroom window sill while I was away in Prague. This house is now self-sufficient in habaneros. You want some wicked fresh chili peppers, this is the place to come.
Post-match press conference
Saturday 15th October 2016, 5.10pm (day 1,878)
Rochdale FC’s manager Keith Hill takes questions from representatives of the local media, who, for some unfathomable reason, included me amongst their ranks this afternoon. His team had just beaten Bury FC 2-0, but that didn’t necessarily make him the jolliest of interviewees.
Nutclough castle
Friday 14th October 2016, 4.50pm (day 1,877)
This shot is taken not twenty yards from my house, but I think it sustains a suitably Eastern European feeling. Particularly with the bats — or whatever — circling ominously above.
In Prague airport
Thursday 13th October 2016, 4.00pm (day 1,876)
My six days in Prague come to an end. It’s a very beautiful city, if you’ve never been, you should visit. I know the sign on this shot looks wonky: it’s funny how the camera can distort perspective quite easily sometimes.
