Bless ’em, look, they’re all working…. only took all year 🙂 We have entered the last week of teaching for me in Manchester in 2015-16.

New Market, Manchester (building site)
Tuesday 3rd May 2016, 9.30am (day 1,713)
The street of New Market makes, I think, its third appearance on this blog, with its transition from well-lit back street to building site to today’s, well, building site having been documented over the last two years. Reduced now to a mere alley, the fence that bounds it on the right is captured, distorted, in the side wall of Boots on the other side. It’s actually quite hard to get a photo of Manchester city centre that doesn’t somehow show it as a building site at this point in time.
Grown men acting silly

Even on May Day this kind of behaviour is inexcusable. Really, you shouldn’t do this kind of thing in public, guys.
Out for a walk, Central London
Saturday 30th April 2016, 12.15pm (day 1,710)
This was an urban animal if ever I’ve seen one, striding out wholly purposefully this lunchtime along a busy street. I know the composition of this shot could be better — getting rid of the post behind the goose would have improved it for a start — but some shots you only really get one chance to capture.
Waiting for the London train
Friday 29th April 2016, 7.00pm (day 1,709)
The pattern of photos on this blog is a simple reflection of my life. So as I spend a healthy proportion of my time in railway stations, there are a lot of photos of railway stations. Two in a row with this one and its nice lines and patterns. Like this woman Clare and I too were waiting for the evening train to London, in our case for a night out. I do have a social life you know.
Station subway

I just like the lines of redness, sliding down the stairs until they spill out into the kid’s coat.
Edge of campus
Wednesday 27th April 2016, 12.55pm (day 1,707)
Since the teaching term recommenced for me on 13th April I have offered 15 consecutive pictures either at home in Hebden or in Manchester for work. The fence on the left of this shot represents the limit of my present world.
I know this would perhaps be a better photo if the traffic cone in the middle distance weren’t there. But while I could have moved it, I say that on this blog no shot is posed or staged in any way. So let’s see it as just one of those little blemishes that proves the fallibility of all my efforts, or something like that.
Fridge door decoration

Another Monday spent at home working…. working… all work… all work and no play?
Sunday afternoon snack
Sunday 24th April 2016, 3.20pm (day 1,704)
Although a chillier day today than it has been, I think we can still say that spring is here. Not sure whether these two were feeding themselves, or the ducks in the river below their feet (and cropped out of shot), but either way the title still applies. Why the black and white? Why not? Sometimes the colours just don’t work out so well.
