First snow of the winter

Thursday 30th November 2023, 12.10am (day 4,480)

Snow dusting, red light, 30/11/23

OK, it’s not much, but the first snow of the season fell on Hebden Bridge while I was out in Blackburn last night. It didn’t last, but here it is. A curiosity: one of the few pictures used to represent a day despite being taken before going to bed the night before; in fact in pure calendar terms this is the earliest ever shot in all the 4,480 days so far. Times on here are rounded to the nearest five minutes, but this does take the award from the previous holder, 27th September 2014, by one minute and twelve seconds: the exact timestamp on this shot is 00:08:03.

Heading home

Wednesday 29th November 2023, 9.50pm (day 4,479)

Leaving Ewood Park, 29/11/23

The match is over, they are happy their team won (these are Blackburn Rovers fans) but it’s a cold night — time to go home. Which I also tried to do from this point, but another two hours were to pass before I enjoyed its comforts. That’s another story however.

November sunshine, campus

Tuesday 28th November 2023, 11.30am (day 4,478)

November sunshine, 28/11/23

At this time of year you just take what comes, when it comes to the weather. This week it appears to be coming sunny — though cold. As you can see, most of the leaves are gone, but a few trees are still determined to sustain their blaze of glory for a little while longer yet.

Restaurant (or, other people’s dinner)

Monday 27th November 2023, 6.45pm (day 4,477)

Thai restaurant, 27/11/23

Bringing a fun (but unphotographed) afternoon to an end with a good meal out. The tilt on the shot is intended to be artistic and spontaneous, but really just reflects my intention to not be too obviously taking a photograph of the table next door to ours.

Old Earth, Sunday afternoon

Sunday 26th November 2023, 3.10pm (day 4,476)

Old Earth football, 26//11/23

It’s been a while since the ‘pure football’ post went up, but what the hell, Old Earth — the ground of Huddersfield Amateur FC — has good landscape potential; in fact, the ground’s featured on here twice before, and constitutes the entirety of appearances for the town of Elland (because of course Huddersfield Amateur don’t play in Huddersfield). Sunday afternoon and the women take centre stage: visitors Golcar United, on the ball here in green and black, won this encounter 3-2. The focus seems to have worked out nicely on this shot.

On York Minster

Saturday 25th November 2023, 2.55pm (day 4,475)

York Minster, 25/11/23

On the tourist trail today, and boy were there a lot of them, or should I say us. People everywhere, cramming the narrow streets of York, maybe they were enjoying themselves or maybe they were just participating, robot-like in the early stages of the now-mandated 7-week Thou Shalt Shop And Wear Silly Jumpers period: a reminder to some, there’s a whole month yet before Christmas Day. Anyway, this included walking past the Minster, as one does in York, and taking pictures of the people taking pictures — surely I appear on the shots captured by the woman in the red hat and the guy two places to her left.

Birchcliffe Road

Friday 24th November 2023, 12.45pm (day 4,474)

Birchcliffe Road, 24/11/23

A bright day, but cold. This was a shot where, contrary to almost all other occasions, I actually wanted a car to come past. The wire annoys, but only a little.

The morning cattle truck, at Rochdale

Thursday 23rd November 2023, 9.00am (day 4,473)

Rochdale, busy train, 23/11/23

Not only did this peak hour train turn up with half the usual number of carriages, thus assigning itself instant CTS (Cattle Truck Status) — but it was also 23 minutes late at this point, being scheduled to pass through Rochdale at 8.37. Grin and bear it? Bollocks to that, I wasn’t grinning at this point, put it that way.

Bus stop

Wednesday 22nd November 2023, 4.50pm (day 4,472)

Bus stop, 22/11/23

It is, of course, wholly dark by 4.50pm at this time of year. Scant weeks ago this guy would have been waiting for his bus home in balmy sunshine. But so it is for all of us.

Dinner: early start

Tuesday 21st November 2023, 2.25pm (day 4,471)

Cooking pot, 21/11/23

Enmeshed in the first major bout of marking of the year, today was the first day for quite a while where I never left the house, so you weren’t getting anything unusual. Dinner wasn’t eaten until 8pm, so this was a definite slow cook, but this particular recipe needs time. And plenty of herbs.
