Chequers pub, Brighton

Friday 21st October 2016, 10.35pm (day 1,884)

Chequers pub, 21/10/16

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.

Beer garden, 22/9/16

Still sunny… but that little bit chillier, as we pass the Equinox and head into autumn.

Beer Hall, Clitheroe

Beer Hall, 4/9/16

A good weekend ends with us being taken out to lunch here, courtesy of my parents who had been Joe-sitting while we were in London. I like the perspective of this shot, the lighting and the general symmetry. The beer was quite good too…

John B and Carol

Friday 26th August 2016, 5.15pm (day 1,828)

John B and Carol, 26/8/16

So let me start this blog’s 6th year, and mark my 47th birthday, by putting up a photo of someone else… After so long doing this, people are going to start reappearing after a gap of some years and this is true of John B, who first graced these pages back in November 2011. Carol can join the cast for the first time.

Outside Calan’s

Saturday 20th August 2016, 4.25pm (day 1,822)

Outside Calan's, 20/8/16

It’s a Saturday, it’s a time for relaxation, and drinking. It’s still raining. It’s the Hebden Bridge “Steampunk” theme weekend, what this really does to advance the cause of social justice I haven’t worked out yet but people turn up in places dressed in Victoriana. All these things combine in today’s shot.

Family gathering

Thursday 11th August 2016, 5.00pm (day 1,813)

Family gathering, 11/8/16

As I start back at work on Sunday, I would like to make the most of the remaining days of the holiday; hence today’s family gathering. My Dad (well, some of him) makes his fourth appearance on the blog; my Mum (somewhat shamefully, perhaps) her second, Clare and Joe, you know.

The sun comes out

Sunday 17th July 2016, 5.50pm (day 1,788)

Chilling, 17/7/16

Sunday afternoon at the pub, one of the first pleasantly sunny and agreeable days in weeks. I mean, the world is still a bag of shit, but there’s music, tobacco, beer, sunshine.

Ancient Mariner

Ancient mariner, 9/7/16

One of my more indolent weekends. In twenty years’ time I’ll probably be this guy.

Welcome back

Friday 1st July 2016, 5.25pm (day 1,772)

Calan's, 1/7/16

Gradually, the businesses damaged in the floods of 26th December are reopening. This is Calans, a small pub in the town centre that only opened in the first place about a month before the flood. Welcome back indeed, the beer inside is very fine (free advertising).

White Lion yard, 5/6/16

Sunday afternoon, and a lazy one. Well, it was a very warm and sunny day and the last few days have been busy enough.
