Friends…

Monday 28th April 2025, 6.40pm (day 4,995)

Friends with God, 28/4/25

On Saturday it will be day 5,000 of the blog, but I won’t be leading up to this milestone with an eventful week. Having done four trips abroad already in 2025, thus, one a month, it’s time to stay at home for a while and Write Up. Writing Up is the one obligation I owe from these travels and the sooner it is done, the better. None of this has anything to do with today’s picture except to offer a reason why I was in the pub again. I suppose today is an effort at a collage, although a very random one.

Am I claiming some status via this pamphlet? No, someone was just making suggestions. Anyway if by God you mean The Planet then I’m all for that.

End of the week

Friday 28th March 2025, 4.15pm (day 4,964)

Steve and Dex, 28/3/25

The week ends where quite a few of them do. Neither Steve nor Dex look particularly enthused by the prospect, but the weekend remains young.

Trixie does her close-ups

Thursday 20th March 2025, 3.20pm (day 4,956)

Trixie, close up, 20/3/25

Fellow pack member Trixie gets her close ups done, and as a result becomes the latest animal to make a confirmed second appearance on the blog (her debut was on 3/4/24). I think between us we just about got the focus right.

On watch

Sunday 9th March 2025, 2.05pm (day 4,945)

Dog and feet, 9/3/25

The weather was no worse today, and perhaps I should have made more of this, but I had done a few miles yesterday and there seemed little need to go any further than the pub, with the outside tables filling up for the first time this year. Long may the sunshine last — which of course it won’t, in Britain it never does. This couple stayed for only a short time, so presumably were being more active.

Pub Pinocchio

Wednesday 26th February 2025, 5.30pm (day 4,934)

Pub Pinocchio, 26/2/25

Pinocchio joined us in the Railway this afternoon courtesy of Toby, the Gepetto in this particular relationship. Toby makes things, it’s what he does, and he’s pretty good at it too. But even he declared this particular creation to be ‘a bit creepy’. Perhaps all puppets are, to some extent.

Friday evening crew

Friday 7th February 2025, 5.45pm (day 4,915)

Now I’m at home, the risk is run of having nothing particularly interesting or different to photograph — and that was certainly the case today. With apologies to my friends gathered around the fire for the usual Friday evening transition, who are of course interesting (most of the time) but maybe not all that different, at least, not to me.

Getting the fire going

Monday 25th November 2024, 4.15pm (day 4,841)

Stoking the fire, 25/11/24

It’s gone from ‘cold and crisp’ to ‘chilly and damp’ so there’s still a need to get the fire going. Indeed this task is not just the responsibility, but the active duty, of those who drink in the Railway during the early shift.

Stan the stickerer

Friday 22nd November 2024, 5.45pm (day 4,838)

Stan the Stickerer, 22/11/24

You might not be able to tell this from the photos posted but, work-wise, it’s been a very busy week. Time to let off some steam on the Friday evening. Of course, because we are all middle-aged these days, these high jinks amounted to little more than Stan surreptitiously stickering the back of Mark’s hat, but that is about our level these days.

High score (withdrawal)

Wednesday 6th November 2024, 5.25pm (day 4,822)

There are plenty of reasons today to withdraw from active engagement with the world, and offer up a shit photo that highlights a slightly pleasing aspect of the day (29 million is a pretty good score on this machine). And, so, I do.

Karaoke setup

Sunday 3rd November 2024, 5.00pm (day 4,819)

Karaoke guy, 3/11/24

A typical Sunday afternoon scene in the Railway, Hebden Bridge. The crow is a bit of added Halloween ambience, but otherwise, we could be on any weekend in the year…. and this guy is here, every weekend.
