Some of the pages from my last “365” project in 2015.

Day 86/365

Here is the cover of the book I had printed for my last “365” project back in 2015. I did begin another one in 2016 but found that I missed too many days to make it an accurate project. I am determined to not fail in 2018!

Day 85/365

Today I lettered two vans for a long standing and repeat client. I enjoy doing his work and today, down a little country lane at his storage depot, with the lovely, warm spring weather, it was a good job to do.

Day 84/365

A day of power washing the patio and general tidying ahead of me, so I wore my work jeans. The thing is, are they right on trend? I see lots of ripped denim on folk when I am out and about. I just wonder if the paint stains one my pair are too fashionable. Or,…

Day 83/365

This is the gate I made for Ma and Pa. Installed today after weeks of bad weather and unavailability delaying proceedings. If I say so myself, it looks rather nice.

Day 82/365

Finally! After days of confusion and worry caused by IT issues at the AXS website, today we received our email and confirmation of our tickets for Country 2 Country 2019. An image of my camera bag and its new C2C patch to celebrate.

Day 81/365

I spent yesterday and today building a fence and gate at the Ma-In-Law’s. It was a dual purpose exercise as she was having some windows replaced and wanted to be away from the house so that her puppy wouldn’t get in the way. I had volunteered, been volunteered?, to be there to supervise. And, coincidentally,…

Six and a half eggs today from our ladies. Well. Six normal sized and one small egg.

Some new additions to my Billingham camera bag were added today.

Creating suspense. A workshop by Liz Mistry.

Yesterday, Saturday 17th March 2018, I attended a two hour workshop on “Creating Suspense”. Hosted by Liz Mistry, the Bradford based crime author, the workshop was part of 2018’s Huddersfield Literature Festival. The workshop was well attended and was a thoroughly enjoyable event. Liz gave us plenty of advice and thought provoking ideas designed to help…

Day 76/365

It snowed again late this afternoon and into the night. Elphie is poking her head through the curtains and blinds keeping a watchful eye on it.

Day 75/365

I was mooching around the bookshelves in the room at Halifax’s new library where we meet for our writers group and came across this intriguingly tilted volume. It was locked inside a glass case.
