Day 57 – 365

Day 57 – 365 / February 26th 2015 I rather like tape measures. My family will testify to this fact. But, in my defence, I do use a tape measure every day in my job and need them readily to hand. In fact I have a few of them in different sizes, lengths and varying…

Day 56 – 365

Day 56 – 365 / February 25th 2015 Another image taken while walking the mutts. Right smack in the middle of the single track road that goes through the cemetery lay this poor little frog. He was dead – well, it is a cemetery after all! Surprisingly, when I came upon him (or was he…

Day 55 – 365

Day 55 – 365 / February 24th 2015 This day in 2013; a day I never forget. Take one major domestic cup final (League Cup) and add one top class football venue (Wembley), then add one Premier League side (Swansea City) costing millions of pounds. Finally add one fourth tier football team (my beloved Bradford…

Day 54 – 365

Day 54 – 365 / February 23rd 2015 Spring is springing. Despite the perishing cold of today my bulbs are looking natty. I look forward to seeing their full majesty in due course.

Day 53 – 365

Day 53 – 365 / February  22nd 2015 I was lucky, I only spent a little over two hours in an online queue to get tickets for my beloved Bradford City’s first FA Cup Quarter Final tie in 39 years. Other fans waited 3, 4, 5, 6 and, in a few cases, up to 9…

Day 52 – 365

Day 52 – 365 / February 21st 2015 This is Elphie The Puppy Mini Schnauzer after she had her very first trim. You cannot see the whole effect as she is laid down, but here is her face. After being very furry for weeks she can now see clearly as her eyes aren’t hidden behind…

Day 51 – 365

Day 51 – 365 / February 20th 2015 Now this, the 51st image in my “365” Project, is one that I am very happy with. If you have been reading any of my recent blog entries then you will know that I am involved in a project to raise funds for the Bradford Burns Unit…

Day 50 – 365

Day 50 -365 / February 19th 2015 Fifty up. If I were an England opening batsman I’d be walking to the middle of the wicket, removing my helmet and raising my bat into the air. I would then turn to each side of Lord’s and point my bat towards the fans in the stand by…

Day 49 – 365

Day 49 – 365 / February 18th 2015 In case any of you are curious as to what the beard and eyebrows of a pedigree Miniature Schnauzer look like after the, aforementioned, Miniature Schnauzer has had it’s nose in a jug of custard and a pot of tea, then be curious no longer.

Day 48 – 365

Day 48 – 365 / February 17th 2015 A display and sign seem tonight at IKEA near Leeds. Whilst I do not doubt that summer is coming, on this cold night in February, I disagree that “Summer Is Almost Here”.

Day 47 – 365

Day 47 – 365 / February 16th 2015 It’s nice to spend some time in the limelight. Failing that it’s nice to make a sign that says “Limelight”. This is one such sign. Acrylic letters mounted onto a composite aluminium substrate using plastic locators. The substrate is faced in two shades of green vinyl. The…

Day 46 – 365

Day 46 – 365 / February 15th 2015 That hand you see here, apart from being a fine example of a left hand, is clenched into a fist. A fist displaying delight, determination, celebration and joy. It is a also my fist and was formed split seconds, possibly at the very moment, after Jon Stead…

Day 45 – 365

Day 45 – 365 / February 14th 2015 As it is Valentines Day, today’s “365” image is of my little Maggie. What a beauty!

Day 44 – 365

Day 44 – 365 / February 13th 2015 One of life’s little, but great, pleasures awaits in this image. Namely, the moment when you peel that seal from the top of a new jar of coffee. The rich, wonderful, smell of coffee that greets you. The deep breath you inhale as you savour the heady,…
