Day 253 – 365 / September 10th 2015 September 10th 2015. My 27th wedding anniversary. And I am home alone. That’s right, HOME ALONE. My darling wife has, on this day 27 years to the day since we wed AND 31 years to the day since we met, deserted me and gone traipsing around the Med…

 Day 252 – 365 / September 9th 2015 Who, you may ask, is this bearded chap. No, he is not the bearded one (the chap, not the lady) from the “Joy of Sex” guide from the 1970s. He is Keith Wildman, Bradford City fan and owner of “The Record Cafe” in that fair city. Here he…

 Day 251 – 365 / September 8th 2015 My notes for the characters in my book “The Kerning”. The main character is Lister. He’s a man who has done many bad things. Very bad things. But, hopefully, you’ll like him.

 Day 250 – 365 / September 7th 2015 Tomorrow my lovely wife goes on a cruise with her mum. In preparation for my week alone I have tidied my office and desk. My intention is to crack on with writing my book.

 Day 249 – 365 / September 6th 2015 A snippet from the newspaper today. Our recent signing, striker Devante Cole (see of Andrew Cole), continues to impress.

 Day 248 – 365 / September 5th 2015 Just a random picture of Valley Parade for you today. Why not?

 Day 247 – 365 / September 4th 2015 Remember the charity shop table from a few days ago? Well, this is what we bought in there. A great long cuddly snake for our puppy, Elphie, to play with. She adores it. A full pound very well spent.

 Day 246 – 365 / September 3rd 2015 Ooh! An advert in today’s paper for the play we are seeing soon. I am so looking forward to seeing a true star of the silver screen on stage and for it to be the lovely Nicole Kidman, my favourite actress (actor?), is a huge thrill.

 Day 245 – 365 / September 2nd 2015 A hand written sign on a table full of, let’s be honest, crap, outside a local charity shop.

 Day 244 – 365 / September 1st 2015 An odd day today. I rushed to finish a job so that I could meet Jeremy and Liz at Valley Parade in time for us to be interviewed by the local press in regards to Turnstylewear – the business we have set up to make caps and trapper…

 Day 243 – 365 / August 31st 2015 Here is Maggie The Mini Schnauzer. This image was taken as I laid in bed and she clambered all over me trying to get herself comfortable. I ended up getting out of bed.

 Day 242 – 365 / August 30th 2015 My great friend Steve is a Leyton Orient fan. yes, I know, I was stunned that such folk existed too. Anyway, I have known him for many years and he is a sound chap. Last season his beloved O’s were relegated just a year after competing in the…

 Day 241 – 365 / August 29th 2015 The August Bank Holiday weekend has, for the last few years, heralded a four day “jigsaw festival” in Brighouse. Yes, like you, I was initially scathing. “A jigsaw festival! Lots of jigsaws for sale in the local church?! Madness!” And so, I did not attend that first year. However,…

 Day 240 – 365 / August 28th 2015 I was contracted to install a series of graphics at a school today. The graphics were all of various inspirational words and quotations from the likes of Albert Einstein, Lionel Messi and JK Rowling among many others. This is a close up of one of them.
