Day 235 – 365 / August 23rd 2015 I have booked in again with Tommi for some more ink work on my (second) sleeve. So, on September 10th as my lovely wife cruises The Med with her mother, I will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary by getting tattooed in Manchester. Today’s “365” is from an image I…

Day 234 – 365
Day 234 – 365 / August 22nd 2015 Hasn’t it been a super summer? With warm, sunny days the norm and rain a mere distant memory? Not exactly. It’s been cold, wet and chilly. So much so that, even in August, I have resorted on a few occasions to wrapping up against the weather. Well, here is…
Day 233 – 365
Day 233 – 365 / August 21st 2015 Sausages and beans. One of my favourites! This is a personal favourite of mine and, although I haven’t had it for a wee while, it is fabulous. All you need are some sausages and beans – you most likely realised that from the name “sausage and beans” I expect…
Day 232 – 365
Day 232 – 365 / August 20th 2015 It’s been a little while sine our cemetery featured in a “365 Project” image. I have bee intrigued by this grave for a little while. It is slightly shorter than the usual some of a grave and the brightly coloured decorations, the flowers, scarecrow and windmill, lend it a…
Day 231 – 365
Day 231 – 365 / August 19th 2015 Today I had a small graphic repair to complete at a local vehicle body shop where I often do work. The bodyshop manager, Paul, is a rather nice chap and we often chat about football whilst I am on site. However, despite being a nice chap, Paul is deluded…
Day 230 – 365
Day 230 – 365 / August 18th 2015 Valley Parade features, yet again, in another “365 Project” image. Here we see the Bradford City team moments before kick off against Gillingham in the second league match at Valley Parade this season. Seven minutes later James Hanson put us 1-0 up with his first league goal of the…
Day 229 – 365
Day 229 – 365 / August 17th 2015 44. That is how many ties I own. In an effort to keep them tidy and to be able to see what I have when choosing a tie to wear, I have put four hanging racks onto my wardrobe door. Now I can keep my ties tidy and visible….
Day 228 – 365
Day 228 – 365 / August 16th 2015 We were pleased to be able to collect the scarves from the weavers in time for Saturday’s first home game of the season. The folk who had kindly reserved the scarves and turned up to collect them seemed very pleased with them. That was especially gratifying as, with any…
Day 227 – 365
Day 227 – 365 / August 15th 2015 It’s always a special day when you attend the first home game of the season. A chance to revisit your spiritual home and to soak in the ambience and vibe of the place that the close season deprives you off between early May and the start of August. You…
Day 226 – 365
Day 226 – 365 / August 14th 2015 I had cause to visit my church today. Unusually, today’s trip to Valley Parade wasn’t part of my spiritual devotion but, instead, was business. I was dropping off some graphic panels I had been commissioned to produce. As luck would have it, shortly before setting off, I saw a…
Day 225 – 365
Day 225 – 365 / August 13th 2015 Do you like this? This is what I have spent the past few days producing, preparing and installing on site for a client. I cannot lay claim to the logo design as the client did that themselves. But, I produced and applied the graphics to this front door and…
Day 224 – 365
Day 224 – 365 / August 12th 2015 Another hat image for you today. This is my recent purchase from Goorin Bros in Nashville. What a fine hat it is too! As you may notice, I have added a little embellishment in the form of a jaunty little swatch of fabric in claret and amber. Many of…
Day 223 – 365
Day 223 – 365 / August 11th 2015 Bootham Crescent, York. A short time after my team, Bradford City, were knocked out of the League Cup at the first round stage by York City. To be truthful we didn’t play especially well. First half we were the better team and created numerous chances from open play. We…
Day 222 – 365
Day 222 – 365 / August 10th 2015 This is part of a text conversation I had with a chap who contacted me to do vehicle graphics for his van. I was recommended to him via folk on a Facebook forum for our local area. He called me, discussed what he want don his van, I sent…
