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…
Day 221 – 365
Day 221 – 365 / August 9th 2015 As a result of Bethany moving out this weekend, we spent today tidying things away and putting one or two items into her room. Part of this meant I collected all my hats together and gave them a good brushing out on the patio. Here they are enjoying the…
Day 220 – 365
Day 220 – 365 / August 8th 2015 This is a page from a photo book that I have recently designed myself and had printed by Albelli. It has some of the 1000+ images I took on our recent holiday to Chicago and Nashville. I wanted to be able to see some of the better shots in…
Day 219 – 365
Day 219 – 365 / August 7th 2015 Bethany, my daughter, moves into her apartment today with Liam. In preparation for her moving out, I have taken all my football shirts from my crowded wardrobe in readiness for moving them into her, soon to be vacated, wardrobe. These are a selection of my shirts; I have rather…
Day 218 -365
Day 218 – 365 / August 6th 2015 Behold the badges that Jeremy and I have designed to go with the caps and trappers we are making. They are in the colour schemes of the fabrics we are having woven – blue and white and claret and blue – to appeal to the various football teams. The…
Day 217 – 365
Day 217 – 365 / August 5th 2015 I popped into Brighouse earlier today and spotted this tie in a charity shop. An ideal tie for me to wear on match days – notice the colours? – it only cost £1.00. Too good a bargain to miss I thought.
Day 216 – 365
Day 216 – 365 / August 4th 2015 My parents called to see me today and bough this little chap with them. Perfect in my teams colours, he makes a lovely addition to my garden and is sitting just outside my office window.
