I’d originally planned to do one of these types of posts every three months as kind of seasonal round-up. It’s been eight months since my last one. A lot has happened, but don’t worry I’m not going to dump eight months worth of pictures, this is a special of sorts. Earlier this year I decided ...
Get on with it I was complimented today on my writing and it gave me a renewed confidence. Enough so to come back here (probably briefly) and write. On the train home I was mulling over what my subject might be and it struck me that the spurring on of the compliment would be the ...
I’ve mentioned before about my annual to-do list, it runs from April to April and contains things I’d like to accomplish that year. It comprises, unsurprisingly, five sections each containing, more unsurprisingly, five items to-do. One of these sections is books I’d like to read and this past year Don Quixote was one of those.

I’m a bit tight when it comes to paying for apps on the iPhone. In fact I’ve only ever bought two, but I’m glad that one of them was Hipstamatic. For years I was (and still am) a fan of Lomography and this app essentially sets about creating the same effect but digitally. I know ...
You may have already seen this around on the streets but for anyone who hasn’t here’s a lovely picture. Anyone who knows Speakersfive will also know that the love for all classic cars is strong but in particular its the Mini so what better way to advertise than on the side of this beloved automobile? ...
