I was worried I’d borked my Asus slider earlier this week. I’ve got the excellent SwitchMe app, which allows me to have different profiles for the different people who use the tablet. For it to work properly, you also need to have rooted the device. This is working very well. However, this week Asus released […]

There was quite a funny little exchange on Twitter a few weeks back, when Catherine Fox mentioned the Dean Martin song That’s Amore (you know – “when the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie, that’s amore”). This launched a series of alternative lines, which I thought were worth collating. You may beg […]

I went to Ripon Cathedral on Sunday to support my vicar being installed as an Honorary Canon. The installation was carried out during Choral Evensong, which is a very beautiful service, especially with the acoustics of the cathedral. It was lovely to see his parishioners out in force – It felt like every church family […]

I had one of the most horrible experiences of my life this week. I should prefix this story by saying that everything turned out ok!! I should also say that this is a potentially traumatic story if you have kids! On Tuesday we went out to the Stray to line the route of the Torch […]

In theory I can write a new post from my phone using the WordPress app. Does it work?

It was the Cancer Research 2012 Harrogate Race for Life this morning. Going on 3,000 ladies of all ages taking to the Stray to walk, jog, or run to raise money and awareness. I salute you! You can see the other photos I took via photo.eutony.net/2012-race-for-life

Well, that’s it. My last photo in the project was duly taken on Tuesday, making a grand total of 366. I’ve decided to carry on, although I might not be quite so strict about the rules now – we’ll see! Some top level statistics: 366 Photos taken 100% taken by me – i.e. I composed […]

Unbelievably I’m in the last week of my 365 project. While I haven’t reached a final conclusion, it’s hard to imagine stopping taking a photo every day – I certainly haven’t run out of inspiration. The opposite really; there are still masses of types of photos I want to take, and there is significant room […]

I love getting comments on my site, and getting some discussions going. I know I have a couple of friends who read this ‘blog (or who did, anyway), and I have also had several “out of the blue” comments and e-mails to certain posts. I am still very sorry that these historic comments are currently […]
