    December 31, 2017. The last day of the year has come and gone, and I spent another pleasant day writing code. Other people paint, cook, do metalwork - I code. Next year: same as the last. Here's to photo-a-day 2018. http://ift.tt/2DGCPTN

    December 29, 2017
    December 29, 2017. It was -20 or so today, so cold that even the Sun looks cold. This is Andrea dropping off the candies she made at my parents place. Sadly they weren't home so they'll have to thaw them before they eat them. No problem, though; the ca...

    December 28, 2017
    December 28, 2017. Today this building is known as the Aberdeen Pavilion, but for my entire time at Lansdowne Park it was known as the Cattle Castle, and that's how I think of it. This is the view from the movie theatre where we went to see Star Wars. ...

    December 27, 2017. Quiet day today. Did some coding on the gRSShopper editor. Why? Becuse it's fun. This is a weed I can see from the bathroom window. I've watched this weed grow up, flower and die in the snow. Circle of life. http://ift.tt/2pOrQWk

    December 26, 2017
    December 22, 2017. Day three of my miserable sore throat with no end in sight. Still puttering on the computer. This is the new pottery I bought at the craft show a few days ago. I did not place the sprig of broccoli in the centre, that's where it ende...

    December 22, 2017. Still struggling with a miserable sore throat. Strepsils and NeoCitran to the rescue. This is the view from my home office window. Snow. Cold. Bleah. Spent the day investigating Javascript frameworks. http://ift.tt/2pCY1Yr

    December 26, 2017
    December 21, 2017. One last look at the office for 2017, where I finished up by completing timesheets and updating code. And also dealing with a nasty sore throat that felt like I had swallowed gravel when I woke up this morning. http://ift.tt/2DRCKgV

    December 21, 2017
    December 20, 2017. The sun set today at 4:20 pm. This is after that. It's a 'false sunset' - an image of the sun that appears because of a refraction of the sun in ice crystals in the air. This tells me that tomorrow will be colder. It will also be the...

    December 17, 2017. I read a blog post today wondering about the role of pens in or digital world, and it inspired me to take this photo of the pens I collected at the recent Online Educa Berlin conference. Today was a working Sunday; I spent the day fi...

    December 16, 2017
    December 16, 2017. We went in to the EY Centre for the Christmas Craft Fair (*might not be its official name). We got some catnip toys for the cats and some pottery for me (so I can go back to having soups for supper, which I stopped doing when my last...

    December 11, 2017. After a series of eleven photographs Alex has decided he's tired of posing. This is a yawn, not a roar. But it's also indicative of the way a cat will feign boredom to disguise interest. Cats are very dishonest. Unlike dogs. http://i...

    December 12, 2017. We're having a bit of a snow event, nothing major, but enough to slow the highways to a crawl and cause a dozen fender-benders. This is the scene on Anderson Road as I wait for traffic. http://ift.tt/2yifOTU

    December 9, 2017. Spotted in Berlin's Tegel Airport as I waited for my early morning flight. I looked it up and the Red Baron was shot down in early 1918, so this is close to the 100 year anniversary. I flew Eurowings to Brussels and thence on Air Cana...

    December 10, 2017. I woke to snow on the ground, but the geraniums are thriving, which makes me happy. I spent a quiet day reading stuff online, catching up on some email, and playing No Man's Sky. Another early night. I watched Titus's Special Unit al...
