My Year in Photos – December 8th – "The road to the Mow", originally uploaded by henweb. Being a cold a grey day, I didn’t spend a lot of time outside today, for obvious reasons. My lunch-time walk went as far as Robert Dyas to by hooks (that’s just how I roll…) and straight back…

My Year in Photos – December 7th – “Cat under a hot plastic tree”
My Year in Photos – December 7th – "Cat under a hot plastic tree", originally uploaded by henweb. Here’s Holly, one of our two cats, nestled under our Christmas tree – a spot she seems to have taken as her own in the last week.

Funny Video of the Day – Kevin Smith talks Superman
Since I’m currently bidding in a charity auction to host Kevin Smith’s latest movie poster (I doubt I’ll win, but it’s for a good cause) I though I should highlight one of Smith’s best stories – or at least one of the best ones I could find on YouTube… The story of his daliance with…
My Year in Photos – December 6th – “Who is David Thatcher?”
My Year in Photos – December 6th – "Who is David Thatcher?", originally uploaded by henweb. Despite the silly title, I did eventually figure out that “David Thatcher” is presumably a clever play on David Cameron and Maggie Thatcher…. but it DID take me a few minutes to figure it out. My first thought on…

My Year in Photos – December 4th – “Bring me Salvation”
My Year in Photos – December 4th – "Bring me Salvation", originally uploaded by henweb. We decided to do some Christmas shopping in a nicer location than Reading today, deciding instead to visit Oxford.

My Year in Photos – December 3rd – “Facebook in real life”
My Year in Photos – December 3rd – "Facebook in real life", originally uploaded by henweb. While doing a bit of shopping in Tesco at lunch time, I spotted these Facebook gift cards. I’d heard that they sold these in the US, but hadn’t realised they’d hit the UK too. I guess I can buy…
My Year in Photos – December 2nd – “Insert snow photo here”
My Year in Photos – December 2nd – "Insert snow photo here", originally uploaded by henweb. As the snow has finally reached both Chiswick and Reading, I spent my free parts of the day snapping many-a photo around and about. This is the church on Turnham Green – one of the obligatory shots I take…
My Year in Photos – December 1st – “The weather approacheth”
My Year in Photos – December 1st – "The weather approacheth", originally uploaded by henweb. Having sat through a couple of days of half the country moaning about the snow, and keeping my fingers very tightly crossed, the snow finally hit us on Wednesday evening – this shot was taken just as we were going…
My Year in Photos – November 30th – “The Tunnel of Eternal Stench”
My Year in Photos – November 30th – "The Tunnel of Smells", originally uploaded by henweb. I use this underpass under the A4 twice a day, on my walk to and from the place I park. Usually it’s a fairly unpleasant experience, where one is confronted with either a ripe stench of wee, or a…
