My Year in Photos – December 11th – "Look! A Polar Bear!", originally uploaded by henweb. Today’s photo was taken at a garden centre near Reading called ‘Dobby’s’. I don’t know what they’re like where you live, but all the garden centres we’ve been to the last few Christmas have had these impressive animatronic displays,…
My Year in Photos – December 10th – “A rare evening out”
My Year in Photos – December 10th – "A rare evening out", originally uploaded by henweb. Tonight we got to have a VERY rare evening out without Robert, thanks mainly to Sara’s mum who stayed at our house to babysit. Sara and I got to head out for a meal with some of our mum-n-dad…
My Year in Photos – December 9th – “Look what I made daddy!”
My Year in Photos – December 9th – "Look what I made daddy!", originally uploaded by henweb. Today at pre-school, Robert made two Christmas decorations for our tree – a snowman and a sparkly bauble. I have nothing funny to say about that – I think they’re brilliant. I have a creative genius for a…
My Year in Photos – December 8th – “The road to the Mow”
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. Unfortunately, she’s sitting amongst some very fine-weave fabric which Sara…
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 5th – “Christmas has officially begun”
My Year in Photos – December 5th – "Christmas has officially begun", originally uploaded by henweb. Today we put our Christmas decorations up, following a trip to a lovely farm shop in Maidenhead and lunch at a VERY busy garden centre. Robert absolutely LOVED the decorations going up, though he wasn’t the most helpful helper…!…
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. Despite it being just 30 miles North of Reading, and Sara having done her PGCE there way-back-when, I’ve not actually been…
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…
