My Year in Photos – November 15th – "Trendy receptions #245", originally uploaded by henweb. Today I was attending a sales meeting at a potential client’s office, in North London. I won’t name names, but from the look of these examples of their reception furniture, you should be able to tell they’re a trendy agency-type…

Funny Video of the Day – Neil Young does Willow Smith

Posted on November 17, 2010November 17, 2010 by Henry Elliss

If you’re not familiar with the god-awful Willow (daughter of Will) Smith’s song ‘Whip My Hair’, you might (if you’re brave) want to watch it here first… Either way, you don’t really need to see it to appreciate the genius that is Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young, covering the song. Stick around for an appearance…

Funny Video of the Day – Antoine Dodson Remix

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Henry Elliss

This song has been stuck in my head for almost a week now. I don’t think I could do the “story” justice, so here’s the basic explanation from Wikipedia: “Kevin Antoine Dodson[1] (born 1986)[2] is a former resident of the Huntsville, Alabama, Lincoln Park housing project, whose interview on local television became an Internet sensation…

My Year in Photos – November 14th – "Most apt CD name ever", originally uploaded by henweb. I spotted this (and subsequently took a picture) at the youth club where my niece’s 4th birthday party was being held. Sadly, I wasn’t allowed to pop it in to enjoy some classic East 17 Sadness, but I…

Posted on November 14, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – November 13th – "Sleepy time", originally uploaded by henweb. Having refused a nap when we got home from shopping, Robert proved once again that he’s not ready to forego the daytime nap *quite* yet by falling asleep on the sofa at three o’clock in the afternoon. Bless him!

Funny Video of the Day – The Double Rainbow Remix

Posted on November 13, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Yesterday afternoon I finally got curious enough to look up the origins of the ‘Double Rainbow’ meme that I seem to hear so much about lately. I wasn’t disappointed – the original video is brilliant, but this remix that the clever people at Schmoyoho on YouTube made is even better. If you want to see…

My Year in Photos – November 11th – “Johnny English Reborn… in Chiswick”

Posted on November 13, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – November 11th – "Johnny English Reborn… in Chiswick", originally uploaded by henweb. Thankfully, despite kicking myself for not taking a photo of this while they were building it yesterday, the next day the ‘Johnny English Reborn’ film set was still in tact in the alleyway behind our offices. Before we…

Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfold Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfolds again last night, this time at the @royalalberthall. Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!

As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954. One of my favourite aspects of living where we do now is being surrounded by countryside and farm land - and being able to see an actively-farmed field at the end of our garden. Every time something’s being done to the field I’m out with my camera, usually trying to figure out the names of all the machinery - and it’s so nice to see a product being grown right from seed to harvest. I know it’s not easy for farmers at the moment, and I dearly hope ours are able to keep farming for many years to come - so if you have one near you, make sure to show them all the support you can!
