My Year in Photos – January 2nd, originally uploaded by henweb. Despite the fact that the car park is still full of random piles of snow and ice, and this aisle also houses the left-over chocolate and goodies from the Christmas stock, this was the sight I was greeted with in Tesco Reading today: Easter…
My Year in Photos – January 1st – “A new dawn”
My Year in Photos – January 1st, originally uploaded by henweb. Having opened our last set of presents with my in-laws (I hope that doesn’t count as our 2010 Christmas…?!) we went for our usual post-lunch walk on Reigate Heath. This is a nice shot of the old windmill – a windmill which apparently used…
My 5 relatively-boring (online) aims for 2010
As I’ve just discovered that I can post blogs from my Blackberry, I thought I’d take this opportunity (I.e. A very dull train journey to work) to jot down some of my online aims for 2010. I know what you’re thinking – dull, Dull, DULL! I think the same every time I spot a “10…
Me on the BBC – I think my media career has peaked!
As a regular reader of Andrew Collins’ blog, I thought I’d take a leaf out of his book and post a screenshot of me on the TV last night. After all, these things don’t happen too often, so I’m going to revel in it just a teensy bit. If you want to see me in…
3 More Christmas Spirit-filled Movies
Almost the moment I hit “publish” on my post last week – “4 Movies to Get you in the Christmas Spirit” – I remembered a number of films I’d missed. Not to mention all the people that responded to this and told me other films I should have included. So I thought I’d do another…
Downing Tweet – Other people’s blogs / pictures (UPDATED)
Following my earlier, gush-tastic post on my evening at Downing Street, I’m collating the other coverage the event got – partially for my own purposes, but also for anyone else who was there and wants to connect to other bloggers / posters from the night. Plus, I’m going to add in some good TwitPics of…
Downing Tweet Christmas Party
On Friday the 4th of December, 2009, I was lucky enough to be invited to attend a party hosted by the Prime Minister’s wife, Sarah Brown. Brown is a big Twitter advocate, with almost 1 million followers, and she apparently decided to hold a party for a selection of the people she interacts with on…
Planning my New Year Resolution – in Photos!
Claude Monet’s Garden, originally uploaded by henweb. Inspired by impressionist Jon Culshaw, who has apparently been doing this for a couple of years now, from January 1st 2010 I’m going to start taking and recording a photo for every single day of the year. I’m going to call it “My Year in Photos” – but…
4 Movies to get you in the Christmas spirit
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) Easily my favourite film to get me in to the Christmas spirit – which is odd, because it’s actually a movie set around American Thanksgiving. But since I’m not American, I call that a Christmas movie :) One of John Candy’s finest performances, and Steve Martin is his usual comedic…
To blog or not to blog – that is the question
Welcome to my brand new blog… possibly! I’ve been mulling over the idea of having my own blog for a few years now (how indecisive am I?!) and have finally decided to dip my toe in the water and see how it feels. It’s not a decision I’m taking lightly though. Just like the issue…
