My Year in Photos – July 28th – “This is not a building”

Posted on July 28, 2010August 25, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – July 28th – "This is not a building", originally uploaded by henweb.

My Year in Photos – July 27th – “Sign making for/by dummies”

Posted on July 27, 2010August 25, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – July 27th – "Sign making for/by dummies", originally uploaded by henweb. These two frankly-massive signs went up in our building today, to signpost the new toilets in the downstairs corridor.

My Year in Photos – July 25th – "Rob and Henry in da house’", originally uploaded by henweb. My choice of photo today was between a shot of the DIY bannister work I spent most of the morning doing, or a photo from the toddler’s birthday party we all spent the afternoon at. Seeing as…

My Year in Photos – July 24th – "The Dude abides", originally uploaded by henweb. Today’s photo was taken as we were walking in to town to do some shopping. Robert is very fond of these sunglasses, and I think they make him look like quite the mini-Dude. He even has his nappy sticking up…

My top blogging tips – in video form!

Posted on July 23, 2010August 25, 2010 by Henry Elliss

I recently did a small piece-to-camera (can you still call it that when I wasn’t actually looking at the camera? Hmm) for the IAB, as part of a series of videos they are doing with various Social Media council members. I chose to talk about blogging, and if you’d like to see what I said…

One good thing to come from this week’s rail strikes (and the subsequent week WFH) was my daily sunrise walks - something I really miss when I have to go into London.
