• Image of a wing mirror and reflection from the view point of the driver

    022 | 15th October 2026

    Anticipating that I’d be bereft of an image by the end of the day, I resorted to capturing the vehicular joy of stationary traffic on the way to work this morning.

  • A close up of stones, grass and weeds on a driveway

    021 | 14th October 2026

    My gravel driveway makes for a pretty picture with frustrating regularity.

    Where is the hoe?

  • Close up of a Japanese maple leaf with rain droplets on it

    020 | 13th October 2026

    Briefly ventured into the garden to attempt to capture a macro shot of some trumpet lichen on a fence post.

    How many people have genuinely said that before?

    Failed miserably.

    Hence an image of some rain droplets on the Japanese maple.

  • Fully built Lego Lewis Hamilton helmet

    019 | 12th October 2026

    As a retired AFOL*, I had the rare experience of finishing a new LEGO set today, which now sits atop a speaker in the man cave.

    It possesses good heft, so shouldn’t topple off and turn into a hoover casualty when I play Godspeed You Black Emperor at modest volume.

    *For the record, I voluntarily retired from an addiction which was neither conducive to my bank balance nor to the advancement of cordial living arrangements.

  • Close up image of a dirty window looking out onto a blurred garden

    018 | 11th October 2026

    My dirty windows make for a nice abstract image, with the autumnal shades of the garden making up the background.

    Regrettably, I think that’s an insufficient reason not to clean them.

    Spotted a TIE Fighter at the football today.

  • Close up of a dwarf hydrangea flower in autumn

    The hydrangeas have transitioned into their papery autumnal geometry.

  • Image of the bottom portion of an internal door that has been damaged by a dog scratching and biting it

    015 | 8th October 2026

    The dog doesn’t enjoy being left alone.

    I don’t enjoy replacing doors.

    The good lady doesn’t enjoy draughts.

    Equals: overdue DIY job.

  • Close up of a Barbie Doll with other children's toys in the background

    We have a small person in the house.

    Barbie is transfixed.

  • Image of a crystal style light fitting with shade and reflection on ceiling

    013 | 6th October 2026

    Whenever I’m confined to the house, and seeking a daily image, I find myself drawn to the contrast and shadows offered by artificial lighting.

    So apropos of nothing, other than the pursuit of this journal, here is an image of my bedroom ‘big light’.

  • A view of the sky with a long range view of a helicopter and a large bird

    Birds.

  • Image showing a net over a pond getting it ready for winter with water lilies seen underneath

    011 | 4th October 2026

    The water lilies are dying back, but there’s still some late season flowers.

    Today, I netted the pond, ready for winter.

    A statement, which if I overthink it, sounds either bourgeois or simply boring, or both.

    Unless you’re a pond enthusiast, and don’t hire a gardener called Barnaby.

  • A net hanging from a mesh fence in front of a football pitch

    010 | 3rd October 2026

    Late start to a new football season for the boy.

    Lost 2-5, but didn’t breach any financial rules.*

    *29th September 2026 : An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period.

    Plodding through my new book. Surrounded by old ones.
