It’s been a good month, and despite it being the middle of winter we’ve been quite busy. We’ve been hiking four times, and out in the kayaks twice. We’ve visited St Louis, Thornfield and Carthage.
365 Days
365 Days – a project to take a self portrait every day for a year. The rules are simple. I must be visible in the picture, and I must take the picture.

Gary in the parish hall kitchen (365:13) — There was a time when I would have scoffed at the concept of a drive through ATM. But no longer. It’s much warmer, faster, easier, and safer than standing on a wet and windy street corner. Today’s picture was going to be of me at the drive-through cash machine, but I didn’t like the only decent picture I got there.

I like getting my hands dirty every now and then, and it keeps me in touch with web development.
