Today’s experiment: my Canon M-series camera as webcam…

A seashell on Shoreham Beach

Met this chap on our beach walk today. Seemed nice enough, but not very talkative.

A figure made of seaweed, driftwood and old sunglasses.

It’s not exactly puzzling why we chose to live here, is it?

There’s something utterly magical to me about beaches in the off season, when it’s just us die hards out there…


Birthday beach walk with my daughters.

Have to say - I wasn’t expecting to be spending time in A&E on the first day of lockdown.


So, lockdown it is, from tonight. I’m very lucky to be living very near to these places. It’s going to be much easier for us than so many others.

Boats on the river Adur. The churchyard of St Mary de Haura.


Sometimes you have to get something out of your head before you can concentrate on the other things you need to do.

It’s out of my head, so it’s time to get editing training videos.

Misty, dreich morning in Sussex.


Lovely walk with the girls, despite the dreich weather.


Should you turn on your video camera during online training?


Another day in front of the ring light…


Ah, the BBC’s Autumnwatch. Balm for the soul.


Half term adventures.

Wellies was the right decision.


I walked up into Old Shoreham yesterday, to pick up some things. It’s interesting seeing the traces of the old village concealed within more modern housing.

Well now. Substack is adding custom domains for everyone (which is good), but is changing $50 to do it (which is not). A way of heading off or offsetting the inevitable support pain as people struggle with DNS settings?


I just started looking for some data for a lecture, and the third result was one of my own blogposts, which had exactly the information I needed.

Thank you, past me. I must remember to be as kind to future me.

Shoreham Beach, UK / 2020-10-14 / 8.49am

Walking home around the quay after dropping my children at school. I’ve lived here for 10 years, but I’ve never stopped feeling like I’m on holiday the whole time because I’m by the sea. I hope that never changes.

A Day In The Life


On the sofa for the Apple announcements, and my daughters have joined me…


Shaping up to be a nice Autumn day down by the river.
