Last Leaves

The last leaves are clinging on the trees in our nearby park.

Font Pestle 1.2 – Available Now

Font Pestle v1.2 is now available on the Mac App Store. Font Pestle makes it easy to extract just the images you want from iconic fonts.

Crafting Furniture

There is something strangely cathartic about recreating furniture in SketchUp. Given good measurements, I can craft something recognisable in about ten to fifteen minutes.

Festival des Courges / Pumpkin Festival

The pumpkin festival is taking place in our park. Pumpkins sit in flower pots, on wooden palettes, in trays, and on the grass.

Autumn has arrived. This weekend we will be transforming our apartment into its winter configuration. With the Autumn comes the cold and the damp. A pervasive damp that leaches into our kitchen wall and into our apartment.

New Home - Beginnings

It has been a busy few months. We have begun the process of buying land and building a home in France.

Rooftop Risks

So, the sight of three girls smoking on the ridge of an apartment block was a cause to grab the camera. The drop is five or six stories and lethal.

Specialised Bikes

Given that, seeing specialised bikes and vehicles around the narrower streets is great. A response to needing to move through the city easily and swiftly. Today I happened upon the TNT delivery bike in the photos below.

Tiny Elevators

It is a rotten trade when in payment for your new elevator, an apartment block carves not into the courtyard, but instead into the stairwell itself.

Lights of Manchester Town Hall

It was a trick I discovered in Sydney’s town hall. When faced with a dark building interior, take photos of the lights from below. The results are fantastic.
