Snowfall
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009First I knew of the latest snow in Liverpool was the announcement on the news that Liverpool Airport was closed. A quick shot of the snow on the tree in my back garden taken from a window so I didn’t have to go out in it. Taken without flash, camera clamped to the window frame […]
Go Penguin Hunting
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009While doing a few bits odd an ends of Christmas shopping in Liverpool I did a bit of Go Penguin hunting. They’re sneaky and elusive creatures that like hiding in crowds of children. Here are the ones I managed to get shots of.
Il Forno and The Informant
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Oh dear looks like I need to get my grumpy hat out for both Il Forno and The Informant… Went to Il Forno on Duke Street in Liverpool for dinner before going to see the early evening showing of The Informant at FACT. Things started well with quick service and an excellent swordfish tart starter […]
Fantastic Mr Fox
Friday, November 20th, 2009Fanstastic Mr Fox is probably my favourite Roald Dahl children’s story. So today I decided I’d go and see it at the Odeon in Liverpool 1 and crossed my fingers they’d not treated the source material as a slum clearance job it like Disney did with Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Given the source materials brevity it’s […]
HMS Illustrious in Liverpool
Saturday, October 24th, 2009Went down for a quick look at HMS Illustrious docked in Liverpool today which turned into several hours of watching the helicopter display, buildings, canal, ships on the river and other stuff.
The Good, The Bad and the Upside Down?
Saturday, December 6th, 2008No not a new Peter Jackson and Russell Crowe remake of the Sergio Leone classic just a little accident with the film at the Philharmonic tonight. Then I did some pretty awful things when I was a projectionist so I’ll not hold it against them.
Odeon Liverpool 1
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Last night’s trip to see The Quantum of Solace was also our first expedition to Liverpool 1’s new Odeon. In most respects its a big improvement over the old Odeous on London road. It helps that the seats are actually set so you’re looking at the screen and I was impressed with how easily they […]
Trash Liverpool?
Sunday, September 7th, 2008I missed La Princesse missed it yesterday when out shopping. Much that I like art I decided the crowds heading towards it were huge and with a heavy shopping bag to carry I’d give it a miss. Today on my way in to town I was pleased to discover it back on Concours Tower by […]
Tapas Tapas
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Went to the new tapas restaurant near Fact in Liverpool tonight for dinner with the highly original name of Tapas Tapas. The puddings won’t win any awards but the main courses were excellent. Good service and a reasonable price as well.
The Emperor and the Tiger
Friday, August 1st, 2008Went to see Walk the Plank’s The Emperor and the Tiger in Newsham park in Liverpool tonight. It seemed to have drawn a reasonable crowd. I’d thought it might not because I’d only seen the poster at the start of the week but coverage on the front page of the local papers and the regional […]
