This might not be the most ethical business idea, but if customers aren’t going to do their due diligence before jumping on board…
Well, that’s their problem.
Thanks for reading. That’ll be $1000, please.
My Best Side
We took a family trip to visit the Mayfield Alpacas. They were very pleased to see the food we’d brought us and readily provided photographic opportunities:
The best bit was when the sun came out and they all immediately went into full basking position*. This being the UK, however, the sun didn’t last for too long and so they all immediately stood up and came back to see if we had any more food us.
If you are out and about in Sheffield and looking for something to do, this is a great afternoon out. 6000 Recommends.
* Draw me like one of your French girls.
Sheffield Timelapse
Seeing as we’re here, I thought I’d share this local timelapse, complete with dramatic music and dramatic local scenery:
This was made up of about 12,000 photos, shot over 7 months – and then some sterling work in the studio, methinks.
I mentioned here that I felt that the city was struggling a bit, but this visit has given me a more positive view of the place again, and for that I’m thankful. The heart of the city and the warmth of the people has become evident once more and there is redevelopment aplenty. The weather though – that still needs some work. It’s not quite right for “summer”.
What with one thing or another, I haven’t managed to get too many photos taken. What I do have will be flung up onto Flickr before the end of the week though. Probably.
Watch this space.
Today…
…we have mostly been helping out in the garden.
I always find it interesting that people here stick rigidly to the local health and safety legislation, while happily flaunting the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833.
Child labour remains an important part of modern British life.
The chimney needs sweeping tomorrow, and guess who we’re sending up to do it?
The Hull City “friendly”
We’re not here to watch football, but if there’s football on at Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane, we will watch football.
The season starts next week, so this was a preseason friendly against Hull City. For the most part, it was just that: played in a competitive, but good spirit.
There was a bit of a fight after halftime though, which was quite exciting for a friendly.
Following on from their 2-2 draw with a full strength Newcastle United side last weekend, the Blades continued to (metaphorically) punch above their weight with a well-deserved 1-1 draw.
Apparently, we’re surefire favourites to go up this season. Just like the last few seasons, then. We looked good today, it would be nice if we could keep it going for the next 9 months.
