My first week in Sheffield

I’m trying to think of fun/clever ways to represent my weekly blog posts during my time at the Site Gallery. We’ve only done three days so far, so I’ll start that next week – but in the meantime, here are some pictures of things I’ve seen and done since I moved here last week. I also hacked a combination lock and watched The Full Monty but I don’t have pictures of THAT. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

(I recommend starting from the top and scrolling down one by one…)

 

I moved in.

I made a friend.

I had lunch with Folksy.

I made a pretend washing machine on my BBC Micro.

I visited the beautiful Sheffield Botanical Gardens.

Aren’t they lovely?

I noticed a lot of good graffitti, too.

I enjoyed the Site Gallery’s book collection.


James and I ordered arduino starter kits. There are people in Sheffield who don’t know about arduinos.

It rained, but then the sun came out.

It’s like Miami off my rear balcony.

I keep running into Greg Povey.


I drew a vulture for Jessica.


…and a giraffe for Murray.

I got the disk drive working.

I eventually found a disk with some stuff on it. Hopper was the only thing that worked.

So I played Hopper.

I liked this ramp.

I made a choker out of bulldog clips.


I went to some pubs.

I was accosted by a Fleece of alpacas.

and I discovered some real Yorkshire.

Some really real Yorkshire.


The air is cleaner and the sky is different. Even the rain is clean here.


I want to take fer-ters of everything.


I met Bill Drummond from the KLF. He was unexpectedly Scottish.


I discovered how many steps you get doing the 30 degree spin cycle.


And I can see the moon from my kitchen.
