Following on from yesterday’s celtic tie, I have another celtic tie. This time it is for The Celtic Football Club. It’s not a tie that gets worn terribly often, but it does make an appearance every now and then. Continue reading A tie a day – day seventeen
I have got rather sidetracked by other issues, and so the Tie a Day series has got rather behind. But here is one of my favourite ties. It was, I think, a present from my parents quite a number of years ago. But it still comes out quite regularly, and now even gets worn by Andrew from time to time.

I’ve not been that bothered about the Olympic Flame arriving until this evening. Then, sitting at Andrew’s desk (mine is a bit buried at the moment) in our library, I heard the sound of an aeroplane overhead, looked out the window, grabbed the iPhone and took about 14 seconds of video of Firefly flying overhead. Firefly is the plane that is being used to transport the Olympic Flame when it cannot go by other means.
