Ale, music and enjoying life.
Waverley Steam Train in Shipley
By chance (our train was late otherwise we wouldn’t have seen this) we saw the Waverley Steam Train in Shipley last week.

A splendid time was had by all at the Bingley Show despite the gloomy weather.
Office Open XML Powerpoint Table Row Woes
Experienced an interesting “feature” in Powerpoint XML development/integration recently. Basically, it appears there is no way to define a default font size/style on a table row. It’s possible to specify the default font size via the slide master but if a user forgets to set it then some interesting side effects can occur when programmatically populating a slide/presentation. In fact it looks pretty shoddy as you’ll see an empty table rows being set as some arbitrary default font size (usually Calibri 18). It’s pretty likely you’ll see any table rows without text being set to this default size which introduces creep/shift in the table.
Up Ont Moors 6th July 2019
Decided to get up on the moors near where I live and have a look around. On one side you have Saltaire on the other there’s Leeds Bradford airport. There was quite a bit going on and managed to capture some of it including a pub crawl bus on it’s way to Glen House pub nearby and someone flying an advertising banner over Leeds.
