Absolutely love my thermal print camera, probably my favourite piece of tech and the one thing that has built my confidence in taking photographs.

Yep, that's the one! Not confirmed that it's down to licensing issues, but is what I've heard.

Pub Thoughts #7 Monday, a day off and finally some sunshine, so I spent the day working in the garden, doing some good honest manual labour for once. By late afternoon my body was creaking and it was clear I neede…

The river Tweed seen through a ruined window: half the image is black; the rest includes blue sea and yellow/green banks.

Reading Ian Nairn's Outrage and I can't believe there's anyone else who has been that talented yet that grumpy at the age of 24.

Local campaigning in Bexley seems focused entirely on roads (including key wards suddenly getting major resurfacing right before the election), with very little interest in anything else, like the major social care costs in the borough...all just playing into Reform's hands.

No surprise with Bexley, but things are going to get bleak!

New Joshua Ray Walker track is excellent. One of the great songwriters and great voices that we have.

Thank you for sharing!

Popped in the pub and Cuddly Toy by Roachford started playing, so I think things are looking up.

It is grotesque that the UK is joining in with far-right aggressors to extend war in the Middle East and ignore all international law. We are in a very bad place, with a totally immoral and incapable government.

Today would be a good day for Labour MPs to discover some principles.

Yes, she's lovely! Doing loads to make it a really welcoming place.

Pub Thoughts #6 God, it’s rained a lot lately. Day after day of the stuff from the start of the year, relentless precipitation, the only variety in weather being whether you’ll get drizzle, a shower or a downpour.…

Labour brains trust sitting down this morning and working out how this result means they have to be more racist and funnel more money to their funders.

Finally a small scrap of hope, eh?

[in a report] β€˜The visitor complained to a host on the way in about the number of warnings about touching the exhibit, saying they felt unnecessarily patronised. Around two minutes later the visitor reemerged with oil dripping from their hand as a result of touching the exhibit.’

Haha, a classic of the genre!

One of my favourite quirks of the English language is that a "polite reminder" is anything but.

I loved this. I've often done something similar when away with work, or just when I've needed to decompress somewhat. A good public house is a public home.

In these bleak times it is cheering seeing two of the worst people in the country face some consequences for their actions.

Seems the most likely scenario! Although I wonder if eventually it became known more through sitcoms than real life.

All very odd, seems bound up in another time, although I wonder how much is actually happened in real life.

There's still mileage in the trope! The tool has unfortunately been trained on the cooking of the bosses first wife.

Trade negotiations far too complicated in the current climate for a sitcom, sadly.

Thinking of standard 70s sitcom tropes you just don't see anymore - nobody invites their boss over for dinner these days, do they?

Starting running again a few weeks ago. Definitely find it a lot easier when I keep stopping to take photos.

Pub Thoughts #5 Sunday afternoon in The Old Tiger’s Head, Lee. It’s good to see a pub doing well when it has had its fair share of trials and tribulations – to go from boarded-up to thriving is quite an achi…

Popped in the florists today and they were telling me they've had several people bringing in cheap and nasty flowers from elsewhere and asking them to arrange them and make them look more fancy.
