Stupidly put on the daytime telly. Someone who should know better is telling me how to wash my clothes with conkers.
Suffice to say I’ve turned the telly off.

Could well be. All the bins are open and loads of them. Many of the stray dogs are colour coded with tags. Green are the friendliest docile ones obviously. Didn’t see any red tag ones. All cats & dogs had nethers sorted to stop more breeding. Government initiative apparently.

Took the new camera on its first work job. Having eye detect for the first time that works is just a joy. Nailed it every time. Nice to shoot at high ISO and still get clean images too.

Hmmm, I seem to have bought a new camera. Just had a look at Nikon Z glass. Oh boy, looks like I’m still using the F mount for a few years longer.

Overheard at the vets.
And what’s your dogs name?
It’s Oscar Carlisle.
Oscar Wilde?
No it’s Carlisle. Not like the famous actor.
I am in Southport so this should be expected.

There’s the boy reaching the heart racing speed of up to 50mph on a young drivers hour taster at Oulton Park. He enjoyed it but even he expected to go a bit quicker than that.

@richardhawley.bsky.social was on fine form last night at Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Coles Corner played in full & a nice treat to hear For your lover give some time which was mine and Mrs B’s first dance. Excellent evening.

Had an enjoyable evening watchingThe Bends go through the greatest hit of Radiohead.
A nice mix of young and old seemed to have had a good time too.

There was one there. It was a big chain of spud nonces. Last time I saw one was at Cheshire Oaks a few years ago. This bloke doing it now charges a fortune. He’s at the bus yard too. People queue for it. ITS A FUCKING SPUD!!!

They all seem to have forgotten that Spudulike was still around in 2019. It was a shit concept then and more so now.

Really enjoying the new @willcarver.bsky.social book I’ve picked for my holiday read. Realised I always pick something dystopian when I’m in the sun. #nothingimportanthappenedtoday

Going to Blackpool to see him do Coles Corner with a full orchestra. Should be magnificent.
