Remember my parents choosing a Betamax as our first video recorder. Luckily my dad knew a bloke who could copy all his home recordings onto VHS…

In the 1970s and 80s VHS and Betamax went head-to-head over the home entertainment market

This evening’s sky.

Sunset sky fading from a pinky-orange up to a pale blue-grey. Stripes of dark grey clouds cross the orange glow.

And this evening’s sky…

Not a bad day after all.

Roof tops silhouetted against the sky at sunset. The sky is clear except for a handful of dark grey, cigar shaped clouds.

The light was lovely this morning.

Sky above roof tops and a church tower - bands of dark grey clouds across a blue sky illuminated by the early morning sun.

A band of dark grey cloud sits across a blue sky, glowing in the morning sun.

Really enjoying @theterrorcellar.bsky.social 31 Nights of Fright, and today’s episode is a particularly creepy one.

I’m trying not to dwell on it, but tomorrow is my wedding anniversary. 😕

This evening’s sky.

A patch of dark grey cloud against a pale blue sky. The glow of sunset gives the cloud wispy orange highlights.

Really enjoyed this. Giulia recounts her experience beautifully, and I was so happy for her at the end.

As the days shorten, one detects - perhaps in the shiver of leaves on a slender tree; perhaps in a goosebumped urge to curtail a stroll and head home for tea - a sly hint, a muted whisper - the merest intimation - of summer's end and autumn in the air. That can fuck right off.
