I for one didn't have Pulp covering Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" on my 2025 Bingo Card, but these are deeply strange times...

A very damp, cold start to today's #MondayMorningBikeClub ride with sheets of grey rain billowing in off the moor and turning the lanes to rivers.
Took the Stooge out for a spin for the first time in ages to turn up the brightness, and it seems to have done the trick - sun is out now.

Those who know me IRL probably know that I'm bit obsessed with this bit of the moor where the vast forestry plantation of Fernworthy rubs up against Dartmoor proper.
It's a weird place of often unsettling contrasts, but that perimeter wall is also a reassuring handrail when the weather turns sour.

Lovely people of Bluesky: Please support my prize draw! I'm giving away recent oil painting, "Water Washed By Wind", to raise money for Care Leavers this Christmas & will ship it (free) anywhere in the world. Entry is free, but any donations would be fantastic. www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

100% worth the complete soaking that inevitably follows being caught out on the moor in light conditions like this.
God, I love the moor this time of the year...

Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.

Unlike Gill, Farage is an open-source Kremlin shill.
Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

A big part of my social feeds this week is people sharing anecdotes about Mani's humour, generosity and warmth... music aside, if you're going to have a legacy then that's surely the one to have, isn't it?

For reasons of general crapness, tonight was my first bike ride home from work in the dark this winter.
I stopped in the dark lanes somewhere just outside Chagford on the way back and turned my lights off for a few minutes and oh my gosh, the sky was really quite something...

The Stone Roses came out the summer I turned 17. I'd just started playing bass and tried my best to learn all of the lines from the record.
For lots of reasons that album meant the world to me at the time - it was a soundtrack to big parts of my life and still is.

A beautifully crisp and clear morning and a quickness to the air for a ride through deep lanes to the edge of the moor.
