It’s my birthday!
Bunty has given me breakfast in bed allowing me to smear jam on her croissants.
Later on Jill in the village shop is giving me a taste of her Lemon drizzle.
Then Bunty & I will settle down & watch our DVD of Liz Truss’s greatest moments! 🥳

Like many towns across the UK my local town appears to be going through its death throws, re-generation is being attempted though will take a while to see if it works. 1/4

If we are willing to pay lots of money to have a super capable machine in our homes controlled by Elon Musk we actually don’t deserve to survive as a species.

About to develop a roll of Kodak TMax 400 pushed to 3200 shot over 25 years ago. Not hopeful of results but nothing ventured nothing gained.
