I finally watched the film about Lee Miller yesterday. Personally, I didn’t feel it lived up to the hype, though Kate Winslet played the role convincingly. Too many parts of Miller’s life were either glossed over or rushed through as if the filmmakers were working through a checklist.

Wasssup?
Apologies- I stopped using Bluesky as it no longer seems to work on my MacBook and this iPhone is too small to type. What happened to Bluesky on the Mac?

I'm hoping to be back to work soon following my hospital stay and diabetes type 1 diagnosis.
My co-worker Will, the chap who writes my captions, is delighted and so am I. Can't wait to get stuck in!

What a disgusting stain on humankind Elon Musk is. His Trump ass-licking remarks about Zelensky show just what kind of a dick he is.

Only time will tell, although I suspect after today's outburst the orange manchild is probably cerebrally challenged and needs to drink more covfefe 😈

WW2 Arnhem veterans talking to me at Eden Camp, Yorkshire.
That's a photo one of them is showing me- taken by the Germans when he was shot in the arm then captured.
Marvellous chaps, one wrote to me and said it was a privilege to meet me! Other way round I thought.

Frustrated my newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes is keeping me in at the moment due to crashes.
I'm consoling myself by looking at my old work & websites of other photographers who inspire me.

Is the world really going to watch as the orange shitgibbon and his war criminal chum 'own' Gaza and make it into a property developer's wet dream 'for everyone'.
Everyone but the Palestinians of course........

I'd rather pour molten lead into my ears than ever have to deal with Virgin Media again!
Possibly even worse than TalkTalk !

I've put humanity at the core.
So now I'm off to Tesco to buy some apples......

Still not up to 100 percent yet after a week in hospital following a DKA attack which came out of the blue.
Getting better each day that passes though. ;-)

It's only when you have to rely on the NHS that you realise how bad it's become in third-world Britain.
With my symptoms, I'd have thought a week for my blood test then 2 more to check results is too long.
I've worked for a German firm who make machines for Africa which can do it in a day.

Amazeballs!
I actually got to work today.
Christmas & Boxing Day at daughter's lovely old Bedfordshire pub, then studio shots today.
Afraid I couldn't be arsed to take the studio set up shot before we ripped it apart ;-(
But rest assured it was a quality product ;-)

I'd better get the drive sorted out- my Christmas present has arrived early.
Not all of them obviously- that would be greedy!
Just the 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale in red, top-second in from right.

Aaaargh!
I've become a trendy in my old age.
Matcha tea. It actually seems to give me more energy than 'Bulletproof coffee', (see earlier post to understand what that is).
Next I need a bamboo whisk & Yerba Mate Argentinian silver cup and straw.

Rothwell's 'Jesus Hospital', founded in 1586 by local benefactor Owen Ragsdale for the purpose of accommodating single, widowed, old men. In recent times it was converted into flats for married elderly people.

Happy Christmas to all my friends on Bluesky & may it continue to be a friendly place unlike Musk's 'X' which has become toxic.

Not far from the city of London are several small beaches alongside the Thames. I visited one as part of the Barcroft TV crew, photographing and filming bubble artist Sam Sam, Bubbleman, renowned for creating spectacular displays with just soap and water.

James & Matthew inside their tent for cold weather acclimatisation before heading out on a 180 mile trek to the North Pole. Still from a video I made for ITN news.

As over 8m adults face winter in cold damp homes and millions of pensioners struggle following cuts to winter fuel payments, the energy bills of MPs’ second homes are being subsidised.

MPs claim £300,000 for energy bills amid winter fuel payment cut
Some MPs have stopped claiming for their energy bills or are weighing up their decision after a backlash to the winter fuel payment cut

Keir Starmer would like to apologise for cutting winter fuel payments to UK pensioners.
To save money and help his government, please print this out and stick it on your wall.
