I like to tinker with photos, video editing and music production on iOS and Android.
I also love Formula 1, wrangling data, weather forecasting, drinking tea, solving Rubik's Cubes and music that was made in the DDR.
Enjoys blocking crypto scammers.

I don't suppose BSky can help me find the owner of a Belgian racing pigeon who was wearing this ring. Found sadly deceased in an English field yesterday.
I tried facebook group and a Belgian pigeon website, but no luck so far.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

It's easy to forget the varieties of Club bars that used to be available, now we seem to have only Mint and Orange, (is the Fruit one still a thing?) This is a still from a 1980s TV ad, displaying Fruit, Orange, Milk, Plain, and Mint. Note also the golf ball on the Plain one - bit of a wild card.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

A sure sign that my cat has been up to no good is when she sees me and immediately tries too hard to act casual.

At first glance the staircase at this Windrush London Overground station appears to be ordinary, but if a train stops in the correct position you can suddenly see an orangey yellow insect crawling up the stairs towards you! 😮

Don’t believe the hype…
Great advice from @alexdeakin.bsky.social at the @metoffice.bsky.social about debunking sensationalised weather headlines.
Also applies well to many sensationalised political headlines too - read the full quote, understand the context, consult trusted sources.

This is an amazing documentary.
The sheer scale of the production is mind-blowing; here's how they they turn 1,300 tonnes of equipment into a live music show.

I've just made some ice cream matcha.
Verdict:
Smell - exactly like ice cream.
Look - a bit like ditch water.
Taste - pretty much how I imagine soil tastes.
Still I've made it now, so I'm going to drink it.

I love music from the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (as it was). Here's a brilliant song and a brilliant performance from Beppo Küster with his first hit song (I think) back in 1983.
