@impq.bsky.social in other news I asked AI what Steve would look like if he was in the country life butter ads. The result was, of course, quite shit.

@impq.bsky.social can't believe that Alice missed out the friendship between Bruce and that famous Scottish Heavy Metal Band singer Mr Derek Dick. Pictured here at a Fishy wedding.

She clearly needs to spend more time doing your work for you rather than all that woke caring nonsense
Paul and Derek

Some lovely small #cloudinversions in #Teesdale this morning in the Balder and Lune valleys
Clouds sit low over Selset Reservoir whilst clear blue skies above make a bright scene of the moorland behind a dry stone wall (with stile) in the foreground A dry stone wall in the foreground in front of some grassy moorland with a line of trees in the middle distance and behind it a line of low lying cloud above Hury Reservoir Henry the Springador stands on a dry stone wall in front of some grassy moorland and the line of low clouds over the Balderdale Reservoirs A country lane leads downhill past a small barn whilst the bright morning shines through some light upper clouds whilst a line of white cloud sits in the Balderdale valley above Hury Reservoir

A #lakedistrict wander up to Bowscale Fell. We were going to go further across to Blencathra but the weather was awful at the top so for safety sake we came back down

Nice pint of #Wainwright in the The Rose and Crown at #Romaldkirk as usual However I'm sure Alfred would be amused they serve a beer named after him in there

"The Rose and Crown was out of the question for me. It looked much too fine and expensive and would have scrutinised me from head to foot"
A, mostly supped, pint of Wainwright beer

Edward Phillips posters have produced 'Mileage Chart' - a map taking in over 200 UK and Irish locations mentioned in #HMHB songs, including a key to which album each appear on. Methodical. www.edwardphilips.co.uk/vintage-rail...

@impq.bsky.social bastards..look what you made me buy. Used to have the VHS somewhere but never just the audio. Didn't want a physical copy but it was cheaper than the MP3. Now ripped, so forward this on and if anyone (in UK) wants it I'll stick it in a jiffy bag with a 2nd class large letter stamp

Exploring the third and final of the English Curry Stool #trigpoint #ordnancesurvey. See the alt text of Henry telling me about them for more info
Henry sitting on the central point of the curry stool (a triangular concrete base) with Cow Green reservoir visible in the low clouds behind him Just the curry stool showing it's three legged form with a central bolt indicating the datum point "you see up here on the peat moorland a regular trig point would sink so instead they drove three deep rods into the bedrock and then put a concrete triangular cap on top from which to survey"

Person opposite me on the train has a water bottle on the table. Is this just wear and tear or deliberate defacement?

I'm no particular fan of Alice Roberts but I'm not at The Guardian levels of trying to deny her existence.

Some truly amazing #cloudinversions filling the entirety of the #Eden Valley this afternoon as viewed from the #NorthPennines with the #Howgills and #LakeDistrict rising out of the sea of clouds. #Meteorology #weather
Panoramic photo from Hartshead Summit across the wide expanse of the Eden Valley. The sun is just about to set.into the clouds The hills of the Lake District (Skiddaw, Blencathra area) can be seen riding above the cloud inversion An earlier photo from a different point but with the Eden Valley filled with cloud. The Howgill hills are rising out of the clouds A panoramic view of the cloud filled Eden Valley from Shot Moss on the edge of the North Pennines

Morning! Up and out at sparrowfart today with the boy before heading to get a train to Sheffield. The clouds were playing silly games at 5am when they thought nobody was watching
#clouds #moon #beforesunrise #blackandwhite
An oval shaped cloud (I just missed getting the phone out of my pocket when it was being almost perfectly circular) flanked by trees and a fenceline The same cloud a minute or two later further down the path. Just one small tree on the horizon. The cloud has now become a triangle A third photo of the same cloud formation with the same tree as the second photo but again, taken from further along the railway path. The cloud is now, to my mind at least, in the shape of Australia Final of four photos. Back In an embankment on the railway path with the cloud again flanked by bushes and a fence. This time the formation has changed to two imperfect circles joined together
