There will be a Mystery Jukebox tomorrow. Bring your tokens, prepare to shoogle to music and for the love of Kitty, chat to each other and have fun.

A short walk in between spells of rain ☁️ 🌂 🦤

Kitchen duties, including cleaning the microwave 😇 🧽 🧹

Trying to take on automated systems designed to keep customers away from any human assistance 🤖 ⌨️ ⛔

All part and parcel of a gloomy November day in the UK - have a very nice Friday evening 🌄 🍀 🕊️

I'm having the weekend off: tired after eight markets in 12 days. Lugging gazebos, tables, weights, boxes, stands and miscellaneous 'things' about plus 5am starts is a bit knackering.

Normal service resumes on Wednesday. Full of zip I will be! ⚡

Without being too melodramatic, my brother might be dead or the outcomes much worse without a rapid response medic turning up in 7 minutes. Troubling. 😧

Got home at 11pm. Ate dinner. Then Gorgonzola and crackers. I'm not struggling to stop myself eating a whole packet of chocolate Hobnobs.

Is winter about to arrive?

Im Wald die Blätter im Wind rauschen hören und sich als Teil der Natur fühlen. 🍃🍂
Hear the leaves rustling in the wind in the forest and feel like you are part of nature.

Blick in einen Laubwald mit hohen, schlanken Bäumen, deren Stämme sich nach oben verjüngen. Im Vordergrund links steht ein großer Baum mit sichtbaren, knorrigen Wurzeln, die mit grünem Moos bedeckt sind, an einem Hang. Der Waldboden ist mit braunen Herbstblättern bedeckt, und durch die Baumkronen scheint das Licht des frühen Abends.

Admire the splendor of the Sanctuary of Santa Luzia in Viana do Castelo
A masterpiece between sky and sea, where faith meets beauty.
Its majestic dome, celestial frescoes and breathtaking view will leave you speechless

Photographing migrant Short Eared Owls always runs the risk of you getting a mind blowing mid-air image of a female Kestrel (who isn't best pleased about an intruder on her patch), flying up to have a game of tug of war on a Vole, with said Owl...

For Alan and Rob's #BirdOfTheDay I caught this Heron at our local park in the late afternoon sun. Another one with the vintage CZJ 135mm.
