Wishing my beautiful, talented sister @shirley-sings.bsky.social an amazing birthday 🎉 where she's spoilt rotten. 😁

Hope there's lots of cake 🎂

Big love from big brother! 💚
Four people sit on a long sofa striking some slightly odd poses. There is food and it is being eaten.

Got an hour off. Having a play.

A character with dark hair, wearing a red jacket and green shorts, stands on stone steps beside a checklist. The list shows five tasks, four crossed out and one remaining: “Falling off the corporate ladder (0/3).” Icons for music, clothing, and a smiling face appear on the right side of the screen.

Great night last night at @bristolwpmeetup.bsky.social where we had Jamie Marsland chatting about AI tools for use with WordPress. I even had a chance to chat to some of the attendees... :)
Dave animatedly chatting to a couple of attendees about something very exciting, apparently.

Be on the lookout, Feathers McGraw spotted lurking with intent near Ashton...

A small statue of Feathers McGraw (a penguin disguised as a chicken) from the Wallace & Gromit series sits amid a cafe scene with a small section of the Ashton Estate viewable in the background.

Your's truly with @bell.bz at the end of his talk helping field q's from the audience at @bristolwpmeetup.bsky.social. Always a pleasure to be around Andy and his unique blend of humour and wisdom.

We've now as a group got some time off before our next event at the beginning of September.

Mentioned earlier, @shirley-sings.bsky.social & I had the opportunity to have a play together which doesn't happen very often when I was back home for a visit. Honest to god, the guitar is little, I'm not that big… yet. 😅 Huge thanks to my mum, sis and bro-in-law for arranging this. 💚

Rare photographic evidence of the “lesser spotted barrd” actually standing up in front of a crowd and apparently having fun. 😅

Had a great time being an emcee for @elliottrichmond.co.uk at the @bristolwpmeetup.bsky.social last night with thanks to @rholdstock.bsky.social stock for the picture. 🙏

Had a great time last night at @bristolwpmeetup.bsky.social where I had the very great honour of being emcee to my friend @mattstone.bsky.social who gave a lively talk about the future of AI in the field of Web Development.

It was his first time as a public speaker and he nailed it. 👏 ✊ 🤘
Matt and Dave are standing together beside a large TV mounted on the wall showing the details for the Meetup.

Wandering around the woods at Ashton this morning.
