Ex Soldier, Firefigher, Teacher and most recently Plumber. Now just taking the slow way round. Interested in climate campaigning, space/science nerd, rugby, cricket, music, playing ukulele down the pub, making things. Glad to meet you here.
I can't remember when I took this, but it's my fave Moon photo.
According to the file system I was using at the time, it was edited with Siril.
Taken with my Cannon Rebel T2i, for sure
Probably on the back of my SkyWatcher Telescope
In the middle of my light poluted East London back garden.

Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.
3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-
BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister
4
BBC PRESENTER:

5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill
6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -
CHURCHILL:

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -
8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here
BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate
9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate
You don't debate fascists
10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!
11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...
CHURCHILL:

Proud of myself for cooking Sunday lunch at home, not going down the pub . . .
Going back for second, seconds of roast potatoes, I flipped the entire roasting tin over.
My entire kitchen is a Rosmary and Garlic crime scene. Floor, Fridge. Microwave. I am too full of potatoes to care/cope.

During Covid I gave myself two French Jazz songs to learn to play . . . "Autum leaves" or "Je t'aime moi non plus".
I half-arsed halfway both of them except now I am excited to announce I am trying again . . .
This is my solem pledge to do it.
