It’ll never not be weird seeing peacocks sauntering along in Corsham.

The whisky gods whispered, ‘pop into Independent Spirit’, and lo and behold, I snagged their last #MysteryMalt bottle of series 3. Like Charlie Bucket unwrapping a Wonka Bar, I peeled off the cap to reveal... a very fine #Tobermory 24YO @indiespiritbath.bsky.social @dornochdistillery.bsky.social

Who’s going to brave the waters? 🌊
Exciting to see who takes over this potential gem.

Twelve quid for Bob Dylan’s Desire vinyl seems reasonable.
Ahh, look, a stamp inside which shows the provenance.
I wonder if it will add any value.
Oh!

The Salt Path is every bit as enthralling as the book, in no small part thanks to Gillian Anderson’s superlative performance as @raynorwinn.bsky.social. She succinctly nails the profound love, loss, despair & hope.
And what a showreel for the South West.
Bring on The Wild Silence!

Think I’ve found the culprit of the annoying ticking sound around the fireplace that’s been driving me mad for months: tanbark borers. 5 or 6 appear in the window daily.

There seems to be a very lost quail walking near St Matthew’s Place in Widcombe. Has anyone lost one?

Found myself sneezing a lot this afternoon, and it was only at night when I was walking with a flashlight that I could see why! A crazy amount of what I assume is pollen.

Alcohol at breakfast time - and not in a brown paper bag kinda way - don’t mind if I do.
The Danes certainly know how to start the day! It’s lovely in coffee, porridge or neat as a winter warmer!
