An old tree (oak?) with a huge split in the trunk. There is a drystone wall in the foreground. Uppermill, Saddleworth.

Still wet and a bit wild in Saddleworth - so recommend getting along to Dobcross band club.

MD's, er, column on prostate screening in @privateeyenews.bsky.social has a (ahem) happy ending.
It's important not to ejaculate or exercise vigorously for 72 hours before your test, or you risk a false positive. But MD feels obliged to point out that regular ejaculation may reduce the risk of prostate cancer and, even if it doesn't, it's one way to pass the time in later life.

In ridiculous news tonight, I've enjoyed a few (ahem) Jaipur (5.9%) and a Wobbly Bob (6%)

Juniper tree.
Now with added cat.
#ThickTrunkTuesday
A juniper tree, the trunk split low down. In the background is the sea and Kalymnos island. A cat pauses to the right of the tree.

Flags festooned on #FingerpostFriday
A fingerpost at Doctor Lane, Scouthead against a background of imminent thunderstorms. There is a strand of Union Flag bunting which may or may not be a recent addition.
