I found the shell of a Compustar II Terminal computer on the beach this afternoon. From 1982! Must have floated across the Atlantic as I’d be surprised if they were sold in the UK #retrocomputing

I just enjoyed two amazing whiskies from the Drinks by the Dram Peaty Whisky advent calendar. Both score 10/10! “Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks & Cask Strength 10 Year Old (Batch 04)”, & “Kaiyo the peated”. #whisky #scotchwhisky #japanesewhisk

My first fishing rod, reel, tackle set, and seat box were from Argos (UK catalogue store). Here’s the original pages (from around ‘86/‘87) #fishing #fishingtackle #1980s #angling

Anyone know what this woodland creature is? I couldn’t catch it. It might be a Wild Walnut Doodle? #labradoodle #wildlife

Fungi found on drift wood (south west UK), photos taken 3 weeks apart. What is it? I thought bulbous honey fungus initially but in the later photo it looks very different. #fungi

Incredible birthday meal with my family at BOX-E in Bristol last night. Fabulous!

What’s going on with the current Words with Friends character names? Dark. 😳

Checked last night’s photos and I found Comet A3 ATLAS! Didn’t spot it with the naked eye sadly, only in the photo later 😊. #astronomy #comet

Slightly concerning weather forecast for today in Bristol, UK. Winds of 15,909 mph! Almost 3 times the speeds of winds in the ‘Eye of Jupiter’. I might forego the dog walk this morning. 🤣 #weather #bristol #hurricane

Found this old photo of me fishing in Matlock, around 1987. Love the composition and light. Dad and brother trying to stay warm in the background 😂. Wearing wrong shoes (Reebock classic crossfits). Using my tiny travel fishing kit. If memory serves, I caught nothing. #fishing #nature #river #angling

What animal does this poo belong to? They are tiny, 2-3mm long. I’m in England. We have newts, toads and frogs in our garden. #wildlife #amphibians #poop #nature
