Bought a second hand DSLR camera to help Mrs J with photos of her new cut flower venture. I won't spoil you with my early efforts.
I took it on a walk this afternoon and this feels like the pick of the bunch. It's so long since I've taken a photo and felt I've really had to think about it.

A fading old polaroid of me on a day trip with my Grandparents to Beamish Museum back in 1978?
I'm leaning on the fence with my Gran holding my sister's pushchair.

I think certainly. Cengiz was quite engaged with the Mimar Odası & Turkish PEN.
Here's an extract from an article on Cengiz refencing Kuban's writing on Bektaş' architecture.

There is a house in our village that currently appears like a recreation of the flag frenzied crowd scenes from the Golden Jubilee (apart from the massive accompanying Reform banner). You can barely see the house.

We often came on holiday to Galloway twice a year when I was a kid but unlike the North West Highlands the landscape didn't imprint itself on my memory.
Here for a week I've been taken aback by how beautiful it is.

It seems to be that time of year when cyclocross bikes and bits and pieces emerge from the shed where you left them but this time two(?) years have passed.

The Merlin app has been a literal revelation for me.
We're very lucky to have lots of birdsong and while I can visually identify the obvious candidates it's really helped me understand which birds we have around, where in the vicinity & what time of day.
This is sitting in the garden for 20mins

I found this in the cupboard the other week after dragging my old stereo out.
I thought 'I like Trucking' would be on there but I think from a later series.
There are some gems as well as some cringe and one actual cancellation.

Clive James on Demis Roussos
"But really he is beyond materialism, enjoying things only for their spiritual essence. ‘My bathroom can bring to you a certain atmosphere,’ he explained, clomping around in silver platform boots behind a larger than lifesize stomach."

Maybe the red button numbers are significantly greater but c.2000 viewers doesn't seem like much.
I hope it's not a lost opportunity.

Quite a few in the Home Counties have been work related stays but most of the rest have been visiting friends or holidays/trips.
Feel like I'm missing NI & NE of Scotland.
