My new favourite noise is the back and forth pecking between the two woodpeckers that have set up home in the trees outside my home office.

Oh, the fun of being in your 50s. I somehow just managed to put my back out and send myself into writhing agony by operating a kitchen tap.
If anyone wants me I'll be laying on the living room floor

People seemed to enjoy the beach photo I shared here the other day, so I thought I'd share another.
This one is the beautiful West Wittering Beach, photographed on a warm sunny February walk with Mrs B last Monday.

Any Bluesky geeks out there, or in fact anyone who wants to share an opinion.
I'm getting back into photography, and thinking about using Bluesky for my photo sharing.
Would it be best to use a separate dedicated account for this, or my main one? Anyone have opinions either way?

It's the first week of march and I'm mowing the lawn in a t-shirt.
I'm going to try not to ponder the long term implications of this whilst just enjoying some welcome sun and warmth

I had a birthday beach walk yesterday along the beautiful beaches of West Witterings and East Head.
It was so nice to be out in the sunshine, walking without bedding a coat. Spring is coming
