Good evening Blueskies! Grey and rainy in the Vale today, muddy underfoot, let’s hope it clears for our amble later - we had a quick blast of sunshine, albeit brief; also a trip to the coast is on the cards, so we may amble there, who knows? Whatever you day brings, let’s Sunday!

Good evening Blueskies! Well, that was Saturday. Mizzly amble, but we took m’colleague’s dog fren Biscuit with us, mainly because he belongs to ED forgot him when moving stuff to her hour so we’re sending pics of him to mess with her head. What larks. #Hiking #Rambling #Ambling

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and mizzly in the Vale this morning, running a little late after a welcome lie in. More ambling to come, and some prime Dadtaxiing - let’s Saturday!

Two support acts tonight, #TheVeldt who were like a grungy Godspeed you! Black Emperor type combo, only even better than that sounds, plus yer actual #KirkBrandon doing an acoustic set with a cellist. Top notch. All together now: “all you young men…”

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day/week/etc… on a tram, off to a gig, more on which later, possibly; if I remember, have time etc… managed a quick amble in cold and dark earlier, so have a bad picture of that

Good morning Blueskies! Clear bright and frosty this morning in the vale; M’colleague decided to do some skating, which was fun; in the office with #TMS on the headphones; gripping stuff! Let’s Friday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Brisk. On a tram for a gig with ED, more of which later. Managed dawn and dusk ambles, though. Which was solid.

Good morning Blueskies! Bright and brisk in the Vale today, to say nothing of frosty, one for wrapping up and breathing in deep… keep toasty folks! Let’s Thursday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Commuting, planning, engaging, ffs, stakeholders; also, managing French people and losing glasses, so now on a pair from 3 or 4 prescriptions ago; but we managed a night time amble in the dark, with a frost coming… winter is, as someone once said, coming…

Good morning Blueskies! Cold and almost dry in the Vale today, overhead at least, brook and lodges in spate and very damp underfoot; meant to be sunny today - we’ll believe it when we see it: faff and stuff hurl themselves unbidden towards us: let’s Wednesday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day, this time with better commute (am) and French people. Damp evening amble. Dark. Wet. Cold. Not snowy yet: yet.

Good morning Blueskies! Drizzly and grey to star with, but got a better sky when the cloud broke and the dawn sneaked through to paint the sky a dozen shades of pink and amber; a better commute this morning, but a day o’ faff to contend with: let’s Tuesday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day, not helped by a 2hr 45min commute. Would take that when working in, say, Swindon, but not Middleton. Pah. Also, busy anyway. Our evening amble was dark and chilly, and not particularly photogenic, but have a picture anyway.

Good morning Blueskies! Bright and brisk in the Vale today, frost on the ground and a 2hr 45min commute (normally takes 20min) to get the week off to a great start. Let’s Monday!

Good evening Blueskies! On a tram. Yet another blooming gig, more of which later: had an afternoon amble, not as sunny as we may have hoped but pleasant enough and made for a decent pic when it did come out

Good morning Blueskies! Almost bright and getting on for brisk in the vale today, promising for one of those sunny autumn days where a walk in the woods is called for; however you do yours, let’s Sunday!

Good evening Blueskies! Funny old day, had the Xmas Fair at Mum’s church this morning, decent haul on the bottle stall; now having a movie night/lads night in. Oh, and there was an amble, which was warmer and drier than expected. Movie is (thus far) the new Avengers thingy. Meh.

Good morning Blueskies! Grey but not as grim in the vale today, bit of rain, bit of mild flooding, the usual. Lots to do today, let’s Saturday!
