Playing around with MS Co-Pilot today, seeing how well it could create images. I'm staggered how well these AI things work. I had this idea for a pun based on a sausage driving a car. This is what I came up with. I have no artistic abilities whatsoever so this was thrilling!

Just finished reading the quite wonderful 1983 by @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social. As someone who grew up just across the border (Derbyshire), at about the same time, as Benji, this was a particular delight to me, but I would recommend it to anyone. Full of love, joyful characters and fabulous tales.

Does anyone else read these as hostage messages?

Prick.

A quite remarkable little book, which I would wholeheartedly recommend hunting out. Thanks to @neglectedbooks.com, who recommended this one quite a while ago. I finally got round to reading it and thoroughly enjoyed it!

This juxtaposition in my IG feed just *has* to be deliberate.

Interesting idea, Tesco, but I think I'll just stick to salad cream, thanks.

How exciting!! A new book from my favourite writer, The Killer Question by @janicehallett.bsky.social 😁😁. I can't wait to dive in, but I'm just going to let the anticipation build for a while 🙂

Looks like it's going to be a bit nippy today.

Carraig Fhada lighthouse, Islay, with Port Ellen in the background. Taken from the Singing Sands. Spot the wild goats in the foreground!

Last night's sunset. Absolutely typical of this beautiful place.

Farewell Port Ellen, farewell Islay. I have never wanted to leave a place less than I want to leave you this morning.
"The Queen of the Hebrides" is a name never more richly deserved for this idyllic island than it is this morning.
I am already counting the days until my return. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Idyllic Islay. Carraig Fhada lighthouse with Port Ellen beyond.

An idyllic day on Islay. Not sure whethernto read or look at this view. Fortunately, I have all day to do both 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
