Spent some time #Lisbon last week and took a chance to get some monochrome shots with my #instax #minievo. I really like the ones with the tram cars, but I think I can do a bit better than this with some practice. 🙂

Back in 1840, #AnneLister died in Kutaisi at the age of 49.
Everyone has a grand thing to say about her, but today I feel that we should be realistic: she was a good diarist, but an even better place name murderer.
She was so good at that, she managed to puzzle many a codebreaker! 😆

Yup, sounds like Musgrave. Why bother with repairs when you can just procrastinate?
(In truth, he probably used the Vicar's rate for stuff like the new vicarage, instead of essential repairs. That church neevr seemed to swim in money...)

Looking up some references for an article and came across one of my favourite local history bits: when the Nonconformists were openly rebelling against the Vicar's rate in Pigou's time.

I guess I'll have to update the drone early in the morning and perform the usual post-update flight tests at an ungodly hour too because it's evident that the weather will be vile until next weekend (at least). 🙃

Finally put an old photo album to good use with some #Instax photos and I'm kind of loving how these look! 💛

![Extract from Anne Lister's journal: "Mr Duncan came into the blue room about 9 ½ to put me on a sort of scarf-cloak and a black silk hood over my pelisse and hat which had a crape hatband round it - could not bear the latter - felt smothered in it - it would soon give me a sick headache - said I could not wear it - went in to A-[Ann] she agreed that I seemed in no mourning at all - "](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zhsoan4ln22bwwklluvx6hvk/bafkreicou5zbej37ewvruojusk6z26c4qp35dwmq6dtscfb57mz4mcvkri@jpeg)

On unrelated news: I have a shiny (and poorly cut) Creepy Lister decorating my Kobo. Little star patterns glow when lights hit it and I'm very pleased with this. 😅

I was looking for an undertaker, but found a surgeon with a fancy name instead (the first one).
(Also learned the difference between a pirate and a privateer: the latter does the pillaging legally.)

A couple more experiments on #instax: the light leak effect of my #minievo and some nice daisies, and also a few shots from a recent trip to Lisbon.

Funny index note from #AnneLister's journal indexes in September 1822:
"Miss AW [ #AnnWalker] likes me"
(If she didn't, then Lister would've somehow been smothered at some point from 1835 to 1840.. 😅)

Printed a few more #instax photos from last weekend. Really like how the colours turned out.
The clouds on the first photo look a bit like cotton candy and definitely make Lisbon seem a lot prettier than it actually is.

First #instax shot in sepia mode to manage the water reflections and mitigate the harsh lighting.
Long way to go for me still, but not bad considering how I was blinded by the sun...

Figured I'd try the #minievo in the garden, so the first of these shots is the result (blue filter + mirror effect; no editing prior to printing).
Second one is an old photo of a sunrise in #Yorkshire a few years ago. Love how it looks printed like this!

Finished my first #instax set of 10 pics with these.
Top to bottom:
1. Rotherham Minster sometime last year.
2. Old church in Heptonstall.
3. The Piece Hall in Halifax.
Nothing fancy, but I really love them all. 😍
