@misshalcyon.bsky.social Here's a couple from this evening with much of the olive green slime on the lattice head still visible. The smell is nowhere near as pungent as much earlier in the season.

Up to talk given the day that's in it. I know in my logical brain I will just be talking to myself, but still.... I wish I could be more like he was. I wish I appreciated him more when he was alive. Wishing never achieves anything though.

OK, I apologise profusely in advance, but it is the first thing that came to mind and I thought about applying the filter, but hey, as my father used to say, "you may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb" 😳

5:10 alarm did not go off. Wrongly set for Monday 🙄 Woke at 5:30 in a panic, no breakfast, no pre boarding pint, reduced to this, but I made it. Football and beer awaits. Come on Alty, 2 games from Wembley.

It wasn't my first album though. Just the first one I bought myself. I think this classifies as my first ever album. In my defence I was a child (9 yrs old) and even had a poster of Orinoco on my bedroom wall 😂

Happy Imbolc. Went in search of snowdrops, but found only an early primrose. Did a 5k walk, not spectacular, but a start. Not bad considering I started the day with severe cramp in my right thigh & in the process of writhing around in pain managed to scrape skin of my left ankle and make it bleed.

Does anyone else keep getting follows from 'people' selling hallucinogenic mushrooms and other wares? I'm guessing it's an algorithm that picks up on any reference to mushrooms in general (I have a thing about fungi).

First shot is taken with my not great camera phone; moon and Venus over Wexford Town and second taken at home with zoom lens (you can just make out the craters on the moon).
