Yesterday evening I watched the sun set over Dartmoor.

On Friday we took the MG to West Bexington beach.

On a Thursday I went to see Mary Anning and wander Lyme Regis.

He came back. Five days out. Last seen Sunday. Just as I got a bag together to go clip brambles, bushes, etc and bring food - he appears through the fence!

Dehydrated and limping, spending tonight at the vet hospital.

Mackie got fleas last week. Comb and Bravecto sorted that out, couple of uncomfortable itchy days followed, he’s all good.

Now he’s coming up to me a lot and wants to spend time on the sofa with me rather than go out! I’m sure he knows it was me that solved it.

On Thursday I saw Rhod Gilbert And The Giant Grapefruit - the grapefruit being the lump he found on his neck, this tour his return after cancer.

Darkly deeply funny, kinder but still with that trademark worry and ranting style.

You’ll discover a new use for a spoon!

Neck Oil seems pricey everywhere including Brands Hatch.
Thruxton’s British Truck Racing event the other day had this flag from Rude Giant. Their G/F IPA was alright but a bit on the bitter side for me.

(First time seeing truck racing, except for Eurosport circa 25yr ago, it was fun.)

Check out the etchings in Hell Lane. Mostly just names, a lot very recent. But also there’s faces and things and a Star Wars helmet.

A breather.

Really good time at Bridport Beer & Cider Festival last night. They had 60 beers & 60 ciders!

Shelby’s Elbows got the place jumping by 8pm, then Stillyano from Exeter played loud. Covers yes, but in their own confident way, not trying to be the person. I like that.

Tonight I went to a restaurant called Pho to eat pho and it was very good. Beef combo (steak, brisket & meatballs). Here is a picture to make you jealous.

On Friday we laid my stepdad to rest. It was a nice service, sad at times of course, but with laughter as well. Thankful so many came and smiled.
He’s now in a peaceful spot surrounded by countryside and lambs.

Sad to say our stepdad Malcolm passed away peacefully earlier this week, with Mum by his side.

Cheers Canada.
Fancied a bourbon. Instead found Bearface Canadian Whisky in Tesco for £37, but for a short time £27 with Clubcard.
It has a bit of a punch, much smoother and characterful on ice.

These days it is important to stand with those who stand with you.

People really are that stupid. They set up tents at the cliff base. They stand on the lip of the cliff edge to take selfies.

Here, people clamber over a fresh rock fall because that possible fossil is more important than being hit in the head by another rock.

The traditional Exeter sign. And my favourite coffee of the seasonal coffees I’ve tried so far: caramelised pistachio latte from Caffé Nero

A few pics of Rougemont Castle in #Exeter on Saturday.

I think none of these new followers are real.

Loud beeping from my phone - turns out it was the UK Government warning system about the upcoming storm. Fun to see it in action after the test before.
(Also, err, eek?)

I love ‘Echo’.

Sleeper were my top artist because I listened non-stop for days around the time of the Bournemouth gig.

I really do go through phases of music styles. Who ever heard of such things?

On my personal account it was this one.
