How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

Bouncy Stonehenge was one of the best 2012 things! I had a bounce on it in Lee Valley Park and it was great. I also got to watch it being reinflated after a puncture was repaired, and watching all the standing stones popping back up again was SO satisfying.

Our name is cows
And in this thread
We will distract
From fear and dread
And other bad things
you may feel
We cleanse your timeline
No big deal 🐮
THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent cattle I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

Currently watching Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, and feeling a surprisingly kinship with a hero who creates an uncontrollable new lifeform and deeply regrets it. Mainly because I emptied my food waste bin today after three weeks of forgetting to. #ItsAlive #AndExtremelyFurry

Tilda Swinton is using haute couture as an excuse for shoplifting random items down her frock, and nobody dares to challenge her about it. Wake up, sheeple.

Just remembered that on my way to work this morning I saw a bloke in ordinary clothes, walking along holding a Captain Britain shield as if it had fallen from the heavens and he had no idea what to do about it.

I don't think I'm likely to die on a hill. It's a better bet that I'll die at the bottom of the hill while whining about not wanting to go up it.

Wood ducks are cavity nesters and frequently use nest boxes. After the ducklings hatch, the next day, after the female ensures it is safe, the ducklings jump out of the box to start their adventurous life. Photos taken in my yard. #Birdoftheday theme #takeoff 🪶

Legs are standing
In the desert
Vast and trunkless
In the sun
They're a relic
Of a king's great hubris
Ozymandias, everyone

"Behind the gormless façade": they definitely don't write celebrity captions like they used to.

When I was young, there was a 6 month period where my dad was away in the Falkland's. My sisters wrote him a letter explaining how we were going to a bonfire for 'Gay Fox Night'.
This is what happens when your mother has a strong Northern Irish accent and is the main influence on your accent.

Randomly remembering how Jean Michel Jarre collaborated with Hank Marvin in the late 80s and because of his accent would refer to the former Shadow in interviews as “Honk Marvin”.

A big butch shout-out for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the big butch manly movie podcast that is now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@kkbbpod Although they specialize in Bond, they cover a wide range of culty, kitschy viewing, and Andrew and Shane are funny, perceptive and just delightful to spend time with.
