Here is a little cut off beach in Ardentinny Scotland you can get to along a path and then down a few rocks. Just out of shot is the picturesque submarine base around the corner.

As @jimofthenorth.bsky.social has left work late and now he's off to a birthday shenanigans I am sat on the sofa in my jammies watching Nativity. The sound of children singing goes straight through me but the rest has got me hooked.

Similar vibes but you look more polished.

Alive and well in palma last year!

So @jimofthenorth.bsky.social got me two Jessica Fletcher figures and tonight I unboxed one of them with my Murder She Wrote friend. I'm not going to pretend we aren't considering ordering some outfits. #MurderSheWrote #JessicaFletcher

I bought brand name white sandwich thins as that was the only thing Asda had. I am not used to the quality of it. Normally I get the waffer theen Lidl brown ones. Each bite is a surprise.

I got a meadow pipet today as well, I've never heard of that before. And a little grebe.

I'm watching a film. They haven't got a Christmas tree (check that off from your bingo card), he was just stood outside and spotted an old white ladder 🤔 however behind him were several straight branches that he could've made a nice tree out of with ACTUAL TREE but he's opted for a ladder 🪵 vs 🪜

No. Also no. Again no. Why are you showing me these people being held against their will.

We have wild sheep (as opposed to pet sheep?) that they bring in to cut the grass in the wildlife reserve. I finally went to have a look today and it seems mad getting excited about some sheep but we don't really have fields of sheep around here.

More classic street art.

I know you appreciate a bit of street art.

I was originally using BoatWatch because quite a lot of the bigger apps were limiting but MarineTraffic has now stepped up to the plate. I also have Port of London Authority app because that tells you when the ships are scheduled to leave so if anything fancy is heading down I can try and catch it.

I know it's only just gone midday but I've already picked my vessel of the day. I present to you Chiquita Harvester!

I was reluctant to post a photo for fear of creating a rate-my-plate situation. It now currently looks like a terrible industrial accident.

My colleague has kindly gifted me her only allotment pumpkin for this year and I want to make soup. Does anyone have any tried and tested recipe recipes they can suggest as I feel under pressure to do this pumpkin justice. I've only made butternut squash soup once before and I normally just wing it

I can count on Waitrose to have leftover Halloween cakes.

The fireworks have now finished, I can see the mass exodus is going on, dry robes, push chairs, multicoloured flashing toys and a steady stream of people driving their slightly damp muddy children home. My favourite firework is Sideshow Bob's hair.

Haha! I knew I'd find it. And I didn't even have to sift through the dust from the vacuum cleaner, swept it up in the kitchen, it's very on brand for me to have been near the kettle. #TeaIsLife

At least living on the second floor I'm not living in fear of stranger children. 🎃👻

It me.

I did not have "sniffer otter" on my bingo card for today but I'm here for it.

There was me thinking that Channel 5 had the monopoly on Yorkshire. How wrong was I.

Suspensiony stuff and a rattle in the back.
