Did you get into the whole discussion about how ripe they need to be? Some people like them fairly green. I want them yellow and would rather not eat them until they are at this stage:

Some people think the area I live in is quite wealthy / posh, but honestly we are pretty average. We eat the same jammy dodgers as everyone else, both strawberry and apricot varieties:

Two circular silver brooches with large central semi precious looking stones, one dark red, the other amber. The amber one has five little amber stones round the silver disc.

Get a grip Omega Scaffolding (and others). It’s 2025 and not all construction workers are men.

Please don’t do this folks. Parking across a dropped kerb makes it difficult to impossible for wheelchair and mobility scooter users. If you see something like this then leave a polite note asking them to please not do it.

Can I be forgiven for thinking that Liverpool St is on the Northern Line on this map? Transport for London’s info is generally really clear but this confused me.

Section of the tube map. With details around Liverpool St and Moorgate the most relevant.

We have a glut of home grown tomatoes. So tasty and so many varieties. There may be a rogue in the picture though.

This popped up in my photos and I had forgotten that I quite liked it.

Never heard it called that before. This is an old printers drawer:

We got one too but I haven’t read it yet:

Here you go then #107 - not for me but for a Birthday gift but I will also read it.

If you like wall art, I can highly recommend Waterford in Ireland. One example from many:

That is a good reminder to me. I bought a fountain pen a few months back, my first in more than 40 years, to try and improve my handwriting. Needs a lot of work still: #HowIsMyAltText

Not high quality handwriting in ink on lined paper. Examples of squiggles and repeats of the letters a, b, c, d and o, mostly lowercase with some uppercase.

Watch timers. 1 min is a default, 3 mins is for brewing tea and 4 mins 33 is for listening to a great piece of music. No prizes for guessing what music.

I can confirm that it's still perfectly possible in 2025 to read GOV.UK on an old-ish Kindle Paperwhite. You can't go too far wrong with good old HTML:

But if I click on the image to make it bigger, then do browser zoom it starts to shrink (this also at 400%). Some images stay the same size, but it looks like portrait shaped images shrink. Is this expected behaviour or can it be fixed?

If I do browser zoom on a laptop this works fine and the image increases in size as expected (this is at 400%):

#beach - how is my alt text? Good enough, not enough, too much?

Alphabet Challenge #alphabetchallenge #photography #weekSforSquares This from some years ago is a building with lights around each window. It was either still under construction or in need of maintenance, or this is some kind of coded messaging system.

A building at night with multiple windows on six floors where only tube lights are visible, around each window. Most are squares but in some windows one or two lights are off so it looks like letters.

Here is something similar I took back in 2019 (and another chance for me to do some hopefully effective alt text)

7 power lines of varying thickness going from left to right, almost horizontally, against a blue grey sky with half showing moon visible roughly in the middle.

Another in my series of practising trying to create useful but not verbose alt text for images. Is it enough, is it too much in parts? #a11y #accessibility

Anyone else see a likeness of a young Jeremy Paxman in this statue of Oscar Wilde in Dublin? The tilt of the head, the raised eyebrow, and a slightly bemused look saying I will just humour you for a moment before I go in with a killer question.

I know it is wrong to add additional information to alternative text to make a joke or to promote something, but is wrong to add some additional context which isn't visible. In this case I have added the place where the photo was taken. What do you think? #accessibility #a11y

Three bright red fire buckets with wooden lids, hanging from black brackets on a red board fixed to a stone wall, with strong shadows. Each bucket has the word fire in capital letter. This was at Goathland railway station.

Not the greatest resolution picture. Another exercise in trying to write effective but not too verbose alternative text.
