Found an okay spot to actually sit down and watch the rest of the F1. Not too happy with how it's going...

My view of the eclipse from Sheffield. Not the best stabilised video and I did still have to move the telescope part way through due to trees. But still this was great to watch.

Telescope set up to watch the sun currently a bit behind a tree so it should move into the open.

Tried to take a photo (yes, it's terrible) of a wild deer crossing the road in front of me, managed to grab a wild rabbit running across too!

I wish "adult entertainment" wasn't so expensive. It is very enjoyable.

A two-panel comic. In the top panel, a woman talks on the phone looking concerned, saying, "My husband has been spending all of our money on adult entertainment." In the bottom panel, the husband happily building an "18+" LEGO set titled "The Shire"

Does this still count as a selfie? I am in this photo...

I'd forgotten how much I like the ocean even though I'm not a beach person. Not a bad view to watch the sunset.

This guy was very friendly

It had been too long since I'd had a proper seaside fish and chips.

Well, I failed to see it in the Cinema despite fully intending to this last weekend.... However it didn't take long for this to be available...

Here's my first attempt at photographing the Whirlpool Galaxy. It's far from perfect but not too bad for being able to do it from within a city.

I do adore how green #Sheffield is. Top 10 biggest cities in the UK but the final photo of these is the least green direction from me and it's still pretty green.

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 02/05/2026

We did it. Our pointless season complete.

Sheffield Wednesday's finaly table oisition. 0 points.

Sheffield during the day is a bit easier. Wonder whether doing it fully at night will be any better. This is making me really want the Mavic 4 Pro though for the telephoto and larger sensor.

010

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 02/05/2026

Been trying to make more use of the different cameras i have currently. Definetly think I can depict the Sun better than I can Sheffield...

I feel the length of this warranty may be a little too precise...

Maybe the conspiracy theorists were right, I think NASA might be using CGI a bit...

Think I'm good for water bottles now. Thanks Google.

Does my amazon just work different than others? On the top page for me, everything is 3.5" 2TB HDD, except item 10, which is 4TB. I hear so much the results are mostly useless these daya but somehow mine just works?

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 18/10/2025

Slightly better timed than mine then... I did intend to watch the sprint race....

First time it's caught the local fox during daylight.

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 07/09/2025

This badger my fieldcam caught climbing a fence is so amusing to me.

That seems to sum it up pretty well.

One of the rare cases that's not so true. Very much both here.

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 19/08/2025

I think this frame from xkcd's latest what if? video pretty well sums up how insane it's answers are.

010

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 03/08/2025

Ok, anyone reckon I won't make money this race? Will anyone outside these 3 win?

020

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 27/07/2025

Even with losign the £50 bet i'll take it. I've won bets in all the knockout stages by betting on England while they were behind. I'd have rather had simple wins without any bets though.

020

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 22/07/2025

No idea how it compares to others but I have a GardePro that works well for just leaving it for weeks and then going back to an SD card full of videos or images. Discoved badgers I wasn't aware of, so been happy with it, but i do feel others would be just as good and cheaper.

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 09/07/2025

Seems there's a family of at least 4 badgers that enjoy visiting the garden.

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 06/07/2025

Should have bet more than just this rounding amount.

000

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 29/06/2025

Max Verstappen's odds still improving. Now more likely to win than Leclerc too...

010

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 29/06/2025

Maybe I should bet on Max who is still 4th favourite...

Just saw this on reddit and I now want all #F1 incidents to be recreated in lego. (from u/Firehazard5)

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 15/06/2025

Change in lead in the other race I'm watching. Going south has got delays making the northen route expected to be faster. (Both planes set off 2 minutes apart)

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 18/05/2025

Yeah i didn't wait for them.

Finally got a decent work PC. Why are workstation graphics cards just so much better looking than consumer cards?

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 04/03/2025

Are you this obsessed? (from my account)

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 17/02/2025

This is quite impressive by Tableau. Their *most recent* version is out of it's maintenance window so it now warns you saying you should update... So effectively saying you really should now downgrade to an *older* version with a longer support window.

000

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 05/01/2025

Well it's rather white out there... Mostly thanks to the lack of visibility! #uksnow

010

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 04/01/2025

Snow started to settle a bit. The alpacas don't seem too interested in it. Not sure if I'll be able to get any photos of it in the light tomorrow or if it'll have turned to sleet and gone by the time I wake up. #uksnow S8 3/10

Not sure why I hadn't done this before, but realised you can just do wax seals onto silicone then just attach them afterwards. Much easier to work with. Think I'll do that next time.

000

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 24/12/2024

I fully intended to have everything wrapped up early this year. But no, Christmas Eve and still working out the wax seals.

You should get a tree like this. Sure you could even plumb it up so the tree could feed the cake!

Hot Chocolate and Cinnamon Sugar popcorn. I now feel slightly Christmassy.

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 10/12/2024

But this bit matches basically identically, get's a little weirder towards the bay and it ignores the subway bridge, but i think it's easily close enough to be a map approximation.

100

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 10/12/2024

It has to be gowanus surely, looking at what other people have done using OSM data, it's just too similar it has to be. it's just not *quite* right. So i think more a hand made map approximation?

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 10/12/2024

Nothing wrong with being a brilliant big dumb idiot! I'm not sure I understand my recap: Top thing to watch: Chess Recap: Thrill Seeker. Yeah... they go together...

Andy Lawton @andylawton.com · 19/11/2024

I do love the look of snowy mornings.
