Film poster of Goldfinger. The first James Bond film. A lady painted gold with Sean Connery and Honor Blackman sort of projected onto her. Not sure what you’d call this effect.

Let’s not forget the other people who put their name to this repugnant bill, along side Lam. 🤮
This won’t make a lot of sense as it is a screen shot that cuts off some of the detail. The important bit is the end showing the other repugnant people who signed up to this awful bill.

Think I’ll pop it on right now. It’s been too long!
The Jimi Hendrix experience album Axis: Bold as Love. Cover is a colourful picture of the band surrounded by Indian imagery. Including what I guess (due to my ignorance) are gods, human and animal in origin. All wearing golden bejewelled crowns, some breathing fire. The band appear to have multiple arms holding a variety of items from weapons to musical instruments. Above all this are 7 vipers heads and above that, and orange sun with pink and orange rays emitting in all directions.

In the early 2000’s my commute included walking past a record shop, it was dangerous for my bank account. As a result, 25 years later, I’m finding gems in my collection that I’ve always overlooked. Found this one yesterday 🤯.
Rae&Christian - Sleepwalking. Vinyl album cover, close up of a blackboard with chalk writing.

If you happen upon any Mystic Brew vinyl from Fatcity Records, snap it up. It won’t disappoint. They’re compilation albums from the late 90’s onwards. Hiphop, reggae, funk and soul, new(back then) and old. This was their 2nd and introduced me to this gem in ‘98. #vinyl

Some call it lazy, I call it efficiency! Here’s an attempt by my son to avoid the arduous task of getting a tea bag from the cupboard. I’m onboard. The wife, not so much. #tea

Well my shame left years ago, here’s my #fourworstrecords…
Four albums; a promotional soap compilation album for Palmolive, Looking Young, very green with an 80’s lady’s headshot. 
Big war movie themes, by Geoff Love and his orchestra, art from said war movies. 
Two Christmas carol albums from rival cathedrals. Guildford and Winchester. Both covers feature choir boys and burning candles. Guildford went with 2 candles. Whereas Winchester, in a bold move went for one red candle and a kid with lockjaw cloned via photoshop (Or whatever they used in 1971) to make him look like twins.

Interrupted some dragonfly coitus this morning. Searched up “What’s the deal with dragonfly mating?” The answer was a rollercoaster of emotions! #nature
2 dragonflies, one green, one blue, doing the conga. Screen grab of a search result “When males of this species want to mate, they try to seize the female's head with a special anal appendage. If she consents, the female folds her long abdomen back toward him and the pair flies together in a heart-shaped wheel formation.

That’s tough, I thought of 3 in quick succession, but I’ll go with the first;
Neil Youngs album Harvest. An orange circle on a light brown background. Possibly a representation of a harvest sun against a field of dry wheat.

Wife has torn her Achilles, currently stomping round the house like Rosa Klebb. I pick up a chair whenever she comes in the room. Apparently she doesn’t get the reference and I’m “not funny”
Wife’s legs, one in a massive boot used in the rehabilitation of a torn Achilles. I’ve added a blade made from paper to mimic the iconic Rosa Klebb’s lethal footwear.
