That reminded me: 20 years ago, my 750F1 as a table.

A Ducati 750F1 with a couple of plates of food on the tank, with my jacket as a tablecloth. I was wearing that jacket on my ride today, but sadly sold the F1 some time ago.

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social takes care for Alan's turns of #BirdOfTheDay with the themes #BlueWater birds surround by blue water and #Perched bird perched on anything but not on branches. Here's a #perched picture from a very cold February day a few years ago. See also profile pic.

Me, wrapped up warm, with a robin perched on my hat.

The two door Freelander was great. We took the roof off twice, purely for demonstration, but the drop down rear window was very handy. I actually saw one with the soft roof.

Was the wood structural on these, like the Minor Traveller, or a decorative add-on?

Sounds like the sort of thing a terrorist organisation might do.

Maybe people should be more concerned by the real events still happening than the perceived imagery.

When you've got a £5M scandal why not use donations of £72M to show that that was trivial.

Mine were 70s and 80s, a Darmah and an F1. Both sold when I thought, wrongly, that I wouldn’t be able to ride again.

I liked to take overseas visitors there. You can talk about the keep and the chapel and then casually throw in that the walls are Roman.

David Edmondson @david-e.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Check out Portchester Castle, the keep is within the Roman walls.

One for @greenleejw.bsky.social , the Eel House on the river Arle, or Alre if you prefer, near Alresford. Built around 1822 to catch mature eels.

Set over a river, a single storey brick building with three arches below it. The arches contained grids to catch eels.

Drama on my walk today. A devils coach horse beetle attacking a large yellow underwing moth. There was a struggle but I don't think the outcome was in doubt. #insects #photography #nature #moth #devilscoachhorse

THe devils coach horse is a black beetle with a long segmented abdomen, it is a voracious predator. It had hold of the moth behind its head and the two were struggling, but I expect the moth must already have been weak for it to be on the ground accessible to the beetle.

My wife was given a slightly higher spec Yaris as a loan car. It had a bigger screen but without the hard buttons and knobs, so it was less convenient to use. I can’t wait for this fad to go away.

At least the Bullets' chassis were salvaged to be built as Morgan Plus 8 GTRs.

Maybe strictly not, but it certainly ought to be.

The last time I walked over it there were a couple of paddle boarders having a good think about it at one end.

I was thinking about visiting Watts Gallery and remembered that we were once served tea there in a MultiMap teapot. Long story short, I just bought a MultiMap teapot on Etsy. I wonder if I’ll be able to sell it to Microsoft for $50 million

How did it get an Internet connection? Surely it would be on an isolated network.

They are now used for Wall of Death in the UK. One of the few motorcycles with cable operated disc brakes. The only other that comes to mind is the MV Augusta 600.

To me the 1900s is the first decade of the 20th century. I know using it for the whole of the 20th century is now common, but that loses a useful term just to avoid doing a tiny bit of mental arithmetic.

I was relieved when I got mine and the manual said its app was Android only.
