I don't know I'm afraid Hugh. But I instantly switched to this voice in my head when I read your question 😂

Don't be. I fell over and fucked up my left knee, shin, palm of my hand, both elbows and my back aches. Fucking countryside 😂

A nice walk today along Lathkill Dale. It's probably one of the more untamed Dales in the Peak District. But we like it that way.

There is a blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the top right quarter of the photo. The rest is taken up with a narrow path leading through small trees and vegetation. A large limestone gorge towers above.

Here are some nice mushrooms. At Lathkill Dale today. Probably Honey Fungus.

Here are some what appear to be Shaggy Ink Cap #mushrooms. Or maybe it's the Maraca family on a day out.

What an album though. Those were such better times (for me, anyway) that I can barely stand thinking back to them. When did it all go wrong?

I'll take responsibility for not wearing my specs while I was shopping. But I'll also forgive myself for mistakenly thinking this was onion gravy while being in a bit of a rush. I mean come on, look at the primary object on the label (which I have blurred on the left so it's how it appeared to me)

A jar of Sainsburys instant gravy granules showing a load of red oinions on the label. The label is blurred but it says "Beef Gravy Granules"

What happened is I sent @wulfhelm.bsky.social a diorama of said Second Council which I made from fruit roll ups (raspberry), mice, parts of a 1975 Ford Cortina and ennui. That, I believe, was the object of the barkings.

I'd love to say it was something highbrow or arty but in all honesty it is probably this:

Having just invested in a box set of Columbo DVDs (FUCK YOU STREAMING PLATFORMS) I'm wondering what other US crime shows from my youth I should watch. Anyone remember Cannon? Ironside?

Ah. I think I see what's happened. You have mistaken a photograph of Margaret Thatcher as being Donald Trump's mother. There is quite a likeness, but she doesn't look like that in all her photos. Take the one below for example (she's much happier here because she has just received a pearl necklace)

An absolutely bonkers sunflower grown by Mrs N-P. Look at that sky too. You wouldn't think it's the last knockings of September in central England. #BloomScroll #BloomScrolling

A vibrant orange sunflower is centre picture. Another smaller out-of-focus sunflower is at the top left behing it. They are both against a blue sky with a couple of very whispy clouds.

Mrs N-P has grown chillies and the bees have given us some honey, so naturally I'm having a go at making some hot honey. Tried some (that I was given as a gift) on some baked salmon steaks and 'twas delicious. Fingers crossed 🤞

I must admit I'm a bit partial to the big Yorkie rather than the individual ones. Reminds me of my dad telling me tales of when he was billeted in Yorkshire in WWII and the big Yorkie was served as a starter with veg 'n' gravy (thick enough to slice). I'm sure @wulfhelm.bsky.social would approve.

That looks magnificent. Now, if you can master a Yorkshire Pudding you'll be able to pretty much ask what you like. P.S. happy to offer you asylum 😁

Well well. Didn't know that. Look at the director and writer of the first (non-pilot) episode of #Columbo.

A screenshot from Wikipedia showing that the first non-pilot episode of Columbo was written by Steven Bochco and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Mrs P grew and dried some strawflowers this year. I think they're rather pretty. #BloomScrolling

Ours too! We've grown Jalapeno and Habanero, and a new variety for us this year - Kristian Yellow (ours are still green at the minute though). Toms are the ever-reliable Czech Stupice.

Equally dismaying is the size of the quarries. I mean I appreciate that we need to get raw materials from *somewhere* but look at the size of this monster compared to Buxton.

Does anyone have any idea what this patchwork of light-coloured shapes is? It looks like pieces of top soil (or heather maybe?) have been stripped away perhaps? Here is the link on Google Maps: maps.app.goo.gl/MkTwd1LEF31o...
