Remember these spoons!? Don't use these for beans. Otherwise, any spoons will do so long as it fits in your mouth comfortably.
11 tiny light beige plastic spoons for stirring 1980's vending machine coffee. On a white backdrop. These spoons are also used for sniffing stuff. Could also be used for eating Baked Beans one bean at a time. Will fit up a standard sized nostril.

Ugh, just realised if I want to see the sun in the sky around 6pm, i'll need to walk up and around a hill that's in the way. Can't be arsed now tbh
The sun setting over north Wales. High up looking west over fields in Gwynedd and fields on Ynys Môn. Everything is basked in an orange glow. Out of shot to the left is a hill with tall pine trees. For me to see the sun during the partial eclipse on August 12th (weather permitting) i'd have to walk up the hill to see the sun in the sky around 6pm and I don't know if i can be arsed tbh

A row of pine trees at sunset. Looking out towards Ynys Môn/Anglesey from the side of a hill at sunset. The sun looks tiny. This is north Wales.Taken from a stack of logs and looking out towards the northern edge of Ynys Môn/Anglesey. Lots of fields.The northern edge of Ynys Môn and Ynys Seiriol. Lots of fields and pine trees at sunset.

Ychafi. The sun's already burning off the mist and now it's back to minging air-soup. For a brief moment between 5am and 8am it was fresh, and the mist was rolling in through the door. 😔
A landscape in portrait mode. A narrow country road, the remnants of a dry stone wall which is covered in grass, a pig wire fence with foxgloves, and a meadow with a pig pen. Behind that visibility ends as the mist is proper thick. At the top of the picture are power lines.

If a director ever said to me "hey kid, you wanna see a movie being made?" I'd walk over and try to look through the bits under the pink arrows.

John Matuszak having his "Sloth" prosthetics applied by an artist for the movie The Goonies. I don't know who the artist is in the photo. Matuszak's eyes are closed and his fake (open) eye is down by his cheek. The physical effects artist concentrates as she carefully applies something to the back of Sloth's head.

Just had a lovely moment with my cat. Then he showed me his bum worm
Oscar Isaac, the hot AF actor playing Llewyn Davis, sat on a NY subway train and holding his ginger cat over his shoulder. Did they worm cats in the 60's? When did they start worming cats? Did people just accept dangly bum worms up until then?

"Did you hear that? Me too! HIGH FIVE!"
Legolas, played by Orlando Bloom (terrible casting tbh. A yellow stickle brick has more range). His hand is reaching behind him for an arrow. He looks like he's about to do a very serious high five.

Excuse me?
A screenshot of a page that lists facts about eels. It says "3. What's That Smell? (Cont.)". There is a picture of an eel with animal print style markings that makes it look a bit like Pat Butcher. Under the picture it says "this ability to smell their quarry helps them to survive and thrive in the underwater"

Medieval artists probably impressed everyone by getting eels spot on and the people were like "draw me a cat" and it wasn't until they'd got to pigs that the people were like "....huh"

Storm incoming?
Looking (out from the kitchen window) north-north east at an early morning winter blue sky. The tops of the mountains ahead are hidden under grey, moody looking turd-shaped clouds. On the left the cloud is glowing bright peach. The garden is full of scrap, don't judge. Also, there is a bird poo on the glass.

The first time I saw a camera phone was 2004, and I looked through the tiny lens like it was a viewfinder, nodded my approval, then handed it back to its very attractive owner. My brain needs to stop gifting me this memory.
A behind the scenes photograph of the little boy from Close Encounters Of the Third Kind. He's looking through the eyepiece of a Panavision film camera while his hand is on the wheel. He looks full of wonder.

What I'm wearing to the Bluesky xmas party:
An old black and white photograph which could be late 1940's or 1980's. A person dressed as an actual cigarette (with black dots for eyes and a smiling mouth) hands a man in a hospital bed a lit cigarette and it looks perfectly normal. However, how did the person in the cigarette costume light the cigarette? That's the real mystery here.

Dennis Nedry at his computer desk in Jurassic Park. He's looking smug because he's a tech guy (obvs), and he knows something we don't know. But he did do that little "ah ah ah. You didn't say the magic word" animation, so gotta give him credit for his creativity. Fair do's.

I failed my driving test! Stalled as I was pulling out to go round a roundabout. Considered opening the door and rolling out at one point. Also, apparently, it's not "saucy" for a room full of learners to put their car keys and licenses on a small table in the middle of the room
Richard E Grant as Withnail in the film Withnail & I. He's in the front seat of the car with a ciggy in hand, and he's looking shit but sexy - just like me, but in a lady way! His buddy 'I' is in the backseat looking down at his legs, much like the EXTRA assessor I had for my test. That's not going to throw anyone off, is it?
