Pixie and Dougal on a mission. Murray is the black splodge in the background, he's caught the sent of something and he'll be along eventually.

Sunny day on a country bridleway. Thousands of blooming dandelions on one side. Two Chihuahuas walking beside them, tongues out. A black smudge in the background is their Patterdale Terrier brother, who has caught the scent of something and lingering behind.

Been off the bikes for nearly three years now for a number of reasons. About to start renovating my GPz 750 turbo. Here's an oldie of me with an unwise purchase.

Noticed one or two cat-in-a-box photos. Here's Smudge in feline heaven - Next to a radiator, in a box with anti-Chihuahua flaps. #catinabox #cats

Black cat with white flash on mouth living the dream in a cardboard box that he only just fits in. He has made sure that the box flaps are positioned as an effective defence tactic against marauding Chihuahuas and is relishing the box's position on a bench next to a radiator.

He knows what you're thinking... #terrier

Black Patterdale X terrier. Just the head staring at the camera in a way that looks he is reading your mind. Quite shaggy with prominent eyebrows and a beard.

Album titles that sum up where we are at today? For starters then: A Flux of Pink Indians. The Fucking Cunts Treat Us like Pricks.

Back in the days when I could hop into a pair of 28" jeans.

Grainy photo of a dapper young fellow dressed in black biker jacket and jeans astride his Tribsa motorcycle. Brick wall in background, bike on a tarmac'd area. The bike is a Triumph Thunderbird 650 engine in a BSA Golden Flash frame. Classic chromed sides on the tank. My first "big bike" and first of many "pride and joys."

This is Dougal. He is in attack mode. Nothing, and I mean nothing, shall pass. #chihuahua

Dougal as a puppy. Black and gold chihuahua, short haired, still pudgy with little fat feet. He is at on a throw with a very serious expression on his face, which looks a little comical because at that stage he still had a lazy right eye.

Time to make a decent shake of getting rid of the festive paunch. I've been out a few times since the New Year but today I started getting back into my usual training regime. Sun was out so I have no excuse for the state of my bike. It's not time for its annual wash yet, so it will stay mucky.

Mountain bike in a sunny forest glade. Absolutely filthy, you can't tell the frame colour, which is titanium. Leant against a wooden open shelter covering a picnic bench.

Our Smudge is currently in the box that something arrived in today. Here's his entry in this years family calendar.

I enquired of my daughter the other day if my oldest remaining T-Shirt still existed. Certainly does, says she. Hard to tell now but it was once black and it once fit me. At 10 she was using it as a nightie and she has had it ever since. We had to fumigate it first though. #metalsky #blackmetalsky

A few years ago I placed this feeder in a hedgerow in fields where I walk the dogs. There aren't any gardens anywhere nearby, so I like to think I'm helping a little. It gets filled daily as, dependent upon what was grown in the fields around it, there isn't much else this time of year.

Bird feeder hanging in a hedgerow in the countryside, with barren harvested fields on each side. The feeder is hanging from a moss covered branch in a slight gap between the other straggly hawthorne branches. There is a mix of seed in the bowl and a canopy over it positioned to keep bigger birds from using it. The idea being that tits, robins and birds up to blackbird size will benefit most.

What do we do to take the news away from all these bad actors?

I am a positive person but sometimes I have to wonder.

A scene set in autumn sunshine after the harvest in England, Double track bridleway to the left leading towards an oak in full leaf. Old wooden building in the mid-distance and a line of green conifers in the far distance. Hazy blue sky with text I have written bemoaning the state of the world.

Every year I make a calendar for Mrs Ogre that has various hopelessly amateur Gimped images of family members and pets placed into well known artworks or, as is the case this year, album covers. This is a PNG of Murray before it was placed on the album artwork. Any guesses as to the album?

My black Patterdale Terrier in mid-flight. He's the rough haired variety and is going grey on the face now. He's 13 years old but he doesn't know it.

Playing about with the zoom on my camera. Quite liked how it emphasis the moon's features along the terminator. Might link to some of my Black Metal reaction/reviews later. I'm not sure that this is the place for it though.

The Moon, just after half phase. Craters, ridges and mountains emphasised by the terminator. Looks more like an orange in texture along this point.

Nope, still not made my mind up yet but here's Dougal when he was a pup. Looking at this, you wouldn't think he chases Murray (the snow dog on previous post,) around the fields but that he does.

Chihuahua puppy, black and cream coloured, posing for the camera. His eyes haven't straightened yet.

I'm still pondering upon whether I am going to just be a viewer on here or actually post anything. I haven't really used social media before. And I'm lazy. Anyway, here's a moody picture whilst I make my mind up.

A picture after heavy snow. The sun is trying to break through a heavy mist and is silhouetting a couple of leafless, spindley small trees. Even with the soft yellow orb of the sun, it is really just shades of grey.

I've never used this form of social media before but I got caught up in flood to here. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now I'm here but I might (or might not,) start posting links to my reaction channel videos. They may help you get to sleep at night. In the meantime, here's a snow dog.

A daft black dog laughing at the prospect of cold paws. He's a Patterdale Terrier and he don't care.
