If you see this post, post, or quote, repost a lighthouse. The Barra Lighthouse on Santo Antônio Point, in Salvador, Brazil.
A lighthouse perched atop a stone building. The ground level is stone, with a doorway and the next floor is painted white, with 7 windows.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

A classic greyhound greeting.
A brindle greyhound 'bowing'. His rear end is raised, and his front paws are extended.

We rarely mow our backyard now. We would rather see the baby deer eating the dandelions or watch the yellow flowers bow to the ground when the pollinators land on them.

The European Commission has rolled out an alternative to Microsoft Teams.
But officials using it aren't impressed, with one describing the tool as "absolute shit."

Tigger's last paddle of the holiday, yesterday. The estuary had lots of holes, so he very sensibly was pottering instead of zooming.

Yes, I love it, and keep returning out of season. Marvellous mixture of sea, sandy beaches, seals, clean air, with hardly any traffic.

More beach antics. Slightly lower energy today. I think he's learning to pace himself.

Just to prove that Tigger does, occasionally, stay still.

Yesterday, the sea was sparkling clear. Today it was more like, er, angry soup. Seals were difficult to spot, with occasional exceptions like this one.

The sea was magnificent today: large waves, moving really fast.

I pointed out the guardian article was confusing because it suggests gov is increasing funding for woodland when it’s explicitly not. It’s about creating shade trees and urban canopies which is expensive work but absolutely critical. That’s why it’s £106/tree not £5/tree. bsky.app/profile/phil...

First EU reactions to Burnham suggestion that UK might rejoin EU: French President Macron: “Welcome back” Spanish PM Sanchez: Brexit was a “huge loss” for both the UK and the EU, and if Britain takes a decision to rejoin, Spain will “open its arms” again to the British people.

More of a practice scamper than a proper zoomie. Tigger in a playful mood.

Thank you! He is on-lead much of the time we're walking the coast path (because of steep cliffs) and then really lets rip once we get to a sandy beach.
