Too late for #CrispSandwichDay but I've been hankering after this since being inspired by it. Black pudding & English mustard flavour and ketchup on Grace's bakery granary

a crisp sandwich with 2 bites taken out of it against a large crisp packet. the packet says Fiddler's Lancashire Crisps and names the flavour as Black Pudding & English mustard

I was told the other day that the Madrid metro runs on the wrong side of the tracks to all other European metro systems - because the original construction was supported by British engineers who drove on the wrong side

When is a pedestrianised high street not? Every time I head down Cowes pedestrianised high street I see someone in a motor vehicle. How does this happen every day?

a historic narrow high street with bunting. looking down the street we see plenty of people and one dog, with a large grey hightop van taking up 80% of the street

Probably only #IsleOfWight folks can tell whats wrong with this photo

the deck of the Cowes floating bridge. there are a bunch of cars facing the same way as the camera, and one facing the other way.

just behind the car facing the camera is a black screened off area with warning cones

I booked myself to do too many things today but i had a lot of fun on the biosphere family bike ride, and a lot of fun at the Mardi Gras. I probably would have enjoyed both even more if I didn't have to rush from Shanklin to Ryde to do both, and if i […] [Original post on mastodon.iow.social]

lots of people riding a variety of bikes along a revetment with cliffs on one aide and the sea on the other. it is very sunny and there is sand everywhere

I know I'm not the only one to have this thought but... Every time I read "females" when its used in place of "women" I hear Quark

At todays @repaircafeiow we were delighted by this camera - which happens to be a very similar model to the one our volunteer repairers bought and rebuilt earlier this week. Serendipity?

My little brother is very talented And competent at picking forgotten images of our childhood and hitting me with them unexpectedly

watercolour rendition of the intro to a game deliberately left out as an exercise for the reader to work out.

the background is a road arrow straight across a sun-baked flat ochre landscape with the suggestion of hills in the distance, all under a vivid light blue sky. 2 cars race either side of the road towards the horizon.

over the top is a comic book style dialogue between a blond haired and moustachioed white chap and afro wearing black man, with the following called out in boxes

-hey Stampede... how about a poem

looking out the window of your room onto a wet rainy day

main street under a slate grey afternoon sky

the light on your face is soft and din under the lace curtain

and the streets are empty

in the distance there is a _flash_ and a *rumble*

clouds

sail the sky like giant wooden ships on a blackened evergreen sea

capped with foam

I'm in Aarhus. Many folks in the city are celebrating AGK's championship win. There appears to have been *shenanigans* with the fountain next to the city hall. I've never seen Danes so out of control

Needed to go shopping for fruit & veg and fence paint & brushes. Traffic chaos with Fairlee Road closed to motor vehicles had zero impact #CargoBike #IsleOfWight #SunniestPlaceInBritain #BikeTooter
