The days of film, when it cost money to press the shutter, and I'd come home from 3-4 weeks travelling around Europe with 350 pictures. I now stand outside Westminster Abbey for and hour and a half and come back with 1600.

On a much later than usual train back from London. I'm going to have to try to remember how the headlights work.

One pic sold this morning - Ester Rantzen. Filming ducks is a lot less depressingly predictable.

After hours patiently waiting in the hide (my large, 200yr old, solid brick, central-heated, two storey hide) I finally got what I'd been waiting for. It's a rather slippery bird bath and the poor little chap seems to have conjunctivitis, which can't help.

I don't think this Chiffchaff had ever seen a Goldfinch before

I think this is a very good illustration of what is wrong with the world today. An electric watch winder for people who own six more self-winding watches than they can wear. www.klarstein.co.uk/brienz-6-wat...

Brienz 6 watch winder | 6 watches

An automatic watch that isn't worn regularly will stop — and a stopped watch is a nuisance. The Klarstein Brienz keeps up to 6 automatic watches wound and ready, so the moment you reach for one, it's ...

Finally got one in frame and in focus for more than a second (slow motion x10)

Discovered a BBC show called Hyperdrive I hadn't heard of. If you are going to do such a blatant copy of Red Dwarf, 30 years on, you should at least be able to be as good as it.

Chestnut omelette for lunch. Chestnuts picked up from the front garden (big field) this morning and eggs from the neighbour's chickens. Living in the country has its perks.

Slightly geeky tech question: I've been buying CDs and ripping them to my PC without any problem EXCEPT one. It is one of a double CD set and the second one is fine but the first sounds like it's been recorded underwater or deliberately made to sound fuzzy....

Do people who make the jam that goes in doughnuts call themselves 'content creators' now?

I genuinely believe that the invention of Blitzed Crunchy Bar in Greek Yoghurt is the greatest achievement of my life (so far).

Bought another bargain lot of soundtrack CDs from Ebay - the best yet. All great except The Matrix Revolutions. If the soundtrack is a reflection of the film I have no wish to see the film.

I have a new favourite pudding - blitzed Crunchy Bar in Greek yoghurt.

A mixed flock of gulls. The ones with the black heads are Mediterranean Gulls: Latin name - Larus Melanocephalus meaning literally 'Black Headed Gull'. The ones with the BROWN heads are Black-Headed Gulls: Chroicocephalus ridibundus - 'Coloured headed laughing gull'. Bird-namers are an odd bunch.

There must be something wrong with my eyes, or my windows. All I can see is clouds.

It's been one of those 'white birds against a dark background' sort of days.

I've bought a couple of small collections of Film Soundtracks on CD from Ebay recently and there was some good stuff in there. I have just seen a listing for 191 of them, currently at £33 with free delivery. Really not sure if I should.

Just watched the opening of Strictly 2026. I recognised two of the 'celebrities'.

I can't stop thinking those coots had placed bets on the outcome.

Having escaped the endless, mindless, Musk-sponsored moronic garbage that Twitter has become, my life has improved noticeably, but I do miss my occasional chats with @number10cat.bsky.social . Come on Larry, spend a bit more time over here where the sky is so much bluer.

The light inside my fridge has started playing up. When I open the door it starts flashing madly like a strobe in a nightclub. It's quite exciting. I should probably get out more.

So this is a video of a cat - in Japan - called Maryn, watching me play the piano on an iPad. It's a funny old world.

I've stopped getting involved in Twitter. I still check in occasionally to see if I have any messages but I don't join in. From what I see it seems to be getting worse by the day.

I am genuinely a big fan of Morrisons supermarket, but on the very rare occasions I buy some sort of readymade or precooked meal (invariably because it is less than half price in the Magic Fridge)I never fail to be amazed and highly amused by the claim on the packaging - "Serves Two"

Vehicle Tax Reminder from DVLA At the bottom it says: "If you are unable to transact online, go to www.gov.uk/vehicle....." That seems perfectly reasonable.

I've just discovered it's Friday. I genuinely thought it was Thursday. #SelfEmployed

I have a growing collection of soundtracks to films I've never seen. The weirdest so far is Apocalypse Now (I've seen bits of it, but not the whole film).

I have stopped using Twitter and bought lots of new music (EBay CD job lots) and my life is much better as a result.

A sparrowhawk just hit the window I'm sitting next to and flew away. Had the weather been better, the window would have been open and I would probably have a confused sparrowhark in my living room.

Just got a great bargain job lot of film and TV soundtracks from EBay, including Pulp Fiction, Blues Brothers, Draughtman's Contract, Apolalypse Now - and this gem! Not sure how often I'll actually listen to it but it is the most nostalgia you could ever fit into a CD case

Listening to Tom Lehrer for the first time in ages. I'm thinking a) how much of it must have been lost on us when we were kids and b) how surprising it was that Dad let us hear most of it (admittedly there were a couple he wouldn't play until we were a bit older).

I know some may disagree and there is certainly very stiff competition for the title, but I'm fairly confident that Lee Anderson is the Most Ridiculously Stupid MP currently in the Commons.
