Gazing up at the stars. Laying on the banks of a river watching the clouds drift by. The sunshine after the rain. 🏳️‍🌈 Yorkshire, of course.

Sounds lovely! Good weather generally makes folk slightly more agreeable.

Tonight’s walk. Sheep were really noisy. Anyone would think they were being murdered. Actually, thinking about it, maybe they were. Their lambs might have been taken away 😭 I did have a very delicious piece of lamb from the farm shop the other day 🙈
Wooded mini valley in the moorland hillside. There must be a proper name for these I would imagine. Another mini valley in the grassy hillside. Old mill in background.

That looks amazing! We’re looking for an Asian itinerary for our ‘big’ birthdays coming up, what company are you going with? Not seen an itinerary like that so far…

Looks fab! I played crazy pool on a work outing recently and managed to not embarrass myself too much!

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a spider plant flower before! Wasn’t really sure they had them!

Today’s walk. Heather now in full bloom so definitely a dry, late summer vibe.
Path by stream framed by trees. Early sunset sky. A path through heather moorland. Heather in full bloom. Reservoir in distance, trees, fields and hills in background. Green field in foreground. How?? Dry fields on hills in background. Hedge in middle.

It’s generally the only thing I wear round the house in summer!

In fairness, if I’m wearing my chino shorts with a zip and button, I struggle to get them to stay round my waist when unbuttoned and having a wee. Not impossible, but could easily fall to my ankles. Not that I’d want them to in a public toilet with wee and goodness knows what else on the floor.

Must be a pretty big and wild untamed bush to need some decent hedge trimmers…

😂 There was more underneath that you didn’t see. So I don’t think I need to eat for a week.

I haven’t! Said I was too busy to call today! Which isn’t a lie, I am.

Given the white walls I agree it needs to be art otherwise you’re not reflecting anything interesting. Something bold and colourful I think, picking out any colours of any other accessories you have such as cushions, rugs etc.

I accidentally called my mother yesterday. Is it wrong of me not to tell her I didn’t do it on purpose so she thinks I did actually want to talk to her??

Yes, tried one but not really sure what the point of it was. The room gets roasting when the fire’s on anyway so didn’t really get any warmer. R be useful to direct the heat to the door to heat other areas perhaps. And it made an annoying noise! Or maybe that was just Him indoors 😂

I know there’s another heatwave coming next week but I had a nice man come today to give me wood. So I think we’re almost prepared enough for winter now…

You can’t be perfect all the time and completely cutting things out just makes you crave them. Be good 80% of the time. Just reset the next day and don’t stress. I don’t count calories anymore, I generally know what I should and shouldn’t be eating and allow the odd treat.

Today’s walk and picnic in the “proper” dales - my secret favourite one in fact. River was dry 😔

I must be following the wrong accounts as I never see any. And I won’t be getting mine out either, not that anyone would want to see it!

Agree. There was a right Karen in a car park last weekend. She didn’t see a line of traffic cones indicating which way round to drive. She blasted through them and one got stuck behind the wheel of her Range Rover, grinding it to a halt. She needs to retest pretty quickly before she kills someone.

Richard @rainbowrichard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
Yes… I’m the other way round now though. Have the confidence and, if not all the knowledge enough to get me started and find out more. Just lack the ideas now!! 😂

I had the idea of “notonthehighstreet” years before it was a thing. Now I regret not doing something about it…

Richard @rainbowrichard.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
Yeah I’m exactly the same. People at work call me “Rich” which doesn’t particularly bother me but I would never introduce myself as such. I’ve often thought about being a “Ricky” but feel if I change it now people would think I was having a midlife crisis!!

Today’s morning walk at the parents. Train home now.
A tree lined pathway. Normally this is so muddy it’s like a swamp. Thistles and a field of ripe barley. Cloudy sky. Looks moodier in the photo than it was when we were there. A giant dragonfly on a half dead plant.

At the parents tonight so of course the wine comes out at 5:30. Not that I’m complaining too much. Happy Friday!

I’d rather pay more and get decent and fast coverage to be honest. Price isn’t everything! Is Lebara OK?

Agree with this. I switched recently and am slightly regretting it…

You too! So humid here more than anything. I’m just a bundle of sweat already.
