Picture Helen took of me at Spittal (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spittal...) looking out at the North Sea- she captioned it 'Old Man and the Sea'

in the distance a light blue sky meets a dark blue sea, In the foreground a sandy /pebbly beach. Near the water's edge, seen from behind, a man stands looking out to sea- he is wearing a blue hat, checked shirt, dark trousers, and has a bright green bag.

Happy birthday :) I bought the RRD adventure calendar compilation from Patriot Games this weekend.

Me- white, bald, glasses, trim black and white beard- against a home office backdrop.

Heavy metal driftwood. St Abbs, Scotland.

A large bit of tree that's washed up on a stony beach. It looks a bit like a skull of a mysterious creature.

Pete Smith @reddite.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026

Having a great time. Today we popped over the border to Scotland! St Abbs. Very nice. @domismithson.bsky.social

A view out to sea. In the foreground is grass, the middle ground the rocky shore.

That'd be T'Corbusier then @andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social

Advertising board, black ink on blue, the sun reflected at the top. The text reads 'Le Corbusier with a Sheffield accent' It's advertising renovated flats in the Park Hill complex, Sheffield.

A very acceptable alternative to Supermalt @slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social

Two bottles of Malta Guinness.

It's a graph of sorts. It reminds me of beer flavour profiles. A hexagon whose points are Cadence, Vigil, Lexicon, Polish, Drift, and Chorus. My posting is apparently 55 Ordinary Primate, The Ticking Library- punctual as a bell, and never quite the same word twice. Regular and pretentious- seems about right to be fair.

Eggs... bigger on the inside: in capital letters against a stylised hyperspace- swirling colours playing around a black diamond on which the words Doctor Who appear.

Pete Smith @reddite.eurosky.social · 28/05/2026

So we've found out- in capital letters, against a backdrop showing a stylised wormhole / blackhole and hyperspace effect- a black circle with white / pink / blue light around it

An appropriate buy with today's weather! @annleckie.com

The cover of Ann Leckie's Radiant Star. It shows a blue series of arches and a yellow see, divided by the title. The outermost blue arches have a gold disc over them, the yellow have a stylised eight pointed star. There is a triangular vessel in the innermost blue arches.

The cover of Amal El-Mohtar.com's Seasons of Glass and Iron.Against a scene of mountains and treees we see the front of one rabbit, following or chasing another rabbit, of whom we can see the back half. They are going into / out of an impossible trapezoid, suggesting different planes of reality.

#FRANIMALS Super plus lack of skills. Behold a true abomination of biro!

A biro sketch of the budgerigarter snake. It has head and body of the snake merging into the body, wings, and feet of the bird. The snake head has a speech bubble with 'I ssshouldn't be! in it, suggesting a creature loudly lamenting its existence.

The cover of Andrew O'Neill's A history of heavy metal. The title and author name are in a spiky red font, against a black background with lightning. Death rides a white horse and carries a scythe.

Cheers! Aforementioned caipirinha

Close up of my left hand, holding a tumbler glass. In it is a caipirinha- a cachaça, lime, and sugar cocktail. Chunks of lime and ice are floating in the booze.
