In recognition of my younger brother, Marcus, who would have been 53 today. He died in Dec 2024, at the age of 51, from cancer. This was taken in Oct 2005, before a Real Mallorca home game we went to. I prefer to remember him as a gentle soul, like this, before the disease took its toll ...

One of those quiet days in the office, where you open up Photoshop and try out a few things on a recent photo. One is 'photocopy' filter, the other is 'posterize'. I taught @mainlymono.bsky.social everything he knows about image manipulation ... 😉

An old steam locomotive at the old Hua Hin railway station - image edited - with a fine historic waiting room to the left of the image that, as I understand, only royalty were allowed to use. Not for plebs like me ...

Can I suggest you subscribe to the daily vlogs of Richard J Murphy on YouTube, for reasoned explanations of Liz Truss and the BoE crashing the economy, MMT, the pound as a 'fiat' currency and government bonds not being used as anything other than an ultra-safe store of money.
