Clearing the in-laws house and found AJ owns a top hat. Because of course he does, no one ever doubted it.

New book tonight. Without reading a word it feels like it might funny but occasional read, not a start to fihish-er in one go type of thing.
A book, Busw@nker by David Agnew.

Finally finished this. A new author to me, an old favourite genre, hard Sci Fi. I'd describe as a science procedural novel. Fully enjoyed it and will definitely seek out more Emily Carter novels.
A book cover, Deep Space Expedition by Emily Carter rests on the bed linen covering my knees.

@hoskas.bsky.social took me to a Yayoi Kasuma show 3 years ago. It was the puzzling, delightful, even magical experience you've been told it can be.

A potential 2nd entry in the Wes Andersonalike photo competition run by TBIFF.
Photo of a former church converted to residences. The building is white rendered with a low, black tile roof. The pic is centred on thefront door which forms a black gated 3 arch portico. The straight path to the door is black tarmac and is joined by another path at a right angle halfway on the right. It is bordered by a lawn covered in autumnal leaves and bright green hedge.

I think I've got a chance of a place with this one. Last month's Stanley Kubrick entry, maybe not so much.
Black and white photo of the yacht club race office overlooking Morecambe Bay. The windows 9f the office are protected by a grill and fill all but 1/3rds of the frame. The starkness of this contrasts with the softer, lighter rock strewn foreshore and and sea in the right hand 1/3rd.

A little Wes Anderson in Morecambe.
A mural on the side of a low, flat roofed, utility building features a setting sun and the word fabulous. The building sits, isolated in the centre of the frame, on a wide expanse of parched grass, bounded by a low wall which divides the grass from the misty blue sky.

Last slice of birthday chocolate Guinness cake (as made by @hoskas.bsky.social ) and the correct amount of whipped cream (all of it). It was both delish and, controversially, nutrish.
Nigella's chocolate Guinness cake topped by a mountain of whipped cream. The bowl is flanked by an electric mixer and a stainless steel bowl.

New birthday book tonight. New author to me, same time honoured genre. Love me a bit of hard Sci fi. Thanks @hoskas, top birthday cake, top pressies.
Book, Deep Space Exedition by Emily Carter. The cover is a deep blue, a small outline of a space craft with faint, lighter curved lines. The book rest on red and white checked bed cover  my thumb and fore finger holding it bottom right.

The leftover Guinness component is also being dealt with. I'm 61, therefore nearly dead so bier vor vier stops counting.

Just finished this. It was quite enjoyable and not nearly as disappointing as I thought it would when I guessed the ending about halfway through.

Trying for something Kubickian for a project.
Black and white photo. The left 2 thirds is the windows of the yacht club race office overlooking the shoreline. The windows are grilled, the rest in deep shadow and diagonally slashed to reveal the right third of the photo in full sunlight. This shows the rocky shoreline, the sea and hills beyond with an unoccupied bench below the race office.

I mean look at those pint glasses, full of Czech Bud? It'd be against every law of nature and beauty to walk home.

Hydration break. Today's a good day not to walk back home and get the train instead. Esp as the station bar serves Czech Bud on tap.
The photographer takes a long draught of draught lager. He wears a straw hat, sunglasses and would sport a satisfied smile if his mouth weren't full of delicious cold beer.

A stupendously beautiful morning in downtown Morecambe today.
Looking out to sea on a slightly misty morning in Morecambe. The vibrant blue sky fades into a light misty that obscures the horizon. The foreground is a bare concrete apron which leads to a seaweed covered wooden walkway angled to the right. On the left 4 fishing boats, one beached, 3 afloat, are spaced filling the middleground.

Tonight's #Morecambe #sunset
Morecambe Bay sunset scene. The dark clouds and pink/orange sky is reflected off the wet mud in the foreground. The mid ground is occupied by thin lines of calm sea and silhouette of distant eastern fells of the Lake District.

Oh hello. Somebody has abandoned their cherished symbol of national pride and identity and left it in the care of a random sassenach. Don't worry lads, we'll take it as the gesture of support and solidarity it was intended to be.

Sunset view of Morecambe Bay from Morecambe town centre. The sky fades from orange to blue, framed left and right by buildings reflecting the orange light, and below by the silhouette of the Coniston Fells. The pavement, a zebra crossing the low wall and rail8ng of the prom and a calm blue sea lead the eye up to the line od hills.
