Marvelous little flowers on a shrub at West Kilbride today. There is still a little colour in the gardens but you have to look.

Brilliant! Twenty odd years ago I had a Suzuki Supercarry. An amazing wee van. I have a friend with a camper conversion that she just put back on the road recently.

So now it's the turn of the Minota 24 Rapid. A ' not quite half frame ' camera. It takes a 24mm square image. First outing for it.

Removing the Rapid half frame cartridge from the Welta Penti 1 . The 'Golden Wonder' as @keithdevereux.bsky.social refers to it. Development to follow.

Ghost sign in Rose St Edinburgh. From a time when the police took no shit from anyone. And made cast iron signs to remind you.

Loading up the Agfa Rapid cartridges. Two Rapid refills and enough for 16 or so half frames from the remainder of the 36 exp film cartridge.

Dumfries House garden today. Too dull for shitty cameras with expired film and fixed exposure. But magnificent wildflowers and a cordon of beautiful red apples.

Why does Sky give this pos a platform on prime daytime tv to spout his poison ? A tiny party in decline yet they get a free ride because it's cheap news and the broadcaster can just plug in to the carefully curated output from the rich folk seeking to buy democracy. #SkyNews #Reform #Jenrick

My home made eclipse viewer. First eat the pringles. Other snacks are available. Peel off the foil. Make a coin sized hole in the end. Make a small hole in the centre of the foil. Place over the bigger hole. Put the transparent cap back on. Point at the sun. Test before the eclipse happens.

I have a small overground fish pond with 10 fish in it. The local birds help themselves to water. Especially the magpies who clean up any left over fish food. Oh.. and visiting doggies who mainly just look.

Police officers were obliged to salute senior officers but when bike riding were allowed to just nod. Cartoon character Noddy from the Edid Blyton books was popular with children at the time...
