I managed to film a dragonfly breathing.

Newly emerged (teneral) male common darter by my pond this morning. Wings silvery as they are soft and need the sun to harden. The colour will quickly change to red over the next day or so.

Four spot chaser on Chat moss, I think my best dragonfly photo so far.

A scarce chaser, photographed today on the fens northwest of Wisbech. First time I have ever seen this insect.

Not feeling well so fire up the popular marsupial themed food delivery app. I don’t *think* this is where I am.

My father photographed this four spot chaser by the pond my sister and I dug two winters ago.

I’ve not tried to promote anything on Bluesky yet, so here goes. These are my upcoming tour dates. It’s my show about the waterways of England. Take a look, maybe give us a share! Here’s a bit of it, m.youtube.com/watch?v=_dfq... Tickets + info, www.tomkitching.co.uk/upcoming-gigs/

The tour flyer with dates and locations. All the same info is in the second link in the main message.

I was lucky enough to see a long eared owl hunting this evening.

The leafy Cheshire village of Bickerton. Fucking slackers for over 42 years.

I visited The Marton Oak, England’s largest tree by circumference at 44ft. The middle has entirely rotted away, leaving three separate trunks connected by the roots. It’s estimated to be 1200-1400 years old. It’s in someone’s back garden so you have to ask permission to meet it.

The life of a gigging musician. Another year’s journey down the Haggis Highway of Burns’ night gigs commences with a ceilidh at the Prince William of Gloucester Barracks officers’ mess.

Had a case of wine delivered this morning and this is the picture the delivery man took to prove he had delivered it correctly.

It’s an incredibly glamorous life being a gigging musician. The private jets. The beach parties in Malibu. The private dining rooms at the Ritz.

At the weekend, my housemate got up early to make an ammonite to take to a party.

As a musician, I do see some stuff on my travels.

For Black Friday, my books & albums will cost exactly the same as normal as, - I’m not American. - Gotta make a living. - That Xmas case of Margaux won’t buy itself. But I will include a small sketch of a monster shouting with each order received this weekend. www.tomkitching.co.uk/shop/

I thought it was. I did write a letter of complaint after our difficulties with depth there recently. Good to see.

You can’t beat that virtuous feeling of getting up in the glow of predawn and walking wherever the muse takes you through the local area, looking for a pint of milk to steal off of someone’s doorstep.

These are the gonks my friend Carrie made me to sell on my Interloper tour in 2015. I have one left.
