Operated by Flynn the dog, posts are performed by me. I was barking into the wind over at the other place, here hopefully less so.

I spent the last 3 days shut inside the NEC while working at a trade show, but this was my view as I walked over to the venue on Sunday morning.

@stansaidairport.bsky.social meet the British Army’s Helicopter Synchro Landing Display Team. Very impressive to watch this trick pulled off on a moving platform and without rotors 👏👏👏

This was my sunset view on Wednesday evening. My first thought was that the sun was sticking two fingers up and saying: “So long suckers, I’m outa here. See you next summer!”

This is Ebony, she was close to being the perfect dog, she passed nearly 10 years ago. She never went on the lead, even whilst walking through the deepest densest sheep country of Wales. Here she is in the Brecon Beacons.

One of my favourites (there are too many!). This is Flynn admiring the view from the top of the trig point on Cley Hill.

Each carnival lasts about 2 hours, if you have never seen it before I recommend you start making plans to get down here and see the biggest annual event in Somerset - it isn’t Glasto!!

This is your 1 month warning that the main Somerset carnival season starts on November 7th in Bridgwater before moving on through another 6 towns over the following fortnight, ending at Glastonbury on 21st November.

Unlike other better known carnivals in the UK, these carnivals receive absolutely no public funding and everyone involved is a volunteer. Members of each carnival club spend all year fundraising and building there entries, it is a full time hobby.

While everyone is going crazy about Glastonbury tickets, I thought I would do a post about another event that occurs in Somerset every year that’s attended by more people than go to Glasto, doesn’t need a ticket, and you don’t need to wait 260 days for, the Somerset Guy Fawkes Carnivals.

A lovely sunset this evening. The temperature was dropping and someone in the village took this a cue to light their wood burner because there was a distinct smell of wood smoke.

My lunch spot today is Branksome Chine Beach car park. Amazing what a difference a month makes to space availability both on the beach and in the car park. A month ago we were at Knoll Beach, Studland and it was RAMMED!
Calm beach view on a dull day. Sandy beach view on a dull calm day.

I have been contacted by the house-sitter and told that Flynn is currently holding their glasses hostage until the frequency of walks, treats and tummy rubs has significantly increased.

We’re on holiday celebrating Mel’s 60th, which according to this graph is not cool. Anyway, yesterday we rented a speedboat for the day, which was definitely fucking cool!😄

If you search Google for reasons why civilisations fall there is a section headed Economic & Political Stability, which includes the reasons shown below - and like a small child on an endless journey, my question is ‘how much further’?

We know almost the exact date when the world went to pot, it was obviously when Binns sold off their remnants of boys tweed knickers.

Water is traditionally land free unless your China and busy creating islands made of sand, but in this instance that would defeat the reason why shipping is desperately trying to use the Strait of Hormuz. Trump really needs to think this one through again, again.

Oldest thing I have personally bought (other than our wedding rings), a Casio calculator purchased in 1989 when I started a new job, and I still use it for work. Other than that it’s a Whistler pencil sketching called The Longshoremen

Not seen a grass snake in the castle moat before. Fortunately mama duck and her 11 ducklings were out on the bank when this was swimming around.

Flynn wondering why he doesn’t get taken for “walks” the same way the neighbour’s cat seems to.

@ariaa.bsky.social this photo supposed from dawn yesterday is total BS, there were 20,000 people at Stonehenge yesterday morning, and not a single one is in your photo. This puts a big shadow of doubt over all your other content, makes me suspect you are a needy bot who posts purely for clicks.

C12th castle with a C20th war plane flying overhead. Zoom in and you can see one of the several B52s that take off from RAF Fairford and fly overhead everyday.
