A great example of the "it doesn't exist until it's happened to me personally" mindset. Though I'll note Clarkson addressed this last year, and claimed that his previous climate denialism was "a joke". Which is a subcategory of the aforementioned mindset.

My view from the bakery at 5.30am. Makes getting out of bed with it

And it forces you to slow down and take in every aspect of the frame. I’ve a long way to go and I’m not aiming to be a pro but I’m enjoying the process

Camera practice. I have taken some really good pictures with my iPhone, but there is something really satisfying about using a camera. As an art student back in the olden days, I used an analogue camera to take photos that I would then paint from. I feel more connected to the subject…

Murder on The Links by Agatha Christie, I just started re-reading her books in order and they are better than I remember 😊

I bought myself a bridge camera. This is the first picture I took. I feel like I will never get a better picture! Photography is hard! Kudos to photographers! 📸

‘Intrinsically connected’: how human neurodiversity could help save nature Biodiversity is linked to people’s diversity, and nature lends itself to people who are different, says author Joe Harkness

The first big bit of coverage for #neurodivergentbynature drops tomorrow in the Guardian newspaper, thanks to the brilliant @patrickbarkham.bsky.social It’s available online now: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If I time my evening walk just right, she’s sat there ready for a chat and cheek rubs😻

No, your artificial lawn is not a "life hack". It's another tiny nail in the planet's coffin.

I found this just awful. An insipid cast and full of tired cliches. It reads like the author was mostly bored by, and sometimes outright hated her characters. In the end I didn’t care what happened and struggled to finish ⭐️⭐️/5

A yellow book cover with black text reading “On the Calculation of Volume” by Solvej Balle. The title words “THE”, “CALCULATION”, and “VOLUME” are underlined. The center of the cover features a photo of a person with short reddish hair, wearing a green top, looking out a window.

My goodness this stressed me out! No resolution, no light at the end of the tunnel, no happy ending! Did I enjoy it? No. Will I read the next one? Absolutely!
I found this well written, compelling and reminded me of an anxiety inducing story by Shirley Jackson. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good to be back out on the trails at #OnePlanetAdventure in Llandegla. Yes I was running but I was wearing a Fox racing tee so everyone would still know how cool I am!
