I love this painting. If I'm driving home to Scarborough, I usually go over the Wolds. This captures the look beautifully.

Some incredibly good looking bikes on their current line up.

More of literally the finest Alfa Romeo content on Bluesky. This lovely Alfasud was basking in the morning sun at Aviemore a couple of weeks ago.

If AI can get Thunderbirds wrong, it can get anything wrong.

Certainly was a rainy / sunny / misty / clear / chilly / humid evening the other day out at Dalby Forest. The red phonebox at Bickley Gate looked like it had come from another planet in the midst of all the green.

In Cooplands this lunchtime.
Cooplands YTS lad (shouting to manager, in back of shop): "Do these curd tarts go off tomorrow?"
Me (inner monologue): "They're curd tarts YTS lad, they're off BEFORE THEY EVEN GO IN THE OVEN."

Les Drus under a pristine autumn sky, last year. While the weather was spectacular, I missed the early snowfall from the year before.

The excellent @themodernist.bsky.social shop keeping me out of mischief until train time. I'd better apologise right now if the need to own an Arndale Tower lamp gets a bit too much.

Laughed out loud on the tram. Felt had to apologise to fellow passengers.

OMG the bronze luxury of the Cavalier CD

Cool cars redux: er... are we including buses now?

Cool cars redux: random grab bag. The parking ticket on the new Lancia somehow makes it cooler, as did the fact the Interceptor lives down a medieval street in York. Nice little runabout 🙃

You pop out to the pub for a quick pint...But you're in Milan, so the pub is a rooftop bar literally made out of Aperol and mid century optimism which has its own reflecting pool.

You're waiting for the bus... But you're in Milan, so the bus is actually a stately vintage tramcar.

Phones and Troy's visit to the Highlands is still the benchmark that all my Scottish holidays have to measure up to.

Free items in new car are always good, but free PPE is on another level.

Cool cars redux: summer edition.

It's been a pleasure to spend time with this beautiful machine this weekend.

Humming some Piaf on Yorkshire's Quais de la Seine.

The record shop delivered solid gold today. I've been listening to Sibelius's 5th on my phone for the last few weeks, but this is so, so much better. I don't know the science, but this feels like I'm in the room with the orchestra. Beautiful.

That about sums it up.

If I was a billionaire I’d be busy playing tag in my fighter jets, spending time in my adult sized ball pool, swimming in my personal lazy river & wiping my fanny with £50 notes, not spunking money on a court case to make a marginalised community suffer even more.

Those things are so much better than they should be. Penguins think they're in the same class, but they have no idea.

I have been searching for internet content this good for 27 years, and I did not know it until now.

The lengths that she is prepared to go to in order to avoid confronting her own inadequacy are really amazing.

That has lovely Niles Canyon vibes. Anywhere close by?

Back from the paint shop (WRP Paint and Restoration - m.facebook.com/profile.php?... - who were amazing), and looking like new. I will probably get bored at some point of looking at its suddenly perfect paint. But not yet. #vanagon #vanlife #vwvan #westfalyeah #nationalparks #redwoods #getoutside

On the way home from the curry house: a tree slyly unfurling its leaves, the moon and an airliner crossing in front of it.

Guff might be the best word ever.

It's good that Liz has invested in a blue tick, so that you know it's the real, juiced up crazy you're going to get and not some pale imitation.
