So did Stretford lend you to Larne as their best player in an act of sportsmanship, or did they “send ‘em Groom” in an act of gamesmanship? 🤣

Spent a wonderful evening in the #Perth museum here in Bonnie #Scotland this evening, sampling whiskies from the #Macbeth collection - linked to a fab exhibition about Macbeth (the real person) and that of Shakespearean fame. Stunning - particularly the #Clyneslish, the #BenNevis & the #Laphroaig!

That’s just blown your “21” in perpetuity 😀

I have the 12-45 by default of it being bundled with my OM-5 here in the UK. I thought I’d crave the f2.8 of the 12-40 but no, more than happy with the results. It’s also a more compact lens, though as you know the #M43 is a boon for portability and handheld at all times 😀

Wonderful!

Spent today mooching up and down the @worthvalley.bsky.social KWVR heritage line, complete with a ploughman’s lunch version of afternoon tea in a Pullman carriage steaming to/fro. Wonderful day. That, and messing about with the art filters on my OM-5!

Flowers. Sort of. Mesmerising in a slight breeze. #FlowersOfBluesky #StainlessSteel #Articulated

All I can say is that with shredding/shedding and cat/car … welcome to my word 😀

Sad news. Condolences to his family and to yourselves.

With @thecpc.ac.uk colleagues at the #BlackCountryLivingMuseum in the West Midland for our annual summer catch up. Always wonderful to see folk face to face.

PS. Got Queen Bee!

Ditto. I couldn’t understand why. Trouble with the NYT games app is you have to think in American. Not easy for the Yanks, let alone the limeys 🤣

I ran your photo of the original slide through ChatGPT and it thinks that the handwriting says “Auf (On) Mount Baber” (Alabama). If the car is American and so is the registration plate, would this make sense. Googling the mountain range gives an impression that it could be correct?

Aspects of tonight’s Whit Friday #BrassBand contests across Tameside & Saddleworth this evening. From the Denton contest. @bbe.org.uk

The reason why Kent C, advertised a £350m agency “contract” - not really a contract, a ‘framework’, is it arranges ‘frameworks’ that the wider public sector can access and it has to advertise the maximum potential value over a the maximum duration for the agreement. Not rocket science, procurement!
