Quick walk down the local canal this morning before the rain came in. Not much to see other than one of the Cormorants chilling out.

9 mile walk from Tilberthwaite to Elterwater via Langdale.
Perfect conditions for it but I didn't get many pictures.

Was hoping to get away with just doing 1 or 2 days at Rebellion festival this year but after looking at the day splits it looks like I'm going to have to do all 4 fucking days again 🙄
Oh well. There's worse problems to have.

Magnificent!

I give them walnuts, they let me take pictures. Everyone wins!

Sad to hear about the passing of Chris AKA Captain Hotknives.
Quite a character.

On route to Manchester to see Bob Vylan tonight which is also my first gig of 2026.
Been a while since I last saw them and didn't hear much about them in 2025. Wonder if they got up to much 🤣

True enough! I'll think about it that way

Haven't managed to go to any gigs this month so I'm not going to be able to match last year's achievement of going to at least one gig for every month of the year.
Got two coming up in February though so at least there's something in sight.

Yesterday's walk around Coniston, Yewdale and Tarn Hows. Met some of the friendliest sheep ever.

Yesterday's walk around Skelwith Bridge, Elterwater, Chapel Stile and Loughrigg Tarn.

First time on the bike in about 4 months. Pleasant but pretty damn cold. The local canal is frozen solid 🥶

Couple of decent Christmas gifts this morning. Been wanting to read both of these for a while 🎄

A very damp Haybridge nature reserve this morning. Not much to be seen unfortunately.

8.5 mile walk this morning. Crooklands canal tow paths and then over Holme Park Fell and Farleton Knott.

😆😆

6music seem to have gone early with the fucking Christmas songs this year. I'm sure they normally leave it until much later than this 😠

Same! Got a pretty big pile of unread ones to get through but I keep ordering more to add to it!

This world cup draw coverage is fucking mental. It's all been about feeding Donald Trumps ego but now the absolute legend Lauryn Hill is performing live.

Recent vinyl purchase. Been after a copy of this for a while because it's probably in my top 10 albums of all time.
Double LP version with various bonus tracks and alternate versions on disc 2.

Absolutely disgusting that in 2025 supermarkets and shops still insist on storing pizzas in the fridge section upright/sideways so all the toppings have slid off before you've even bought the fucker.
