Anyone who has ever tried giving a dog some tablets will recognise this…

And bearing in mind the speed with which the food disappears, it’s quite surprising.

The “Golden Daisy”, a tanker,at Fawley Refinery yesterday. Not very golden and not particularly daisy-like.

Red Jets 6 and 7 @redfunnelferry.bsky.social passing each other in Southampton Water yesterday morning. Fawley Refinery in the backgroumd.

A box of celebrations chocholates, on the lid is a mini Mars bar and behind it is a Milky Way

My fave joke that only works at this time of the year.

A view of the Milky Way from Mars.

“Sortation” facility ??!!!!?

Wolvercoat?? or somewhere in-between coat and cut…

paved yard with large green power pillar. The door has ripped off its hinges and all the electrical boards and switches inside are open to the elements…

Storm damage at the fun-factory this morning. Who ever said water and electricity don’t mix was talking rubbish - all the services supplied from this are still live…

Empty food tray with a label reading "Antipasta Pasta Salad, $7.99 /lb" next to trays with food at a self-service counter.

i'm no stephen hawking but i think what happens is that they cancel each other out

A screenshot of a social media post from USFWSPacific that reads: "SHE DID IT AGAIN! Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg. At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male." This tweet is paired with an image of two Laysan Albatrosses at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Wisdom, the oldest known wild bird, is shown alongside her new partner, demonstrating her enduring legacy as a remarkable seabird.

We humbly interrupt your scroll to bring you the news that Wisdom—the world's oldest known wild bird—is breeding again, age 74.

Go on girl. 😍

Brings back memories… the first VHS video recorder came from there, hired, and we would set up to watch a recorded programme only to find there had been a mixup with the timer and we had a tape full of static…🤣

Brindle dog with tennis ball in his mouth, looking at the camera, sitting in a small pool of water on a muddy beach….

Dog cooling off with his tennis ball…

Sandy beach, looking west towards orange sky and just set sun. old wooden sea defences…

Shanklin Beach yesterday evening. It was cold.

Definately this…

I’m intrigued… will probably get to jump the queue that is my reading list.

Irrespective of the fact that it’s blatant advertising … “gangland enforcers, espionage, sex, violence and murder” sounds like quite the read.

Orange lifebuoy lettering “Southampton”, old yellow lifebuoy light mounted to bracket in middle of ring. New light held in hand next to it.

Marine safety equipment, by its nature, has to be changed out every couple or 3 years. Every single time the manufacturer changes the shape and/or mounting arrangements… ffs…

Large ship with a tug in front, passing the end of the Town Quay in Southampton, Sun is setting behind the ship. The sea is rippled.

Big old container ship arriving in Southampton this afternoon.

Screen-grab of the sky news app on a mobile, a video clip with headline “Woman looses umbrella to storm Bert”.

How on earth can this be in any way newsworthy???

yes, they must have had fun correcting tue time on them bearing in mind that was ticket number 648!!

invitation card to a Microwave Cookery event in 1984. The card is turning brownish with age and the time of the event has been hand corrected over tippex.

In 1984 this was quite an event for Eynsham. I don’t think my parents went, they were a bit skeptical about “microwave cookery”.

Hammonds is gone, but in the day it was the place to go for cutting edge electricals.

At one stage we hired a colour TV with a wired remote control from Hammonds.

Wet road surface, wind battered bushes and the toad curving into the misty drizzle

Panorama of large area of white sea, breaking waves for some distance offshore, taken from on a hill above a chalk pit carpark.

Looking across the road and along the coast towards a headland. Breaking waves into the distance.

It is quite blustery on the South side of the Isle of Wight this afternoon. This is the Military Road on the South West corner. (disclaimer the in vehicle pic taken by passenger!)

just as USB C becomes totally widespread 😀

Tennis balls in the dark, before the rain started last night. The red smudge on the horizon is the transmitter tower at Rowridge (IoW)

These photo-luminescent tennis balls are almost indestructible, just need 10 seconds under a torch then last for ages.

True…
