Watched and enjoyed the long and enigmatic Trenque Lauquen on MUBI. 🎥
Decent perambulation this morning and nice to see a handsome visitor at the mere. One tree down en route after yesterday’s storm.

Watched Threads. Powerful stuff but very bleak. 🎥
Coffee with a view this morning at Thurstaston after very gentle perambulation. #Wirral
Slightly damp stroll this morning. About 16 ducks. Sadly one of last summer’s moorhen brood has acquired a badly damaged foot though still mobile and feeding. Three of the original four have survived to date. There’s also a duck with a longstanding limp so it’s not necessarily a portent.
Chilly morning stroll. Something like 18 ducks on the mere which isn’t necessarily good. Wonder where the extras came from and whether they’ll stay.
Having enjoyed watching the Spine Race I decided to sponsor by donating to Lucy Gossage’s JustGiving fundraiser in aid of her exceptionally worthy charity Move Against Cancer (Lucy won the women’s race). She’s still just shy of £20,000 which is a nice round number so do give if you can. www.justgiving.com/page/lucy…
Decent perambulation this morning. 15 ducks on the mere, presumably inc 3 visitors. Plenty of birdsong, couple of Merlin scans from yesterday attached.
Haven’t seen too much fpv of the Spine Race but this gives a superb highlight summary of the first 35 miles from a disappointed dnf. Still amazing and no, I’m not tempted 😉 youtu.be/r-yJ4RjNw…

More great coverage of the Spine Race. Wonderful scenery, epic performances and some deep personal insights. youtu.be/7gTocqj3V…
RIP Denis Law. One of my childhood heroes, I was fortunate to have met him, albeit briefly, in January 1970.
Not that I have much by way of talent but coincidentally I was thinking of sketching some OpenSim history builds. As part of a new campaign, David Hockney is encouraging the nation to get drawing - The Art Newspaper - International art news and events www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/01/1…
One of those days with a particularly lovely light at #NessGardens yesterday.
A little slippy underfoot so just a gentle perambulation this morning. Still some ice on the mere. Duck numbers back to normal.
Toying with the idea of having a play with loops.video before all the young people turn up.
Will be celebrating grey bin collection instead of inauguration. If and when it happens, of course. #binchat #WirralWest
Starting to wonder if there’s something special about me that means I find it easy to spot potholes without the need for AI.
Afternoon perambulation. Zero ducks, just a distant glimpse of a wary moorhen. Ice on mere thinning but apparently still supports a sizeable log (not my work, ditto ball).
