That moment when you look at a previously full screen of app icons on your phone and there's a hole where one app is missing, but you have no idea what it was and when it dissapeared.

Last night's sunset at #Freshwater on the #IsleofWight

The sea pinks/pink thrift in bloom. Mermaid Rock has been steadily eroding over the past couple of years and despite photographing this view repeatedly it now looks very different compared to the last time that Steve (my husband ) took it.

The sea is often this beautiful colour during the late spring and early summer. The clear sky gave little detail in the sunset but a vivid sky might have been a bit hectic for this scene! #Photography

A clear sky with a sunburst hitting the cliffs over a turquoise calm sea, Two large rock stacks stand in the water, pink flowers adorn the edge of the cliff. A colourful and calm view.

Dilapidated palace, with storks' nests, Marrakech
#photography #Morocco #storks #palace

A large, derelict, roofless palace building. The walls are topped by a string of nests, with storks roosting on them

@strum I wonder what the storks think of it?

I've only just tried Chat GPT. I used it today to find out something to do with some software I'm using. The conversation turned into a counseling session.

@ArtemisPersists My thoughts exactly. I'm not as antimonarchy as much as I used to be as I don't think an elected president would be a good idea. But why are they hanging on to this ridiculous idea of my cloak has to be bigger, longer and more excessive than everyone else's. It's just a signal of status. I'm not as critical of Charles as some are but this picture doesn't help his PR.

Charles, "One day, son, all this will be yours!"
William, "What the curtains?"
Charles, "No son, not the curtains. I'm wearing the curtains. Get your own curtains!"

Really interesting listening to This Cultural Life about Gilbert and George this evening while cooking my dinner. @BBCRadio4 at its best.

Imagine writing a law in 2023, with only 27 words, to regulate weapons built by future generations in 2255—despite your zero knowledge of tech 232 years in the future—and no other context is available.

That's how absurd it sounds when people today claim a 1791 Amendment encompasses all weapons in 2023 and cannot be questioned in any capacity.
