@lowqualityfacts I thought of a wisecrack at Amazonโ€™s expense three days before I read this. Unfortunately itโ€™s now out of stock.

@Troggie good advice about not fretting about gear or qualifications. Better to get out there and try then reflect on what you like and think could be improved upon. The comment about not being able to stand for long made me think about the photos taken by @Rachelburch around Devon. Perhaps you could get some inspiration and or advice from her.

Good luck.

Nice to see the Royals involving themselves in climate change chat ahead of COP30, finger wagging at the world about how we should all do more. William saying "But these goals will remain out of reach unless we move from promises to action - grounded in respect, equity, and shared responsibility."

This coming from a family of wealth hoarders who could completely eradicate homelessness in the UK 36 times over and still have nearly a billion pounds left over. They could implement a universal basic income bringing many more minds to the fore to tackle actual problems rather than their own poverty and despair. Refocus the nation from fast food and fast culture into something more sustainable and meaningful. Instead he just makes empty soundbytes so he can look like he cares and is doing something important. Like watching a whole load of people fall to their death, whilst flapping his arms at them in encouragement.

'If we save the sea, we save our world', he says. He owns the fucking sea. The Crown Estate owns the territorial seabed out to 12 nautical miles and around half of the foreshore around England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Why doesn't he do something about it. Instead of appearing on telly to tell other people what to do. Noone cares about anything or anyone. Until the people who can take action do take action, how do they expect others will? William talking about equity and shared responsibility..... does he even understand how that sounds to the rest of the world?

Anyway wooooosaaaaaaah, hurrah! Saturday! Let's get out there and do this! I missed my run this morning due to sleeping, so am going to attempt to go out during the day instead in this unbelievable heat like an idiot. Hooray! Hope you're all fab. Sorry for the moan. Bastards though, all of them. X

In the incessant, infinite, never-ending purgatory that is 'making good choices', I am this evening drinking Tanqueray Flor De Sevilla alcohol-free gin (which I paid ยฃ10 for because I am a MUG) with Fever Tree Summer Garden tonic, over what some Mixologists are calling a 'fuck ton' of ice. I regret very deeply to inform you that it is absolutely tremendous. Possibly the most expensive non-alcoholic drink I've ever had at home. But frankly it is delightful. Floral AF.

@JackTheCat what is there to object to in this, Labour? Disappointing to put it mildly.

@TwoClownsEating @blueorangeblue @wilpercy Iโ€™m afraid that approximation doesnโ€™t really warrant the sins of the grandfather being visited on helpless, innocent off spring.

I imagine an explosive rear end eructation.

#NowPlaying Lalo Schifrin, Bullitt, Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Warner Bros / Speakers Corner, 2017). The soundtrack to the classic 1968 Steve McQueen film is hands down my favorite Schifrin work, and this analog remastered, 180 gram vinyl, German reissue of the album is definitely one for the audiophile nerdsโ€”it sounds incredible. The Argentinian composer passed away today at 93 years old, leaving behind an epic catalog of work, most notably film and TV scores, the funkiest and coolest big band jams the world has ever known.

@TwoClownsEating @blueorangeblue it doesnโ€™t necessarily have to written down. It can become part of collective memory. I heard about a gentleman in Kenya, possibly Nigeria who was known as โ€˜The man whose grandfather farted.โ€™
