Fly Boy

Note the extremely winter jacket….

Spring seemed to be very cold and rainy and today it finally feels like summer is at least on its way, or has certainly sent a note with it’s arrival date.

Thankfully I can finally get out with the drone again and finally pass the GVC test and be licenced and insured for it, for project as well as fun.


Anyway, here is something from last summer and hopefully some good stuff from this summer later!

Random finds

So it has been a while since I have browsed around my network drive, I usually just use it for downloads nowadays, and for storing old images.

I came across a directory of images I that I kept when I was still living in The Netherlands that for one reason or another I kept. Most were ‘collected’ when I was loading data. Some of them made me laugh, some were (a little) inspirational and some were images of woman that were “wow” so to speak.

Here is a snapshot of these, click and hover for the Lightbox and explanation.

I have no idea who owns these images or what the copyright is on them. Am not sure I particularly care either ;-)

Winter Solstice

Today represents the arduous descent to the day with the shortest amount of light, the winter solstice. The peak of Saturnalia as represented by my light ‘candle’. As much as I love winter I do enjoy the sunlight being a bit longer as 8:45 is ridiculous for sunrise…

I hope that you are enjoying the Saturnalia festivities that you may have going on, or any other pagan rituals that you are into!

Snapshots of 2023

Have been unbelievably slack on keeping this journal up to date, something I hope to rectify next year. Thought I would post some shots from the year so far.

Breakfast Views

Acutely aware that it is now mid-summer and that it has felt like a metaphorical 5 minutes since my last post. In an attempt to not have this journal / blog / thread / twitter feed (delete as appropriate) fall off the interwebs I thought I would post my breakfast view this morning.

The Falkirk Wheel

The Fakirk Wheel

The Falkirk Wheel has just won a TripAdvisor People Choice award for 2023, so well done to the team in Falkirk Am very happy to be associated with such an engineering marvel and the whole Scottish Canals staff.
