Stupid things to say; 1. “I was thinking to myself….” Who else could you ‘think to’? 2. “It was 2am in the morning.” Good. There is no 2am in the afternoon. 3. “There are several alternatives.” No, there can, by definition, only be one alternative.


Just assume there are no gods, no devils, no sins, no angels, no demons, no souls, no spirits, no ghosts, no prophecies, no afterlife; indeed nothing paranormal. None of these have EVER been proven beyond reasonable doubt. Then what do you have? Reality.

Unique is a good word. It needs no qualification. Something is either unique, or it’s not. It cannot be ‘very’ unique, or ‘fairly’ unique, or even ‘rather’ unique. It’s either unique - or it’s not. I’m unique. Like everyone else.


I was pleased with this Peppered Moth, Biston betularia f. carbonaria, last night. Peppered Moth is not uncommon in my garden, but I have rarely recorded this form. #moths

WTF does this platform still insist on showing me incessant gambling and sports adverts? I have zero interest in either.


FFS! WHERE IS THE FECKIN’ DISLIKE BUTTON ON ‘X’? We desperately need one!


Accidentally overheard conversations. Mid-1960’s. I was in my mid-to late teens. At a late-night eatery, a ‘young lady’ said to her male companion in a very strong Scottish accent; “I cannae gi’ya a fok, but I’ll gi’ya a wonk”! I still have no idea what she meant! 🙄🤭🤣🤣


My first Swift, Apus apus, of the year over my North-east Norfolk garden a few moments ago. Still yet to see Swallow or House Martin though. 😢


Dear X or Twitter, or whatever else you want to be called; I don’t own a pair of Trainers. I never will. I don’t gamble. I never will. I don’t want to buy a new car. I never will. I hate football. I always will. Please stop with the ill-informed ‘targeted’ advertising.


My littlest cat appears to have chosen a house-brick as her new Best Friend. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #cats

She’s in disgrace this evening. She has pushed the boundaries twice today. She KNOWS when I’m not pleased. 😻😻

Just wondering how long it will be before the USAF bases in the U.K. are withdrawn. It’s been mooted before…..


I’ve just attempted to book an appointment at my GP’s Practice on-line. There are ZERO appointments for the next 14 days! However, when I physically go there, almost all the seats in the waiting rooms are empty. WTF is going on? No wonder Hospital A&E’s are swamped!


BT has changed my old landline to digital. I have Caller ID. When I get a call, 90% of the time my Caller ID readout says, “Nuisance?” I love it. I can ignore even more calls now.
