Had a little wander around Black Rock before going to ASDA to see if there was anything going on. Not often you see someone actually catch something!

Light
Having barely seen daylight this week, I wanted to be outside as much as possible today. It didn't really work out that way, but this walk more than made up for it!

I love the clipboard; it's my favourite part of an OS, and it's so under-used. On my laptop, I use Launchbar, which has a brilliant built-in clipboard manager that I have come to rely on. The last week of data entry would've been hellish without it. What I tend to do is copy...
Pigeon
This pigeon was on the roof near Tesco this morning. This has been a very busy week, but it's largely my own fault.
Data Entry
I spent around 5 hours today doing data entry. I hate data entry but it's really satisfying when it's done. I just wish you could get that satisfaction without needing to do all the insufferable work.
Top Trumps
Long day again. I've been staring at Craft admin all day; the last thing I want to be doing right now is writing this in here, if I'm honest.
Wishful Thinking
I love it when dogs do this; I like to imagine a scenario where they could telepathically influence you, or move objects telekinetically. It'd be fun for a day, for them at least.
Life is effort and I'll stop when I die
I'm reluctant to use a Rick and Morty quote anywhere on this site, but it's a good quote and it's from when the show still had legs.
Obsolescence
Today has been wall-to-wall, and I have been thinking about obsolescence and a bunch of other things that swirl around with that.
Repetition
I've walked down here probably in the thousands of times now, and your mood, the light, someone standing there, can make it feel totally different.
Prints
Printing images, like going to the gym, is something I don't naturally prioritise, but I'm always glad I've done it, and always say I should do it more.
January Recap
January is over. Done. Finished. I think that was the longest month in recorded history. I feel like I always say that.
I've had a good month for photo opportunities this month. Dan and I did a blacksmithing course (I still haven't used my bottle opener because I am a good b...
And, done.
Three hundred and sixty five consecutive days of pictures. Not gonna lie, it feels pretty great to have done it.
When you're right, you're right
This just amused me. Sometimes medium format seems to make anything look good.
Friday's Birthday
It was Friday's fourth birthday. I can't believe she's been with us for nearly four years.
Netball
I've been to see Tabitha play netball at school a few weeks in a row, and today my efforts were rewarded: the weather was beautiful!
Flood
Went to Dan's to work today. There's always something weird about the roads when I go to work there. Today: flooding.
abxylute
The latest stop on my quest to find the ultimate solution for handheld retro gaming.
Vein
Last U15's badminton match of the season. It's only been 5 weekends this year but it always feels like so much more!
Bubble tea
Charlotte and Tabitha are obsessed with Too Good to Go. I suppose there's worse things to be obsessed with.
Drove past A Fence field just now, and there's a tractor taking it away.

A Fence
It's not an actively-held opinion or anything, but I've always felt like still life photography is a bit of a cop-out. Your subject just sits there, patiently, you point your camera, take your picture, and that's it.
Rain
First phone photo in ages, but my bag was in the boot with my camera in it 🤦♂️
Snowdrop
I'm sure I say this every year but it can't be true every year. It feels early for snowdrops. I love snowdrops.
Three's Company
Walked the dog to the seafront this morning and was treated to these delightfully lairy seagulls on the cliff face.

Sven sent me a video this morning. Coincidentally it's a video that YouTube has wanted me to watch for a while now but, for whatever reason, I have avoided it. I was half right to be avoiding it. I'm tired of hearing about AI being forced into things.
There's an interesting ...
Walk to the wall
Charlotte's parents took the dog for a walk so we went for an extremely rare dog-less walk. It was nice.
Separate
I need to find a way to be more varied with drone photos. All mine always look the same. The camera on the mini 3 is pretty poor as well.
Blacksmithing
Dan and I did a blacksmithing course with Thomas Gontar, and it was a lot of fun. Even the blisters and dead arms.
Opportunity
Sometimes, my only opportunity to take a photo outside is when I'm walking the dog. That's extremely limiting.
