I can't get an ID on this spider on my fence as it only shows it's underside but it's notable for the demonic smiley face on it's abdomen!

Red Kite #redkite #milvusmilvus

A visit with the fam to an Asian and then Eastern Eurpean shop. "We'll just by a little bit..."😄

Beautiful first quarter moon tonight in the UK.

Cheeky net needle knocked up with a little Walnut oil added. Guess a net gauge or two might now be in order 😄

I recently met up with a gardener/ landscaper who had some lengths of various UK woods for various #bushcraft projects. One non-native he was keen to show me was Mahonia. When cut it reveals this vivid yellow.

Testing a new #bridgecamera which l will be taking on a jaunt to #canada and #alaska .Blessed with favourable sunshine on a #natural walk.

#coltsfoot and #pussywillow coming through. #spring

Pleased to see #blackthorn flowers showing, another tick for #spring.

Folding saw made at the Instirute of Learning meet up in Danemead in Hertfordshire, UK. One can never chase too many and is on the more natural and rustic side. #iol #bushcraft

The Green Thai Chicken my eldest son ordered. Holy crap, l can see him glowing like a dead Jedi later!

As it is my birthplace l rather like this. #skegness

Could TNT have stuck two pundits of such differing heights together?!😄

This was a classic FA cup tie with a Premier league club playing at an astro turfed austere non-league ground. 0-0 at FT should have seen Tamworth get a lucrative replay but rule changes mean extra time which favours fitter elite players. Hmph.

My son started a Spotify jam, only too happy to gatecrash😄

Quick post Christmas idea. Use your notes app to make a note of how many card boxes you have, how much wrapping paper is left, what food you over purchased etc and then make a calendar note for October '25. Works a treat.

My wife and l sold a kidney each to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary heading to Canada & Alaska. As of today it's now *this year* and we've just been through the mind melting visa applications.
