This morning’s listening - improving a rainy Saturday #Nowspinning #Vinyl #BettyBoo #Re-Released

Erm… something odd is going on: UK is getting votes! What The Hell Just Happened?! #Eurovision

Ok, my favourites are Luxembourg, Estonia, Malta & Denmark. Which usually means they’ll do really badly (sorry, guys) 🤣 #Eurovision

Loving the Malta entry! #Eurovision

I can’t do ‘the thing’ #Eurovision

I love how a key change always makes the crowd cheer 🤣 #Eurovision

Anybody watching #Eurovision tonight?

You know that feeling when you go into a nightclub when you’re older than everybody else and you feel like you don’t belong? We’ve had local elections in the UK this week, and that’s how I’m left feeling after the rise of the right.

Celebrating the weekend with this brilliant album #nowspinning #vinyl #TearsForFears #SongsFromTheBigChair

Roku marketing boss just gave the best pitch for Apple TV 4K

Now playing… #Primal #Scream #Screamadelica #Vinyl

Tonight’s listening 😊 #philcollins #nojacketrequired #1985 #retro #vinyl

Off with the old, on with the new! #R52 #MINI #restoration

Tonight’s listening #Massive #Attack #Blue #Lines

Good day for conspiracy theorists; busy day for DR and BCP practitioners! #Heathrow #Airport #Fire

Today I had the pleasure of driving a #Hyundai #i10 while our car was being serviced. 3 cylinders, turbo’d, and a whole lot of fun! Remarkably well specc’d too. Only gripe is having to disable the speed warnings every time the car is started.

First lawn mow of the year, and a bit of garden tidying too #middleagelife

So, new #Bergerac. As my friends know, the old one is one of my faves, but I thought I’d try the new one on launch day. It’s OK! But other than the names and location, it doesn’t have much in common with the original. Will I watch more? Yeah, probably, but I’ll still watch the original more..

Away for a few nights - this was the view of the night sky. Truly wonderful!

Oh dear; this doesn’t look good…. #BMW #Z4 #Gremlins

TL;DR “Politics” 😕 In other news, January is out of the way; thank goodness!

First dabble with Proxmox Virtual Environment going well - have migrated one VM from ESX using the built-in migration tool and built a new VM in-place - both are working without issue :) Next is to complete migrations and do away with ESX and rebuild as Proxmox VE

What’s your guilty pleasure? When I have some time to myself and a couple of hours to kill, I watch old episodes of #Bergerac. I love looking out for the old cars, and there’s something appealing about how the place looked in the past (I’ve no idea how it looks now - never been to Jersey).

Anybody used Proxmox? I’m going to have a go 😊

Strange weather here today, but at least the roads will be washed down so won’t be as grubby (hopefully). Wishing for sunnier climes, however!

SO many new followers - presumably bots or fraudsters 😡 Do let me know if you’re genuine though and I’ll apologise 😁

First cycle of 2025; admittedly on an exercise bike, and also admittedly only for 20 mins but I don’t think I’m very fit at the moment so it seemed like a good place to start.. #cycling #2025 #fatbloke

#uksnow Snowing more now. Settling on the cars and grass but not the pathways yet. BS49 3/10

Just started raining with a little bit of snow mixed in. #uksnow BS49 1/10

Simply Beautiful. #GavinAndStacey

A beautiful day in #Gibraltar today ☀️

You've got hail! @meteogib.bsky.social

#Gibraltar #Hail #Granizo - 12/12 Another pic of a fantastic blanket of hail left across parts of the Rock by that terrific thunderstorm - this shot from Europa walks thanks to MeteoGib follower Karen Borg.

Blimey. Hailstones in Gib! Guess where we’re going later today??!! 😳
