The My Toyota app has been updated and is now rolling out more of the features that were previously only available on certain models and returning others that had disappeared in some cases, like my Yaris Hybrid’s remote locking. Welcome back!

Word of the day is ‘lickspittle’ (17th century): a person who fawns upon someone in power for personal gain.

Happy St. David’s Day to you all! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus i chi gyd!

A scene across the fields from outside my caravan in North Wales. I know it like the back of my hand but changes in weather, seasons and even the time of day, can provide so many different views. #photography #cymru #wales

I was there

The Three Graces at Liverpool’s Pier Head. #liverpool #photography

Well, that’s a first. Pleasant chap knocked on the door and announced himself as from the dojo. My blank look caused him to explain it was the local martial arts centre. I’d normally know that but my brain was awol on a Sunday afternoon! 🥋

Another oldie of mine. A different look at FINDAC’s work on the Duke of Lancaster Fun Ship at Llannerch-y-Mor, North Wales. I was only a metre or so from the Dee Estuary to take this but worth it, as it cannot be repeated. The ship has since been repainted. #photography #streetart

Timehop today. Gosh, the number of times I’ve walked across that bridge in all kinds of weather. Long time ago, mind you!

I love my iPhone 15 Pro and all its features, including AI but do you know what feature I'd really wanted? The ability to search photo albums by name. I've just found that it's 'sort of' there but a search from the list of albums would be nice.

Today’s photo from my archive. The Welcoming Christ Sculpture by Elizabeth Frink, Liverpool Cathedral. #photography #Liverpool #sculpture #architecture

Well, it seems calmer than that here at the moment but not getting complacent quite yet. Take care, especially if you're out n about.

Nothing quite tells you that Christmas is totally over as when you've eaten the last mince pie (Sunday) and watched every "A Ghost Story for Christmas" recorded over the season... Happy New Year! 😄

I always feel uncommonly smug when I’ve put out the recycling for tomorrow’s collection, then emptied and washed another plastic bottle, in time to add it to the appropriate bag. ♻️ 😄

Today’s photo, another from Llyn Tegid, Bala Lake, North Wales. #photography #wales #cymru

Decided to get back into using a Filofax and actually writing things down. I’ve had five previously and used them from the ‘80s until 2015. Just treated myself to this one.

Today’s photo. Banksy’s Dismaland, Weston-super-Mare, 2015. A truly incredible experience. #photography #banksy #art

Totally flat battery on car today. Too flat to even flash its burglar alarm light, let alone open doors. When I did get in with emergency manual key, no dashboard lights at all!

I used to be a bit of a stationery nerd and I still have my moments but how could I get to the age of 70 without ever trying erasable ink pens before? Talk about game changer! Of course, me being me, I now have an idea how they work too. 😊

Another of my photos from the vaults… “Peeping Shower Boys” by Banksy. Dismaland, Weston-super-Mare, 2015. #photography #art #Banksy

Hail, Bright, Drizzle, Grey & Gloom... no, not a Dickensian firm of lawyers but today's weather. Been out to the bin and that'll do, thank you!

A leisurely 45 minutes and all the Christmas decorations are down and put away, with the exception of the tree, which I'll do tomorrow. It can have one last evening.
