Mountain biking piscator that likes space stuff (except space Karen) I'm quite partial to pub quizzes, beer, sci-fi & horror movies and outdoors type stuff.

I hate these ones! Wordle 1,308 6/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Anyone else play wordle, read the bot analysis ripping into your guesses telling you how crap they were, then say to yourself "Still beat you though didn't I you AI twat" when you find out the bot took more attempts? No? Just me?

One from a few years ago, just 15oz off the UK record at 20lb 6oz. Was convinced it'd break it the following year as had caught it every year for 6 years around a pound heavier than the previous, but sadly never saw it again after this one. BG swapped to protect the venue @ clubs request.

First day fishing in forever. Didn't catch anything but the cold today, but was nice to get some fresh air for a few hours. The sun even made a brief appearance through the cloud as it was setting over the Severn bridges, so here's the obligatory sunset photo!

Merry Crimbo for those who celebrate. Let us take a minute to remember the true meaning of xmas, the birth of our lord and saviour, Sir Isaac Newton (well, kind of), who invented gravity, without which we'd all be floating off into space.

That's work done for 2024. I'd go to the local pub to celebrate but there aren't any anymore. Going to be a fairly dry Xmas this year!

Andromeda again, but this time with a skywatcher star adventurer for tracking. Same camera as before, but with the canon 70-300 IS ii @ 300mm F5.6. 61 x 60s subs, post processing done mostly for free with dss, gimp and luminar 3

This fuzzy blob was my first ever attempt at the Andromeda galaxy. Taken with a canon 700d and sigma 105mm macro. I didn't have any tracking ability, so was limited to 3.2s exposures iirc, and only took about 50 in total. Still amazing what you can see with no specialist astro gear though.

So today bluesky really really wants me to look at squirrel or fox photos for some reason and I have no idea why. About half my feed is one or the other! It's nice it suggests things outside my usual circle, I like this, but this is a bit much tbh.
