I think I'm just winning on the hours riding vs hours cleaning this week. But only just! 😂 #kawasaki #ninja1000sx

Tonight's dram is this 17yo Peated Highland. It's not quite in Islay territory but immensely (and dangerously!) quaffable.

You can't beat a long motorcycle ride for clearing the mind of all the shit going on in the world at the moment. Especially when you get to park next to a 747 while you refuel with a cup of tea and a slice of cake. #kawasaki #ninja1000sx #cotswoldairport

Fuck me. Newsnight on BBC2 have given airtime to someone called Carla Sands who just reiterated more of Trump's lies. Apparently, Zelenskyy has a yacht and is kidnapping people of the streets to go & fight in the war.

I am 60 years old and I don't remember ever being as shocked at a news item as seeing Trump and Vance bullying Zelenskyy. And nothing from Starmer despite so many other European leaders offering their support to Ukraine.

I've had this bottle a while but Burns Night seemed a good excuse to crack it open! #whisky #scotchwhisky #glenscotia #campbelltown

Tonight's dram is this absolutely gorgeous 8 year-old Laphroaig. The 350ml bottle is taken straight from the cask and included in the price of the distillery tour. Bargain!

As ever, a trip to @milroysofsoho.bsky.social and their excellent, knowledgeable staff introduced me to some lovely whiskies that I'd not necessarily choose for myself. #whisky #scotchwhisky 2/2

Despite the recent cold weather I still think it's a little early for goosanders to arrive at the local lakes & river. They are usually here in the new year. Here are a male & female from earlier this year. #goosander #ukwildlife #canonphotography

A cheeky Tuesday night dram (well, it is cold!). This is a 10 year-old Bunnahabhain Distillery Exclusive bought on my recent trip to Islay. It has been matured in Canasta sherry casks and comes in at 58.4% ABV so adding a little water is advised! #whisky #scotchwhisky #islaywhisky #bunnahabhain

Apropos of nothing, here's a photo of Supermarine Spitfire MK Vc AR501 flown at The Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden. Shot using a Canon 80D & EF 100-400ii lens #supermarinespitfire #aviationphotography #airshowphotography #canonphotography #theshutteworthcollection

Tonight's dram is a 13 year-old Caol Ila Fèis Ile 2023. It's a punchy 60.4% ABV so needs some water to dampen its fiery, smoky palate. And a finish that goes on & on. #whisky #scotchwhisky #caolila

I occasionally dabble in a bit of astrophotography. These were all taken from my back garden in the UK with a Canon 80D and 200mm lens on a Star Adventurer 2i tracking mount.

A male kingfisher spotted on my local river last year. I've lived here for 15 years and it took me that long to get a decent shot of one.
