And when the captain tannoyed today, to say the going would be left rough than we’ve had so far, I was disappointed 🌊🌊🌊😍

*Actually, not that big as cruise ships go, but still quite a lot larger than I’d like

No Tim, very sadly not. On a sodding great cruise ship, with engines and shit.

A block of white-ish stone, very smooth on top, and engraved with a map of the southern part of Spain.

A museum display, showing various tools used to engrave lithographic plates (none of which I can name or explain, sorry!)

A huge litho press, probably made of iron, 2-3m long, which various cogs and wheels and a path for the paper to follow through the process.

A litho-stone (tautological, I know), which some Spanish words and logos engraved and inked on its super-smooth top surface.

I found a lithographic museum!! 😍 #Cadiz

DAMN!!

LOL!

This is very clever! 10/10 ✅

A sunrise at sea. In the foreground is dark sea, with gentle waves just visible. In the middle is a line of black mountains, with the sun (yellow) about to rise over in the centre. The sky along the horizon is deep orange, with a mix of light and dark stratus clouds and blue sky above, fading to grey/blue at the very top

My view right now… sailing into Cadiz 😍

A green grassy background (with a darker green hairbrush, top left), mostly out-of focus). In the foreground is a tall stem with widows, longish leaves. At the top is a single flower is six rounded and slight overlapping petals that are white to the edges and bright yellow in the central 60%. Very striking!

I’ve discovered so many beautiful flowers in Portugal. I think this one is my favourite. INaturalist tells me it’s a Fern-leaved Beggarticks (bidens aurea). I understand they’re invasive, but this was the only one I saw. #flowers

I’m in Porto, and I’m reading Proto. It’s confusing.

Even on holiday, I’m training for the @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social Trek26!

It’s a 26-mile hike with nearly 5,000’ climbing 😬 in Wales in June.

Entirely reasonable response!

Good to know, thanks!

What’s the brand?

A book cover: a white sand-serif don’t top and bottom gives the author’s name (Andy Weir) and the book title (Project Hail Mary) in the middle a 30-something white man with short dirty-blond hair and a white t-shirt, floats mostly upside down, with spaceship-type multicoloured lighting panels in the background. We can only really see his head and torso, cut off at an angle from his right shoulder to left midriff. He looks a little anxious.

I am half way through Project Hail Mary. Despite rarely reading fiction, and not having read sci-fi since my teens, this is already one of my favourite books of the *century*!

I am SO jealous

A collage of four pink flower-species – pinky purple flowers against green backgrounds of leaves and/or grass. The picture at the bottom right also shows part of a stone wall at the bottom. Clockwise from top-left: red dead-nettle, honesty, herb Robert, and common vetch.

Grassy background. In the foreground are two white 7-petalled flowers with yellow centres.

I see your celandine, and raise you a wood anemone

Ah, I wish you much happy Karma-gathering

The LED overhead messages are my favourites 😁

Background is scrubby grass, in front of which is a cowslip, with five broad green leaves spread out at ground level, one is hiding a tall stalk, then at the top of a the stalk half a dozen or so trumpet-like yellow flowers are pointing in various directions.

I see your blackthorn blossom, and raise you a cowslip

Because you are a monster

Relateable. Sending uplifting vibes 🌝

Yes, I would suggest at least three

Golly 😳

Pretty much my reaction too!

Oh, definitely a boast 😁
