Charismatic Duck

Apple blossom time again...

Misty train trundle...

Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.

Close up of two freshly unfurled white blossom flowers at the tip of a thorny and green-bud covered blackthorn branch

First of the blackthorn blossom...

Sigh... It's very difficult being Welsh at the moment... #rugby

Canterbury walk flora...

@elliechowns.bsky.social: "We need to recognise that people like Jim Ratcliffe are much more of the problem than people who are coming to this country to contribute."

Flat white coffee in a black cup and saucer, black cherry red velvet cake in the shape of a heart on a white plate

Enjoying the vibe in a small, out-of-the-way cafe in Ramsgate; the coffee and food are excellent; around me, people are happily chatting, dogs are snoozing, music plays in the background... A calm oasis...

A view of Waterloo station from 8 floors up, dark cobalt sky, yellow and orange glow of lights, tall buildings disappearing into the distance, taken through a rain streaked window...

Stayed in Waterloo a few days ago - the Bladerunner visual vibe was much appreciated and enjoyed...

New album drops from Karnivool, Silversun Pickups, AND Pucifer..?
I don't have enough ears for all this aural goodness!

this is insane

Pre-dawn sky, dark textures above a dark, train speed blurred field, somewhere in East Kent

Pre-dawn sky textures over Thanet...

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Blue sky and metal walkways between redbrick buildings, cobbled street and rows of bollards forming offset lines of perspective and symmetry

Post Prandial Perambulations...

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

The European Convention on Human Rights

Happy Birthday to the European Convention on Human Rights, which has helped to protect #OurRightsAndFreedoms for 75 years.

Here are more than 200 examples, from across the continent👇

😂😂 This is spot on - lol

Fiery sunrise clouds over train station car park

Fiery sunrise lit clouds over park

Dawntide SkyFire over Ramsgate...

Blue sky, clouds, sea, and rocky shore

Blue sky, clouds, sea, and sand

White cliffs below orange and purple pre-sunset clouds

White cliffs under a pre-sunset lit array of firey clouds, beach, and a patch of blue sky

Dumpton Gap giving good sky (again)

Top bit of black iron anchor against blue sky and clouds

The three masts and rigging of the Cutty Sark against a cloud darkening sky

Sunlight and shadows on the metal and concrete superstructure of a wharf at low tide on the Thames... The white dome of the O2 can be seen downstream on the opposite shore.

Trinity Hospital tower and clock, pastal colours against diffuse white cloud and blue sky

A Saturday Stroll in Greenwich

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Very bright and very early, sunlit opening into a playing field between a wall covered in clumsy graffiti and a line of trees...

The sunlit path...

Brexit promised to “take back control of our borders”
But it also created huge labour shortages
So, govt issued huge numbers of visas to fill the gaps.
It ended reciprocal asylum arrangements with the EU
So, crossings went up.

Govt response?
“Take back control of our borders”
Such a ruinous deceit.

A very fluffy white with black and tortoise splodges) cat loafing in a cupboard with a very odd look on its face...

Shifting stuff around from the Steptoesque horror that is my garage... Luckily Jasper is on hand to lend a paw...

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong!

We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science

(you can add your name still if you are in a relevant field)

Apple blossom - pinkish white petals and yellow stamens and pistils, against a blurred backdrop of green leaves and dark slim branches

I have a new toy - the dinky little Viltrox 25mm 1.7 Air, perfect for my dinky little Nikon Zfc... Straight outta the back of the camera, no edits, crops, or post fiddling... Fab!

Early morning sun and grass and sky and trees and long shadows

Early morning sun and grass and sky and trees and long shadows

Another early morning train trundle in the glorious spring sunshine

First light of the sun peeping through gap between suburban houses, silhouetted against orange sky

Stoopid early meeting means stoopid early train... But did get to see stoopid beautiful sunrise... First peeping glimmer between the houses...
