Jim Jones Allstars in Edinburgh last night.

Diamondback in my Edinburgh trap this morning but ‘orrible weather front moving in tonight from the west.

What a belter….

I had that one back in the day!

…….and so it begins! Another mothing year in Edinburgh. #teammoth

De Prael in Amsterdam, the noo.

Visited the Oproer Brewery pub in Utrecht yesterday.

Making invert sugar for an old Scottish beer recipe from 1939 - Maclays PA 7d.

Paying homage to one of my favourite beers today - @swannaybrewery.com St Magnus. One of Scotland’s finest. #homebrew

Pale Brindled Beauty from yesterday at work in Edinburgh. #teammoth

My old patch! Next time head to the north shore and walk along the sand to Seamill. Better habitat and more species. 👍

A ridiculous development. We already produce a surplus of electricity in Scotland. All about profit. Please sign if you get the chance.

Oh, it’s chilly outside isn’t it…..sorry - Chile. It’s Chile outside. Here’s some Humboldt Penguins from yesterday, north of Valparaiso. 🇨🇱

Mjallby winner for Sweden against England in 1998 was pretty special for Celtic fans at the time.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

It’s October, must be the time of year again for……Swami John Reis! The Swami brought the party to Glasgow tonight!

Getting better……

Yeah, love these wee things! Had a really well marked one a couple of months ago. So variable!

I spy with my little eye….Acleris literana! On a bollard light at work today in Edinburgh. #teammoth

Totally ran out of oomph with moth trapping this autumn. I put the trap out last night though. Two moths, one of which was this spanking Green-brindled Crescent. #teammoth

Trying to up my sourdough game….. getting there.

Dangerously tasty!

Thought I’d get into the seasonal spirit so I brewed a spiced pumpkin latte porter. Comes in at 7.2%. A bit heavy on the coffee but hopefully that’ll fade a bit to let the spices shine.

Another amazing compilation by @cherryredrecords.bsky.social - well done! Takes me right back!

Stranraer Oyster Festival whiskey and Irn Bru hot sauce madness! Damn it goes well with oysters!

Nice - you must be due a Barra mega surely?

Excellent club badge!
