It looked as if the birds had cleaned out the food left out for them yesterday, so I refilled it.
Then found this acrobatic squirrel hoovering it all up!

Another teeny-tiny flower in amongst the detritus at the edge of the 'drive'
This one's apparently a 'Herb Robert' who I believe used to play with the Tijuana Brass way back when...

Found these teeny-tiny flowers growing out of the garden wall.
Apparently, they're Ivy-leaved Toadflax. Originally from Italy.
Bloody foreign flowers coming over here and growing in our walls! 😀
Some tiny 'Scarlet Pimpernel' flowers (I think!)
Taken at Eardington Nature Reserve near #Bridgnorth in #Shropshire
Lots of birds around, sadly no Dragonflies or Damselflies (yet) so I had to make do with teeny tiny flowers instead.

Had a quick jaunt along a bit of the Staffordshire canal between Stourton and Kinver yesterday. Nice pleasant time until the inevitable rain!

Stanley the cat is not impressed that humans appear to have made May quite a bit hotter than it should be.

Some beach huts on the sea front at Blyth, Northumberland.
Apparently they can be rented by the day and contain some deck chairs, a kettle, coat hooks and a small 'work space'!
Just the thing after a bracing swim in the North Sea.
Probably.😄

Bought 2 fresh cream apple turnovers this morning. lovely.😋
Being essentially right angle triangle pastry filled with apple and cream you'd have thought they'd fit in a square box??
They complained the box wasn't big enough but would do their best to fit them in...
Hmmmm... 😂

A few pics from early last week in and around Whitley Bay in North Tyneside.
Less than a minute earlier the Spanish City was bathed in a bright sunbeam which I typically missed!

The ruins of Tynemouth Priory and Castle viewed from St. Mary's Island in the early morning.
The lower cliffs of Cullercoats Bay in front of the ruins, and the land on the far side of the River Tyne beyond.
The North Sea looking the calmest I've seen it for some time!
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
Oh dear, starting the day off crying with laughter at James O'Brien on LBC. 😂
For *cough* some reason *cough* I woke up this morning thinking about these sketches from Little Britain...

@altomare@oldbytes.space For many years I was an on-site engineer at a manufacturing business for my sins.
I still remember the Monday morning I turned up for work to find 3 CDC 300 MB drives down and an unbootable system.
The operator had found it unbootable when they arrived so had taken the disk pack out of the primary drive and tried it in 2 others after switching the drive IDs.
Result was 3 crashed disk drives which to eventually repair exhausted the company's Europe wide stock of disk drive heads.😮

It's apparently in a fairly local graveyard, but I have never been aware of it!
From this page on The Times website, via archive.today he sounds like he was a very decent person!

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Hi Ben.
Just stumbled across your 'find the hiker' story, that was fantastic!
(I've also, sadly, helped a few people out locating where they'd taken photographs in the past, but nowhere as difficult as that, with so little to go on!)
Are we certain that Trump is 'talking' to the Iranians and not Simon Brodkin???

Excellent, I may get up early to witness it!
(I won't get up early... 😂 )
As an aside I did some Y2K remediation way back then, customer wanted to know if it would be 2038 compliant...
Told them that if they were still using the same server then and I was still alive I'd take a look at it.
The company no longer exists (Nothing to do with whatever I did there...)
I'm just trying to edit some photos!!!
Stanley the cat has other ideas.
After this he proceeded to try and sit on my shoulder.
Now the laptop's covered in hair, my t-shirt is covered in hair and the edit I was making is completely trashed!

Oh dear!
Not even sworn in as a councillor after Thursday's elections, and one Reform councillor has been suspended from the party... Or not, depending on which Reform person you talk to.
You'd think people would learn, but no.
It's like Schrödinger's suspension.

Just dropped 2 people off at a hospital in Birmingham (UK) and nipped to a supermarket to get a meal deal to eat while I'm waiting for them...
After I'd paid for them had to actually scan the receipt at a machine to open some barriers to get out of the store :(
What a time to be alive.
