We knew the day after the hill climb would be a write-off for me, so planned for that. Instead it’s screwed me for near enough three days. NO REGRETS! Today we drove to the beach at Seilebost. The autumn high tides are receding and more sand is becoming visible. Happy days. ♥️ #WesternIsles #IsleOfHarris #Seilebost #Photography #Photo

Five years later, I still think about Nana several times each day, especially on her birthday, and today - the anniversary of her death. She hit the big 100 then cashed in her chips before the sh*t hit the fan. As daft as a fox, bless her. ♥️

Today I achieved something I didn’t think I would ever again have the physical capability to do. After a LOT of planning and patience, I managed to climb Ceapabhal, which is 1200 feet. It rewarded us with STUNNING scenery. And sore knees. 😀♥️👏🏻

It's been a tricky day here on the #IsleofWight as we had torrential rain overnight and no serious weather warning until it was too late. These photos were taken by my friend Arron in his way to work. They show the bus station, railway line and hovercraft terminal all submerged in floodwater. I don't think we'll have any trains running for a while!! This is 10 mins walk from home. Fortunately we stayed dry. Our kitchen did get flooded a couple of years back.

Lin and I had a wonderful day today, walking the full length of Scarista beach, then walking up into the sand flats and back along the dunes. It’s all utterly stunning. ♥️

JOY! After EIGHT MONTHS, the restructure of this section of my record collection has finally been completed! The next stage is to work through the EPs, 12”, and 7” singles. Then, finally, it’s on to the two Kallax overflow units. Finished by April ‘24! 😀

The #autumn colours are later this year, but the view from the kitchen window is still great. I’m looking forward to watching this progress over the next few weeks.

I’m having a wander through my photos, reliving pleasant memories of some of my Monorail record hauls. Ah - those heady days of carefree record buying. ♥️ Does anybody else take photos of their hauls, (I said ‘hauls’) or is it just me!?

Eight months later, and with a few hundred records having moved on, you’d think this restructure would be done by now. Far from it. It’s going to take until the end of the year and possibly another couple of months beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪

We had quite a #lightning show to the east of the #IsleofWight last night.
My husband found it virtually impossible to photograph as most of the lightning was shrouded in the clouds. Lots of flashes but few forks to capture.

This is looking across the #Solent to #Portsmouth #photography

On a bit of a downer today, so lifting the spirits by #NowSpinning ‘Pink Floyds’ ‘The Wall’. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪
Anyway, the three consecutive tracks of ‘Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)’, ‘Mother’ and ‘Goodbye Blue Sky’ are particular favourites.

Sometimes I just want the hits.
#NowSpinning ‘Abba Greatest Hits Vol.2’, released in 1979. And I hope loud enough to piss off the abject twat across the road. So many fabulous songs … and ‘Rock Me’. I have such fond memories of this LP playing on my dad’s stereogram when I was a boy. ♥️
