Isle of Wight based picture seller. I run a small gallery selling my husband's landscape photography. Previously I worked as a project worker in a centre for the homeless and rootless and later in homeless prevention/tenancy support. I tend to post photos of the Isle of Wight , boost other photos that appeal to me, share what music I'm (and others I follow) are listening to. In my case it's usually rock! Give me nature, animals, music, vegan food, Coventry City FC and I'm happy!

Quite impressed with our holiday cottage for the week. Budget price as we have to take our "summer hols" in February πŸ˜…

The living room, a couple of grey sofas a TV, framed pictures on the wall. A wooden ceiling and tiled floor.
A sun room with sofas, a sea view and a dining table and chairs.

sharongascoigne,

@Nick Have you listened to the new Kula Shaker album yet? I think it was released yesterday as they were signing copies at my "local" record shop in Southampton.

The incessant rain of the last week has kept us indoors but today we managed to head out for a walk through the cemetery once more. I think it would be fair to say that the squirrels and pigeons and crows have missed us. We had a scurrying and flapping posse accompany us and launch themselves ahead of us to wait for the entire walking route.

sharongascoigne,

@neonbubble The Pied Piper of Portsmouth!

They love you, or rather the treats that you bring.

Remember any genre just join in

sharongascoigne,

@Long_live_rock_n_roll It would be one of my favourite songs by the Waterboys. This track always takes me on a wonderful journey.

Another work day done and now for : 'Bryter Layter' by Nick Drake.

A soundscape I can become utterly lost in.

sharongascoigne,

@MathC Excellent choice.
I'm now doing the same :)

A shot taken quite a few years ago at #BembridgeWindmill for #MoonMonday

My husband took this using a telephoto lens, we were parked in a layby about a mile away from the windmill. It's rare that a long trek isn't required for this type of shot, but we were able to set up next to the van for this one!

Tonight's cooking tunes courtesy of Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex, released 2023. Inspired to play by @sharongascoigne raving about it!

sharongascoigne,

@Nick I haven't listened to it today, so I must address that now!
It might relax me after yet another trip to the dentist.

sharongascoigne,

@Nick It's a dry socket where the remnants of the tooth were extracted last Tuesday. It's been agony but I went back to the specialist dentist today after my usual one gave me antibiotics on Friday.
I've had some clove tasting gunk syringed into it which has taken the pain away for a day or two. If it still hurts I'll get another dose on Thursday.
My jaw has gone black and yellow today, I look like I've been in a scrap!

sharongascoigne,

@JohanDiederik Thank you. The specialist thinks that I'm over the worst of it. The remainder of the tooth was removed a week ago. I'm out of pain today, he's told me to go back for another dressing on Thursday if the pain returns.

sharongascoigne,

@JohanDiederik Thank you :)

that feeling when the person whose sloppiness and lack of attention to detail you are still dealing with nine months after they changed jobs announces proudly on facebook that they have achieved a qualification in nuclear safety

sharongascoigne,

@FourT4 Oh my word!!! 😱

Don't know where that came from - but woke up with the chorus of this song in my head this morning, so decided to play it whilst making breakfast.

'Belief' by The Mission

sharongascoigne,

@MathC I think this may be my favourite Mission song.

Tonight's cooking tunes courtesy of Richard Thompson - Rumour and Sigh, released 1991.

What an incredible record, essential Richard Thompson. Give yourself a treat and play this. @sharongascoigne I bet this would be immense on vinyl.

sharongascoigne,

@Nick I'm listening now :)

@Nick Stop it πŸ˜‚

Postie has just delivered some new

I'm banning myself from buying any more for at least a month.
I purchased this on the strength of one listen on Spotify. It's a superb record which totally captivated me.

sharongascoigne,

@Doony @urlyman Wow! Thank you for sharing that. I've not seen it before.
Everything about this album is spellbinding.

sharongascoigne,

@Nick You're such a bad influence Mr Fergsuon πŸ˜…

I feel like I'm being watched πŸ˜…

I ordered some red squirrel plush toys to have around the shop as we love the reds here on the Isle of Wight.

Our stock room is pretty much just a large under stairs cupboard so they've taken over somewhat! Think I'll squeeze them back in their box 🐿️

sharongascoigne,

@FourT4 I'm sure they have, hence why they're back in their box now πŸ˜‚
