Had a very productive bank holiday, clearing out years of old self-employment detritus. 20 years ago x24 2nd class stamps set me back £5.76. Today, the same would cost £21.84. Outrageous. And don’t get me started on bloody Easter eggs. #MoaningOldGit

Friday #NotRothko Seize the weekend me beauties❤️

Preamble to the pub 🍻 #Devon #SeaGlassFind

First ‘pootle’ on the water during our 1st false Spring last Friday. #Devon

#Devon #Venus #WaxingCrescentMoon

We suffer fools far too long, Wondering how it went so wrong. Another weak man seizes power, Sitting high atop an ivory tower. Luxuriant trapping his ensconce, That cowardly, evil, rapey-nonse. #TheWeakestSexain

Things that boil my piss (apart from the Piss Boiler 2000) #68473:- Your neighbours estate agent flying their drone over your garden and sharing the picture of your property/possessions/view into your windows and sharing it on the fucking internet. Twats.

Magnolia - harbinger of storms. We love our twisted & leggy bloomer, every year without fail its beautiful flowers herald a hoolie of biblical proportions so it lasts a day or two at best. Cursed beauty. 💨 🌸

Me on the school run - “ah man, this song came out when I was your age…we’d leave college on a Friday, there’d be a rumour of a party in a field or up the hills…after the pub we’d drive in convoy for ages, no phones, find the rave & party on…” They didn’t even stop scrolling. Same as posting here!

Feeling the effects of a late night trip up the M5 to see my eldest’s latest collaboration. An awesome 6 piece Japanese-Jazz fusion band, belting out classics on MAR10 Day. Check them out if you love the Bristol music scene. 🎷 🎶🔊🍄 #JapanischerTee www.instagram.com/japanischer....

Only fitting that my wife was harassed on the train by some drunk at 11 this morning. Let’s just call it ‘International “Men don’t be a Fucking Dickhead” Day’ and be done with it! And there’s me successfully making it all about men. Guess I’m fucking dickhead too? #InternationalWomensDay

Making it my mission to try & see @wearedelasoul.com again this year 🕊️❤️🎷🎶🎤🔊

If the case is anything to go by, this is already my favourite ever CD! 💿😍🦍

Nearly there! Quick border crossing for some much needed R&R. Aka rum & reggae me ansomes. 🥃❤️💛💚

Can’t help but to see this and instantly think it’s Crowborough thanks to that marvellous mischievous chap @mrnickharvey.bsky.social. He knew how to light up a social space. #HavingAGiraffe 🦒

February’s here, Snowdrops now then bluebells come, Soon the springtime sun. 🌱💚 #HorticulturalHaiku

This has given me flashbacks to staggering out of the Torridge Inn & crawling up Mill Street some time ago. (Worth it for one of the tastiest Thai meals in Devon) 🍻 🍛

Watching the light makes me feel hopeful. Tisha Mark ©2026, Watching the Light No. 2602, oil on gessobord, 5"x5" Original is available (ships when dry, approx 2-3 weeks): tishamark.com/product/watc... #art #painting #SciArt #TraditionalArt #bsnm #BlueSkyArt

The way #Dartmoor #Devon #winter

#Bluesky arrivals

The world erodes around us. We are losing the iconic Pier at Teignmouth to the seas. Neglect to sustain historical structures or provide societal benefits like local cycle networks is our undoing. Future generations won’t thank us for the cult of ai. @cllrdavidcox.bsky.social 📷 Credit Henry Flint

Elvis has left the building! #ThankYouVeryMuch 🕺

I might be in the eye of the storm, but it is a distant whisper compared to this amazing album. #NewDrop #DeLaSoul 🕊️😍🔊

Deserves to be quoted in full: Care for us! True, indeed! They ne'er cared for us yet: suffer us to famish, and their storehouses crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; #ShakespeareSunday

Having successfully avoided its charms for the past 4 decades, I’m making a concerted effort to bring the ‘Great British Gin Craze’ back, in a “It’s all gone to pot, let’s get right on it” glass raised/head swayed kind of way. “Which Madness to the heart conveys, And rolls it thro' the Veins.”

Always makes me smile to get a 90’s shout-out on 6 music whilst kitchen dancing… 💚🔊🪩🕺 #DevonDad

Watched that Ballerina/John Wick thing at the weekend & fell asleep half way through & (unbeknownst to me ‘cos streaming services auto play related content) woke up half way through John Wick. Got to the end & thought ‘what a lazy ripoff’, until it twigged I’d just watch/slept through two movies! 😴

A walk & a pint. Bliss. ❄️ 🍻 #Devon

Looks like someone dropped an A-Bomb towards Plymouth. Better shut the windows! 🌅😎 #Devon

Starting the year as I mean to go on 💩 #2026

Goodbye to one passage of time & hello to another. Not sure too many lessons learned along the way? But always love the beauty of the present. More peace ✌️ 🌅

Today’s ’Not Rothko’. #TheDaysAreGettingLonger

A Christmas miracle… …driving past the Henge with zero traffic on the 303 at sunrise! 🌅 📷 #WinterSolstice #Stonehenge

New addition has lowered the tone somewhat! 🍆 #LoadOfOldBaubles 🎄

Scrolling past what looks like a 70’s spinoff about a pair of racist ex-car salesmen turned politicians called ‘Fagash & Tramp’. Makes me want to vom. 🤮 Time for a timeline cleanse 🧼 Taken up a 🪜 trimming the 🌹 earlier this evening. 🌅 #Devon #GoldenHour

My 2025 Music Wrapped Results are in… 😎 • Bought a few new CDs which were pretty good, can’t remember what they were called. Mainly listened to old stuff. • Most listened genre = ‘melancholic drone music to submerge yourself in water to’. 🎶🔊🎁

Rest in power Jimmy Cliff ❤️💛💚 I was lucky enough to see him perform at the 50th Anniversary Bob Marley tribute tour in ‘95. Jimmy came on & practically tore the roof off Wembley Arena. Lucky he didn’t succeed as you’d have seen the cloud of ganja smoke from space! Another reggae icon passes on x

‘Life is supposed to be fun. It's not a job or occupation. We're here only once and we should have a bit of a laugh.’ A man who informed so much of my younger life. Happy birthday Big Yin.

Just been to the village Christmas Market & had roast chestnuts & mulled wine. 🌰 🍷 🎄 Right, done that, hurry up with Easter so I can enjoy spring thanks. 🌱

You’ll be quite safe heading out tonight @onlyindevon.co.uk, they’ve gritted the road! ❄️ #Devon #Dartmoor 📷 credit - Kerri Cuthbert (Driver was okay)

Had a superb evening seeing my eldest play sax in his band last night. #BristolHornstars 🎷 Feeling the aftermath of a late night trip home, trying to motivate for the day ahead. Have a cheesy 80’s style shot 📷 🧀 #MondayMusic

Think I’m just about ready to tune out of digital society. This place just about harbours a semblance of normality but as for the rest of it, awash with a growing tsunami of faux-history AI slop projected by knuckle-dragging bigots. Don’t get me started with MSM, FML, just oxygen to the flames.

Nothing hits like a greenhouse coffee break. ☕️ 🪴 And breathe… #MiddleAgedShoutOut

Autumn bimble 🍂🌈🐴 #Dartmoor

Very proud that my son got to experience the mastering studio I built before he returned for his 4th year degree in music production. Designed by acoustic engineer Thomas Jouanjean, the anechoic room is built on springs with 1.5m thick walls above a river in an old church. A challenge in every way.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover

What a time to be in IT support! #BlackMonday

The more I encounter AI the less inclined I feel to log onto social networks. The place is awash in a soup of artificial shite, the internet diluted to a husk of its former self. Can we create an AI-free space called ai0 or something? Where admins/mods can yeet that bollocks into the sun?? 🤖 🖕

Managed to steel a moment to myself whilst running the youngest around. Watched ‘One Battle After Another’ at the cinema. I really enjoyed Anderson’s take on the horrific timeline playing out across the planet. Helped by the cast & a film not afraid to explore the darker corners of comedy.
