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.

Welcome to the end of the week. May it be slightly less awful than the rest of the week!

Finally got around to burning my 40+ y/o cassette collection with a cheapo-bobbins converter. A nice rich sound despite being played to the ends of earth & back, not to mention stored in crappy conditions. Fills my heart thinking of those who spent hours compiling them. #MagicMixtapeMates 📼🥰🎶🔊🏴‍☠️

In formally accepting a kind offer of tea & toast in bed, I fear the hidden impressment of the King’s Shilling befalls me. A future of uncertainty awaits my befuddled brain as to what I’ve got myself embroiled in. Toast crumbs in my chest hair betray my resolve as does the gurgle of tea in my belly.

Impromptu Monday night gig at @exeterphoenix.bsky.social to see @kaylapainter.bsky.social. Great to support #phonicfm again having help build the studios when it was born. 📡🔉 A top sunset en route to boot. #SouthDevon #MondayMusic

Back from a great weekend at Machina Bristronica.. ..next up - tomorrow I’m heading to Exeter for a special show. I don’t get down that way very often so it would be great to see you exeterphoenix.org.uk/events/kayla-painter/

Wishing everyone a peaceful, loving Friday with no hatred or division 💙… …except the 1%. Fuck those guys to hell.

It all started to go tits up since I got rid of my last ID card to be fair!

So I cleared a spot for the Anderson shelter & got some spare tins of soup from the big shop. Any ideas what time this armageddon kicks off so I can make sure the kettles boiled? 🫖 #ProperCuppaPrepper ☕️

Thought it’d be nice to invite my folks to join my eldest & I at the local jazz club last night, before he goes off to Uni again. All kicked off when a lady complained to my folks for talking through the songs & my old man thanked her for her input then told her to ‘get fucked’! Spat my beer I did.

Has it really been a year today since I woke up in my happy place? A trip of a lifetime searching for perfect surf & Guinness. Memories to nourish me in dark times. Oh County Clare, how I miss thy beauty 💚🇮🇪 📷 Spanish Point 🌊

My new Spirit Animal as I judge idiot arseclowns on the web. #AlienEarth 🐑 👁️

Ocado handed out 221 million plastic bags last year! 😱 Sign the petition and tell them to ditch single-use bags for good. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/oc...

The quantity of unsolicited shite I receive from my mother is always, without fail, highly indicative of the current bandwidth of mainstream propaganda that is being pumped out of the usual channels. So many frothers chomping at the bit right now. 🎨 Credit - Dave Coverly

Dartmoor in gentle slumber, Flaxen hair gorse & heather. Granite teeth lay asunder, Smile in fair & remorseful weather. #Devon

Saying night with this weeks #NotRothko 💙

Lovely company out on the water this morning. 💙🐬 #Devon

Moon rising over the Teign. 🌕 #SturgeonMoon (Phone trickery a given)

If you knew, like I often do, to take in a view for a moment or two. Would you take three moments or four if you knew it would last no more? #RamblingMan

Adult content… • Mortgage rates are going down. • It’s green bins this week. • Lag your outside tap before winter. • Sketchers shoes are quite comfy. • Take a coat just in case. #UtterFilth #StickYourRules

Arsehat neighbour lost his former title ‘Leaf-vac wanker’ having cut down the beautiful ancient Turkey Oak. His latest assault on nature comes in the form of an ultrasonic bird scarer to rid his corner of Little England from any sign of life. Every square inch paved over. ‘Jet-wash wanker’ it is.

A quick bolt down to my favourite Chapel for a 🌊 A day at the 10 year anniversary of the fantastic #TopicalPressure 🎶🔊🔊🍍🕺🪩 What’s not to love? 😍 #ifYouKnowYouKernow

The face I’m submitting to Bluesky for verification.

Every time I think about ditching the TV licence, they throw out a night of absolute bangers. #Blondie on #BBCFour reminding me of this absolutely iconic #AllQueens photo. ❤️

This series has been up there as one of the best. I shall dearly miss my ‘new’ favourite panel of contestants and desperately look forward to my ‘next new’ favourite bunch of clowns. #TaskmasterFinal @taskmaster.tv

I love this idea 🌱 💚 Just 6 Arks in Devon so far. wearetheark.org/map-of-arks/

Happy ‘Flying Ant Day’ to all who celebrate!

Ah, the glorious circle of life. (In that my own children get to share one of my hidden childhood traumas of the impending threat of a nuclear war, prompting me to vow and obviously fail, that I never wanted to bring children into such a cursed world.) ☮️

Look at this beautiful ‘sort’ (Cornish). The little prick-pig was very grateful for the water I left.
