Cordoba (first day)

Taking Rosita to see the Christmas lights in Arrecife last night.

Early morning jog. :)

Happy Halloween!

Whoever violently kicked our front door twice during the climactic moments of the first episode of Eerie Hall on Netflix owes me a new pair of underwear! P.s There was no one there when we checked …

More live music tonight … :)

Catching some live music in the sunshine last night for En Vivo Arrecife (Karmento).

Flowering cactus on a full moon.

Last vinyl haul. Yes, happily stuck in the 80s when all we had to worry about was Thatcher and nuclear war. ;)

Spotted on my jog today. :)

As good as day as any to alphabetise our vinyl. With a martini, obviously. @stuartalbery.bsky.social

Rosita in training at the dog park!

Post bath zoomies!

Happy little girl.

Back on the coastal path ...

Rosita’s Bath Day!

She’s out on the town tonight!

Drinking a Martini and listening to the vinyl LP of Dionne Warwick's Valley of the Dolls feels incredibly glamorous (despite wearing shorts and flip-flops). www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkDE...

Last night's Flamenco Festival in Arrecife.

I know we're all getting older, but surely the pop group Steps should now be called Ramps?

We accidentally ended up with 8 cats. We take it in turns to check the dirt tray after each cat has been in and nickname this duty Russian Poolette. If we're lucky, it's just a wee ...

Today, I was photographing this little fella.

Rosita through the flowers!

Two of our black cats relaxing on the patio: Bela (Lugosi) and his uncle Archibald.

I've been taking photos of the dogs and cats at a shelter here in Lanzarote for the past seven years. They feature on their website to aid adoptions, their annual calendar etc. Here are four of my latest cat portraits. Check out my other profile and SARA's lifesaving work: bsky.app/profile/sara...

As they say, forewarned is prearmed … medium.com/@aletheisthe...

Please, no garlic or crucifixes!

Trying to photograph flying birds. Sure is tricky!

I think I've heard the BP advert on Spotify about how they are prioritising shareholders' profits over green initiatives about 2,300 times today (and counting). I'm genuinely surprised they are so pleased with themselves. #BlatantPricks www.bbc.com/news/busines...

Rosita wanting to square off against a dog ten times her size!

Local free-living cat.

Fannying about with my new camera.

Drawing of me as a toddler by Polish artist Robert Lenkiewicz. Who is probably best known now as the man who faked his own death and kept the embalmed body of a ‘tramp’ in a drawer in his studio for 18 years. www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/history...

I would certainly think twice about travelling to the United States and I’m sure I’m not alone. The travel and tourism industry contributed $2.36 trillion to the U.S. economy in 2023. More self sabotage by Trump and his fellow loons. apple.news/AHY1_t88URZa...

Out and about with Rosita!

The next series of US Traitors looks on point.

What is with this obsession with woke? Ending slavery would have been deemed woke. Giving women the vote would have been deemed woke. Decriminalising homosexuality would have been deemed woke. This obsession with a 'war on woke' is nothing but a sustained attack on civil liberties by fascists.

Carnival, Arrecife 2025

It’s Carnvial tonight. Rosita is giving off Taffy vibes from John Waters’ Female Trouble!

I laugh every time I watch this.

Love it!

Finally got around to editing video from the El Hierro trip from cloud forest to giant lizard rescue. Just be thankful that it only allows 1 minute clips!

First Flashes post. Who else but Rosita? So glad to be shot of Instagram and Meta!

Finally, I deleted enough files so I could stop using Google Drive, and when asked why, I told them I couldn't support Fascist appeasers. They are not getting any more money from me. Moved all my files to Filen (Lifetime 200GB for 26 Euro). Actively looking to deGooglefy as much as I can ...

Love these guys. Our real life Bert & Ernie.

Guess Google is another company to actively avoid. Made a start today by downloading Ecosia search engine (an organisation actively striving to do good rather than cave to evil to protect $$$). Someone needs to do a list for more ethical choices … www.newsweek.com/google-remov....
