For those that wanted it with the airplane sound. 🎧

While I was playing around videoing airplanes flying under the aurora last night, I had my other camera taking stills. Here's 1661 stills connected covering 55 actual minutes. The bright, fast moving streaks are the airplanes. I sped this up faster than normal because we all have swiping to do.

This is the Lego future we were promised.

On this day in 1968, Neil Young released his debut album. The start of a journey that would give us fuzz, folk, feedback, and feelings in equal measure. A voice like no other, a guitar tone from another planet.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

Our boy is 8 now, loves drawing fish & birds though his AuDHD means he’s easily distracted and seldom finishes stuff, meaning reams of paper covered in unfinished bird compendia/ocean habitats. Which is lush, BUT I thought a drawing app might help him focus a bit. 20 mins later: GANNET ❤️

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of CHINATOWN boxd.it/bESs39 Ingenious & perfectly constructed detective noir. Jake Gittes is one of cinema's great characters & Nicholson slays in iconic role.

32 years ago today: The Norwich defence breathes a sigh of relief as they clear the ball to safety. Until @IanWright0 does this. The look on their faces as it floats back, over their heads, into the net. Sometimes there’s just nothing you can do.
