Blue tits checking out the bird box high above the back door. It’s two next to each other so I can maximise the rent. #birds #wildlife #photography

Coffee in the morning sun listening to the birds ☕️🌤️ #coffee #garden

Love this article from National Geographic celebrating #Chattanooga #NationalParkCity. Brilliant stuff! www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/artic...

It's been a month since I revived @dbspringboard.bsky.social - and I've really enjoyed it. Plenty of interviews in the bag, with some reviews coming up. Thanks to all for the support, signups, and buying the Bosses book! If you'd like to subscribe, you can here: darylbaxter.com/posts/welcom...

It was warm enough this evening to sit outside for a coffee and bite the head off a rabbit. Forecast looks good tomorrow and Wednesday here as well. ☕️ #easter

Decided to start with Grindsbrook Clough, and made a grand total of 3.6km in 2.5 hours. Every man , woman and their dog passed me on the way up. But the view at the top was spectacular. #hiking

Just had the first download of Hike Maker in Nepal. I hope they haven’t used the random route generator to plot a route on Everest 😬 #Nepal #Hike 🏔️🇳🇵

A lovely day for a spot of #roadrunning and #trailrunning 9 miles. No wind, dry, slightest of breezes, didn't almost get run over once!!

Lovely blue skies this morning. I hope people’s roofs and bins remained in situ overnight.

‘Tis a tad windy out there at the moment 💨

Just finished watching Marty Supreme. Really enjoyed it.

Photo from a walk to a pub tonight. Had to make it black and white to add some atmosphere 👻 #photography #church #blackandwhite

Only the old school tech people getting this 😊

DUCKLINGS!!!!!

I have this mug, and the more I look at it the more the typography and alignment hurts my eyes. #coffee #badtypography

Just got a parity error. That’s a bit odd.

Planning a walk this Easter? Why not make it a #SlowWays hike!? The Slow Ways network includes over 10,000 routes that stretch for neatly 150,000km. Thanks to people across Britain, this map shows the 2,382 routes that have been triple-checked and verified. Plan a walk here beta.slowways.org

The weather has been glorious today here, so I did the garden (and sowed some more seeds) and cut the grass. It’s all change over the weekend as we’ve got storm “Dave” forecast. Might have to stay in and have an Easter egg or two. Oh the hardship. #gardening #easter #stormdave

Some colourful pals whilst out gardening today. #ladybird #insect #wildlife #photography #gardening

Typical Easter weather I guess 😬🌨️ www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Rob McGinley Myers and Britta Greene just released an episode of their podcast, Phonograph, about “The Greatest Podcast Ad Campaign of All Time,” featuring me and some other folks I know. pod.link/1438655330/e... overcast.fm/+ABTumP7B7PY beforeithadatheme.libsyn.com/knob-feel-th...

Started hardening off the sweet peas today. #gardening #flowers #spring

Sat out in the garden for a while today to get some spring sunshine. Good to see more pot plants from last year growing ok again, including this chrysanthemum. #gardening #spring

Hike Maker now has a lifetime purchase option for those subscription haters 😊 The monthly and yearly plan prices were also reduced recently. Might be worth a revisit if you’re into #walking #fitness or just #exploring apps.apple.com/gb/app/hike-... #indiedev #walking #outdoors #maps #hike

This just says it all. The many useless articles, videos, podcasts, and they've all been played in clear sight.

Nice feature on Hike Maker on iphoneBlog.de thanks Alex 💚

Some new daffodils starting to flower in the borders now - Narcissus 'Bridal Crown'. Quite a contrast with the miniature tete-a-tete ones in the lawn #gardening #spring #flowers #daffodils #photography

Couple of minor tweaks submitted for review. That’s quite enough computering for today. #indiedev

I just had some toast with smashed avocado 🥑 and Marmite ⚠️ Kind of worked 🤔 #tangytuesday

An aim for this year was to put my second book from 2024 back in the spotlight. Below is how I'll be doing it:

New York’s public hospitals dropped Palantir. It can be done. It's time the NHS did the same. Join us 👇 https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=PalantirNHS&utm_medium=social_media

THE THREAD IS HERE! 🙌🏻 This week, I had a fantastic tour of Westminster from @maxsullivan.bsky.social, to see what the council is doing to make it safer for walking and wheeling. It was quite frankly, an extravaganza.  

We met at Grand Junction, right next to … 1/25
