The No.1 highest grossing movie worldwide when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. A New Hope I’ll take that.

I accidentally added “Pigs In Blankets” to the Fruit & Veg section of my shopping list. My bad. But #AppleIntelligence thinking I should add it to the list ”Baby Care” section is disturbing! 🎄 🛒 🐖 👶 🤦

Two Canada 🇨🇦 Geese, a cormorant and a gull are playing “hide and seek” but I don’t think the gull knows the rules. 🪶 #BirdsUK #MillwallDock

Swan 🦢. Disappointed I had no snacks. 🚫🌽 🪶 #BirdsUK #Wapping #HermitageBasin

These floating #bbq / #fondue boat thingies in #CanaryWharf always appealed. Now in a #geodesic dome to keep the cold out. Must try.

“What was the first code editor you ever used?” For me it would have been the full screen “editor” on a PET 4032. It appeared majestically in a maths lesson in (I think) 1980 and I was utterly hooked. The ZX81 followed later when I got one at home.

A rock dove chillin’ by the sea in La Caleta in Tenerife. 🪶 #PigeonSky 🇪🇸

I think this is a snoozing Muscovy Duck. At the #Palmetum in #Tenerife 🇪🇸 a couple of moorhens too. 🪶 #Birds

Another shot of an inquisitive Laughing Dove, Tenerife Spain 🇪🇸 🪶 #PigeonSky

I’m in #Tenerife so I think these are Laughing Doves. Very cute. 🪶 #BirdsEspaña 🇪🇸

This poor #swan landed on the walkway next to the #MillwallDock and of course cannot take off or hop over the fence to get back in the water. The railings go as far in the other direction so it’s quite confused. At least me and other walkers gave it some room. Hope it finds its way out. 🪶 #UkBirds

I learned today that #BBUK is still a thing. Wow. Yea it was fascinating in the Netherlands in 1999 and the first series in UK a year later, but … well maybe not as shocking that broadcast TV is still a thing :-)

I found an old (maps circa 2016) Garmin #satnav in a box. Uses a USB-B connector. Fairly #retro #gps. I wonder if it still works. Does anyone use these things any more?

Colourful #pigeon in the water thingy in #JubileePark in #CanaryWharf. Maybe it thinks it’s a Heron and looking for fish. #PigeonSky 🪶 #BirdsUK

Some people say the #TouchBar on older #MacBookPro models was a lot of #balls, but I disagree- oh wait… 🤣 #Apple #Tech

#swan and #egyptian #geese in #Millwall Inner Dock in #CanaryWharf. Nice sunny morning. 🪶 🦢 🪿 #BirdsUK

#Greylag goose looking at me funny. #Millwall Inner Dock #CanaryWharf. 🪿 🪶 #BirdsUK

Some #swans. Bottom end of #Millwall Dock in #CanaryWharf. Also some gulls/terns. Hard to tell at this distance!👓 🪶 🦢 #BirdsUK

My #Tesla lease is up next week and I won’t be getting another. But what brands can I find that don’t have documented links to oppression and fascism? 1/

Puddle jumping on the #LimehouseCut. Odd how drainage can be done so badly on a #canal -side path! Still, a nice sunny day for a walk (hop) and plenty of #BirdsUK to see.

Only two cormorants and a heron at the #Sunday meeting. Maybe not everyone remembered the clocks went back. #DaylightSavings #BST -> #GMT 🪶 #BirdsUK #Thames #Shard

When you’ve had a few beers it’s hard to know if this is a urinal or a drinking fountain! #Cornhill #CityOfLondon #Relief #Drinking

This #squirrel was expecting nuts 🥜. I had none. The squirrel was disappointed. Sorry. #Shadwell #EastLondon

Looking a bit muddy down on the #Limehouse #Thames #Foreshore this morning. A soul hardier than I spotted along with many geese. #BirdsUK 🪶

I walked past this statue in #CanaryWharf almost every day for 15 years but only really looked today. “Draped Seated Woman,” a bronze #sculpture by artist Henry Moore, created between 1957 and 1958. Locally, apparently, it’s often referred to as “Old Flo”. Looks great :-)

I’m being lazy and going with the cormorant I can see from my sofa :-) #BirdsUK 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #SpreadWings #TheSkyReallyIsThatColour

So cool. #embroidery #WomensArt 😴

This Black Headed Gull (I think) is perhaps pondering if the exposed rocks in #BowCreek are real. 🪶 #BirdsUK

An old lifeboat repurposed as a canal boat month #HertfordUnionCanal in #HackneyWick #EastLondon. I wonder what it’s like inside with no real windows. ⚓️

Another great street #mural by abraham.o, spotted on White Post Lane by the bridge over the River Lee in #EastLondon. Always a joy to find something new when I walk up there. #StreetArt

Experimenting with #StreetPhotography. Away from the crowds, down by the river. #CanaryWharf #bw

Heron bracing against the breeze of #StormAmy * - or do Herons always look like that? 🤣 🪶 #BirdsUK #Wapping * wasn’t actually very windy in London

Unexpected guest visiting the #Egyptian#Geese family. #BirdsUK 🪶 #Limehouse

A real dearth of visible #birds in #BlackwoodForest but did spot this decorative moist feather 🪶 #BirdsUK

Warning ⚠️ This is not a signpost. Gotcha. #BlackwoodForest.

I’m in #Blackwood#Forest (UK) and brought my best #bird trousers and camera but so far have only seen 3 pigeons and 2 squirrels. Usually on these trips it’s like #bluetits and #greattits as far as the eye can see. Next time I’m going back to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿!

We haven’t had #crow visitors for a while - not since we stopped feeding them after they ruined our apple tree - but this one arrived today, looking philosophical. 🪶 #BirdsUK #Limehouse

My #omron #BloodPressure monitor has given me the magnificent score of 0 over E2. Is that hex? That’s 226 which is a bit high but compensated by 0 which is a bit low 🤣

Controversial: reading #KimStanleyRobinson Mars trilogy (Red, Green, Blue) is a bit like painting the #ForthRailBridge. Laborious, repetitive and so long that when you get to the end you have to go back to the beginning as you forget what happened (I’m on my 3rd pass!) #BookSky #books #scifi

Hurrah! More mini Egyptian Geese in #Limehouse Marina. 🇪🇬 🪿 🪶 #BirdsUK

Hey #duolingo sort out your #battery 🪫 consumption. 42% of my battery in just over an hour of use is terrible. It’s not like the app is doing anything cpu intensive!

Strange leafy figures at #JubileePark in #CanaryWharf London. Although I live about 1.5km away I haven’t worked there for over a year so find it fascinating to see the changes. Also I’m resuming learning #spanish so keep thinking “grassy ass” 🤣 #sculpture

I've updated my account to use my own domain (@adrmil.soapyfrog.com). Hopefully nothing got lost along the way!
