Somnambulation. Just finished reading 'Lord of the Rings' and my mind's playing tricks I'm sure there is an Ent there watching looking out watching for Orcs...

I've been waiting for this. Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window. It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

Rorschach Challenge. A watery theme to whet your appetite - What do you see folks?

Swanambulation. I don't know what the bloody swans round here are on but that red eye looks a tad demonic for my liking...

Wordle 1,678 3/6 Three Club anyone? ⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Rorschach Challenge. Open up the old grey cell and tell me - what do you see tonight folks?

Yeah. Kick them out. And in the meantime, before they go, don't allow them to do *anything* vis-a-vis Greenland.

From #FundBritainsWaterways : “The only mention of #UKCanals in the @DefraGovUK Water White Paper is the GU Canal Transfer project…Canals play a much wider role in our national infrastructure: moving water, mitigating climate change & floods, generating hydropower, ...” www.gov.uk/government/p...

Early stroll. I am briefly defined by a car’s headlights. A red plastic spade leaning against a wall. A passenger on the bus is almost as big as his headphones. It is as though this morning has been found in a secret pocket. That still cat.

Somnambulation. Sliding past The World..., Valhalla looking every bit a battleship, in battleship grey, brooding moody (and that's just the cap'n) setting off to beat the blockade at top speed (3mph) - Bon Voyage cap'n...

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

Rorschach Challenge. I do like this one - what do you see in tonight's picture people?

Left: Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, talking about liberty and freedom in the US in the UK parliament Right: ICE agents attacking a dancing fox

Somnambulation. Bikes and canals go together it seems. Lock-wheeling - The practice of sending ones partner off on a bicycle to set the next lock so the boat can go straight in without having to use the lock moorings. Not sure you would get very far on this bike!

Rorschach Challenge. What do you see in today's photo folks?

Somnambulation. Photo from yesterday but could have been 50 or 60 years ago or more with mist rolling in from the... Mull on that I dare you... Hopefully moving on a bit today weather permitting...

“ when people accumulate mass wealth and power, they begin to believe the rules no longer apply to them, and their behavior often drifts toward domination, exploitation, cruelty, violence, and the outright most vile and abhor.”

Very pleased to see the Black Redstart at Horton's Nose Country park in Rhyl this morning for #BirdsSeenIn2026

Mark Carney said Canada would be prepared to defend itself—even against the USA—in response to Trump’s deranged threats to invade NATO allies. In just 12 months, Trump has turned America’s closest friendship into an adversary. The world’s *longest* undefended border is our border with Canada.

Are there any narrowboaters out here on b.sky.social?
