A very happy Burns night to one and all. Toasted with a particularly fine and very peaty single malt.

The Shard on a sunny day, with added vapour trails.

A very happy St David's Day to one and all. I didn't have any leeks to hand, so I'll just have to toast the saint with this fine tipple. #StDavidsDay2024

So, was I... (a) at my local DIY store picking up building materials for a new bathroom, or... (b) visiting one of the world's most renowned modern art museums?

A very happy St Patrick's Day to one and all. A special thanks to our good friend Brid O'Farrell for the excellent peaty Irish whiskey. #StPatricksDay

Little Paws enjoying Ravel's Bolero, on #ClassicFM as it counts down the #top300.

I may have taken the concept of No Mow May a bit too far this year. It's probably time for some selective weeding. While I can still find my way in and out of the flower bed.

No Mow May is half way through in our garden. The pollinators are enjoying it, and Little Paws is taking the opportunity to indulge her inner tiger. #nomowmay #croydon

These shots rarely come out as vividly on a camera phone as they appear to the human eye, so it must have been an especially bright double rainbow we saw during a heavy shower last week.

Mr Nelson makes optimum use of the room's shrinking sun spot before it vanishes for 24 hours.

No Mow May is over. Now for the lovely job of digging last year's compost out of the bin, so this lot can go replace it.

Every other pub in England during the European championships: "Let's hang out a load of St George's flags." The Porter & Sorter in East Croydon: "Hold our beers and pass the red and white paint..."

To prove that the Shard is not the only tall building I see regularly on my commute.

I have been working all night so, technically, this is an after work pint.

Mr Nelson doesn't like it when I leave the house. My wife tells me he sits by the front door meowing loudly and tunlessly. Mr Nelson has worked out I need to put some kind of shoe on to go out. Mr Nelson has a plan...

A colourful visitor to our garden and, hopefully, a result of planting so many insect friendly plants.

Could Mr Nelson have found somewhere to be more in the way while I'm cooking? #CatsofTwittter
