An absolutely amazing sunset behind our wee bit of the world this evening. Another path cut through some trees backing on to the moss and another rock probably from around the ice age when the moss was created uncovered.

CAA drone operator ID renewed for another year.

Recording our planet’s rotation looking south tonight. Watch it to see if you can spot the geostationary satellites in the star trails.

When you’re out providing some training for a new client and find out he's also a petrolhead. What an absolutely amazing noise. The world needs more V8s 😀🏎️🎶

Still had some charge from an earlier job so managed to take some drone footage of my skating club’s last regular outdoor session of 2025.

It’s 1984 and I’m happy working as an organic chemist before getting into the tech business. What an absolute disaster shutting the refinery. Making us less self sufficient when we’re closer to a war than we have been for a long time and really need to produce our own fuel.

What a strange looking timelapse from last night. The stars are shining so bright that they look like they’re in front of the clouds at the start.

Microsoft Excel turns 40 today. This is what Excel 1.0 looked like (it was only released on Macs).

Timelapse of the gusts from day to night. Three hours in thirty seconds including a moonrise behind the clouds.

The Offensive Weapons Act is part of the problem. People have very few ways to legally protect themselves from danger so dogs have been bred to be weapons. Criminals are already switching from XL Bullys to Malinois for protection bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2019/17/…

Cloudy as usual but here’s what to look for if it does clear up. bbc.co.uk/weather/articl…

Sake! Boss man making Jackpot look obedient 😀🐾

Wee Jackpot showing incredible patience and hunting skills today. The mole escaped this time but Jackpot knows what he’s doing now so maybe next time 🐾

Boss in his own wee world.

The clearest night sky so far of winter 2025. It’s been so long since the last time I had the opportunity so here are three hours of star trails going around Polaris with a few clouds making an appearance.

When your dog does a poo in the fallen chestnut tree leaves at the bottom of the garden and you can’t find it now the dark nights have arrived. Make use of the thermal camera which spotted it even after around 10 minutes of cooling down 🐾💩😀

The world’s gone mad. I can’t prove who I am to PayPal or SumUp and they don’t seem to have any human beings working for them who I can talk to. AI should be taxed the same as human workers.

Same as we're seeing up the Braes and Falkirk Council don’t care. We’ve glamping pods built on land allocated for core paths to connect the villages which can now never happen without compulsory purchase orders.

I'd no idea this had been going on for so long but this article from 2004 quotes what has happened here now the land is split and sold for "hutting". The camera traps see little wildlife now with most being rabbits which haven't been seen here in decades. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme…
