A day out yesterday thanks to a cancellation, and as I don't do walk-ins I took off to the hills in search of orchids and other flora, this is the Yellow Bee Orchid, Ophrys lutea, but a very pale form, probably a hybrid with Ophrys fusca. This is how they usually look...

My Friday flip...

I always take secateurs with me Baz as they are wise plants, they grow under the inedible and spikey ground cover of oak that the goats and sheep leave alone, I cover them back up afterwards.

Probably my favourite photo of last week, the elusive Milky Orchid, Orchis lactea, one of only two I've seen this spring.

The quite scarce, but incredibly plain Narcissus hispanicus recently found in abundance, surrounded by damp and mud which the dog enjoyed, but I didn't...

I knew it was Brussels from the picture, there's a Manneken Pis in the window of the shop, but couldn't name the street. I think you missed your vocation, you should have been a detective!

And here's me contemplating my first working day of the week...

If it ain't one thing it's another, sounds about right for pretty much every day...

Southfield's Drive, Stanground, had many a pint in there in the 70's before going to see the Posh

It sounds as if it was penned around 2010, like the embarrassing Judy Street's "Northern Soul".

Have a look on here Pete, there's a difference between the typeface on the reissue, the original is bolder. https://www.45cat.com/record/nc645807us

If at first you don't succeed, get some other sucker to do it for you

Pure bliss for a Friday...

you might hear the other side of this tomorrow night at the 100 Club....

Me too Martyn, have a great weekend if your trip to the city is still going ahead, this was played at the last one, mine's an issue...

According to Discogs: Joe Matthews We Got A Good Thing Going ‎(7", Single) Thelma Record Co. T-114 US 1966

Yes, quite easily for one in decent condition, though you might be lucky and get one for about £800

You must endeavour to get a grip of how this is done!!!

Methinks someone misplaced his full stop, probably meant $66.90

It's a fascinating place for sure, I was there in the middle of June and it was swelteringly hot, 112F and with the LA smog it was unpleasant, I fled to San Diego on The San Franciscan early the next morning, caught the train at Union station about 6am. Carefree times.

Warner Bros has changed a bit since I was there last in 1990. There's a clue in the top left corner, for those that aren't sure

The autumn colours in the background, and the scratches on the desk front make me think it's a mock-up, but having never been inside the Whitehouse what do I know?

It crossed my mind, people do have strange perceptions of colour, the Americans even spell it different

Happy on Sierra de Las Nieves yesterday, before he found the mountain streams and mud.

To be honest Matt, there's hardly a dud amongst them, I'd be happy to hear a complete set of them.
