It's there as plain as day at the top of the "Latest Additions" page ...

Good to know that as you're a music lover that your hearing's still OK , even if your eyesight's getting a bit dodgy ...

Greys are the only wildlife "dwindling" in my garden , on average over the last three years I've despatched between a hundred and twenty and a hundred and fifty per annum , none get wasted as I leave them in the secluded 'picnic area' for the Red Kites , Buzzards and Foxes to munch on. The joys of having Walnut and Hazel trees in the garden.

Lots of folk mistake queen wasps for hornets as they're considerably larger than the average wasp you see , when you see a real hornet it's unmistakeable , and the sound is the big giveaway , completely different to a wasp or any bumble-bee , very low pitched and menacing.

No Karl , the invasive Asian Hornet is actually a tad smaller than the native Vespa crabro ... And it's in no way becoming more prevalent , official figures here ... https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/asian-hornet-uk-sightings/asian-hornet-sightings-recorded-since-2016

Always had hornets here since as long as I can remember going back to my first encounter aged about four. Wonderful creatures in my opinion , I've got three nests in two different wooded areas in the garden , but they're no bother and their lofty flight lines keep them well away , although I do get the odd one or two join me in the summerhouse while I'm imaging as they like the wood for nest making , they're very impressive from three feet away ...

Sorry about that , just for you here's one I shot nine years ago as a test shot for the lunar eclipse that was occurring a couple of hours later , I don't think I've bettered this one despite numerous attempts , the 'seeing' was great that night ... When I get the right opportunity I intend doing a hi-resolution mosaic using the a different 'scope and monochrome camera but I've kinda got out of practice beggaring about in the dark ... You can do the clicky thing and get the bigger image .

Nothing overly special to me , just appears a tiny bit bigger that the eye can't distinguish from the last one , it's just the third full moon in a season with four full moons , more over-hyping by the media. It may still appear a bit 'redder' than usual when it first appears over the horizon and that's down to the jetstream dragging smoke and soot over from the wildfires in Canada. And I'm probably going to be clouded out but I might have a chance of it rising , if I'm not asleep by then ...

A lot of the acetates are uncredited , so names have been attributed to them , rather than being cover-ups per se.

Forget worrying about fashion statements , most important is finding shoes that are above all comfortable right from the get-go , no point in posing in shoes that look good but after ten minutes on the floor cripple you ...

Not for these feet.

Here , tonight ...

More like subtly different mixes than versions to be honest Mal , C-143 and C-152. One's a tad 'brighter' (152).

Jean Wells is an alternative take to the two released versions.

I have but two hands Peter , and when I'm in the vicinity of food they are fully employed grasping a knife and fork not faffing about with cameras ...

Quick snap of the rising Moon while waiting for my supper , EOS 90D + Sigma 150-600 C. ...

I was going to add the 'Chuck Jackson' - I need You acetate to the list but I believe Kitch had it before Mark got his off e-bay. Proper no holds barred all-nighter aggro-soul at its best whoever got there first.

The robot must have had an ear to the keyhole of that recent 'UK Only' thread featuring a multitude of similar soulless pop stuff .

I take it you just read the words then Mike and didn't listen to the "songs". I suppose its only redeeming feature is that it at least proves without a shadow of a doubt that AI has a very , very long way to go ...

Having just , for some strange reason , subjected myself to the first three seconds of the monstrosities on that YT channel I have to ask why the owner/administrator of this fine site dedicated to soul music would give this shite time of day and post it up. To me it's nothing short of trolling and I'd expect better of the powers that be to be honest.

No guarantees but the aurora forecast is looking good again for tonight ... https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

Hesitations , Williams and Watson.

Screw him , life's too short to be dealing with that sort of malarkey ...

A thousandth of a second actually ... but that makes it a thousand times worse ...
