Overtaped , box scribbled on ... I'd be surprised if it sells at all ...

One assumes Auntie Beeb did the right thing regarding artists , writers etc , or did they conveniently bypass all that by using different artists and arrangements to produce pastiches ...

Just started on the long awaited new adventures of Raylan Givens in "Justified : City Primeval" and well worth the wait it was too ... And the soundtrack has some very nice unexpected treats running through it ... https://www.tune-list.com/justified-city-primeval-soundtrack-music/#music_episode1

I'm sticking the whole affair in the same box with the Jubilee NS float ... and burying it in the far corner of the garden hopefully never to be seen again. One word sums it all up for me ... Embarrassing.

It's neither vitriol or hate , it's a series of replies to a question , most of which were exactly as the OP admits he was expecting , i.e. negative ... If you already know the answer to a question why bother asking it in the first place. What with this , the cruise thread and the Proms debacle dominating the forum lately I can fully understand the mass exodus to FB that has occurred and continues ...

Just pleased to see the review clearly state that it was about a scene that flourished from the late 60's to the early 80's ..................... that means it was bugger all to do with the scene that I know starting in '81 at the Wirrina , through Stafford and the 100 Club on to today ...

Let's hope they don't gatecrash this evenings shindig and get slung out for sprinkling orange coloured talc everywhere ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66207576

More likely just too lazy to do a little five minute research before calling foul.

I don't think it was ever booted as such , there's the Stardust reissue and the 'Vintage Soul' E.P. but that's it as far as I'm aware , no counterfeit lookalike.

And fire if required ...

You should have turned the iron right up to the highest setting and finished it off ...

A very colourful macro week so far ... A hungry no-more spider. Ladybird on the way. Scissor Bees in the Poppies . A voracious little spider-hunting wasp who's taken up residence in the top of an old calor-gas lamp in the summerhouse , as I sit doing my solar imaging she's in and out every ten minutes or so with paralysed spiders for her broods larder , I've grown quite fond of her ... The "original" Velcro. An unidentified insect pupa hanging underneath a Hazel leaf. And as I wandering about the other evening I shot this single frame with the same Laowa 100mm F2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens that I used on the shots above , a remarkably sharp piece of glass from 80mm to 384,000km ...

If it hasn't got the raised , mirrored MSI Co stamp it's a wrong'un.

It's the beak that is all wrong to be a chaffinch ,which has a much stronger triangular beak as finches do , the Goldcrest has a finer pointier beak for picking insects , the chaffinch's shoulder markings are very similar but the upper bar is usually more pronounced ... And the Hornet is most definitely a hornet not a wasp , when I come across a dead one I'll do you a side by side comparison photo , they are less forgiving than the Scissor Bees so I don't fancy pushing the camera to within 80mm as I did yesterday ...

Another new arrival here today , a cloud , for want of a better word , of Small Scissor Bees decided to take up residence in the old Oak doorframe to my back porch. Delightful little folk they are too , disappearing into all the old nail and pin holes in the weathered frame ... not the easiest things to photograph as you can probably gather from the millimetre scale in one of the photos ... ! And at the top of the garden the young Goldcrests were out in force again as I was solar imaging , so managed to catch some frames of them as well , along with one frame of my favourite jumping spider who came out of hiding too.

Been meaning to test the video side of the EOS 90D for a while and this was a great opportunity. Shot in FHD only as I need to get a faster SD card for the 4K recording , got another opportunity next week so I'll try again then. Summer Solstice ISS Solar Transit 21st June 2023. Canon EOS 90D + Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary @ 600mm + Baader ND 5.0 Film. Slowed it down to 0.25x ... and made a looped .gif in PIPP. https://astrob.in/jb70ed/0/ And all the transit frames combined.
