Sunday is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, a day to stand with #LGBTQ2 family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues to denounce discrimination, and celebrate diversity across #Canada. #IDAHOTB #May17 #FreeToBeMe @fondemergence -
Its #FollowbackFriday - which seems a very apt time to announce I am unpacking at at a new instance, mastodon.world, where I am @Free2BMe.
Again I would like to thank vanlife.is and @axelrafn very much for being so supportive and friendly. Yet whilst I regret the impending closure of this site, I also know every season has an ending - forcing us not to stay put, but to go out and have of new adventures, find of fresh delights...
Now where did I put that kettle..? -

@eclectech - oh what fun! How well the hat fits. How opportune the artful posing of his extended foot was, just the right distance for the broom to fit in front of the other feet held back!
Happy Hallowe`en to everyone amongst us. And let those broomsticks fly..... -
@retroist - delighted that someone else who was there at the start still shines the torch in a cross-wise patterning.
That ad`s pretty neat too - I`m guessing American TV Guide ?
Actually I`m not sure I ought to be celebrating the American premiere at all - over here in England we had to wait for over a year to see that episode - unless we knew someone with a sky-box to pester, because they got it a bit earlier, on January 26, 1994.

So here I am, lighting my torch, metaphorically, and physically, for the thirty-second time, with a little reminder everyone that tonight in 1993, at 9 p.m. (but only in the USA) the first ever episode of The X Files was shown on television.
And hi to everyone "out there" who`s going to watch that episode, oddly just entitled "Pilot", all over again, tonight.
Its always worth doing, too......

Ruislip Station, just passing through.
This signal box has actually been a listed building since August 2000, so it is celebrating a quarter century this very month - however the station was built way earlier, in 1904, for the Harrow and Uxbridge Railway.
That was taken over by the Metropolitan Railway less than a year later, and their trains still stop there, along with the Piccadilly line.
Both terminate in Uxbridge.

Suddenly it is "that" season.
I go out looking completely normal - or normal for me. anyway - yet, on the way back, my fingers are become reddened in response to a host of wanton, beckoning berries. Stray pips, or not yet ripened red cells, throb annoyingly from the spaces they have discovered, and slid inside between my teeth. And also, because the best berries are always nearest to the sharpest thorns, my fingers, too, are tingling

- save the humming of the bees.
I only found out a few nights ago that moths like these too, as I walked down the path and they all fluttered away before me.
I knew that the globes grow and then reach a point where they become irresistible to flies, and then their casing start to grow blue hair/flowers. which sees the flies ousted and the bees and wasps flock in.
But I never knew of their mothly magnetism.....#garden #gardening #echinops #bees #pollen #BeeFriendly #ProEarth

To celebrate my two year anniversary here is one of my favourite photos from the last two months.
All my photos are taken on my phone, and I do not edit them, except, perhaps, on the odd occasion, for size. I do not use filters or make them brighter, darker, or more colourful.
And, mostly, I look for angles and lines, particularly on the diagonal.
All comments welcome.
That`s how you learn.#railway #station #train #District #TFL #London #ChiswickPark #travel #transport #transportation

Yesterday, 25th of March, 2025, was an entire month since "the alien" which had been lurking, unchallenged, within me was excised from my back.
Yet I still await, with much trepidation, the revealing of how much damage it caused during its residency - and what treatment I will have to undergo to keep it from growing back inside of me again.
I remain in limbo, knowing not whether to celebrate that I may now live longer - or to come to terms with the knowledge I will not. -
First picture, at last! Taken whilst dog walking, not so easy to take a photo under those conditions, the slightest spotting of another dog means that you have to lose hold on the picture so as to retain hold on your dog - then they find magical scents to follow, whilst your picture slips ever further from the frame. However challenges are also adventures, and they prove that nothing is ever really impossible, it just needs working out.

Sorry for my absence, stuff happens and sometimes the pit I find myself tumbled into takes a while to clamber out.
Here, at the closing of a particularly bad week, I find myself cheered by a Beaver Moon, which is somewhat obscure, but, magically, found itself of a way to peek out through a roughly triangular gap in the otherwise cloudy sky.
There are a few quirky angles of hard landscape, too, as usual for me.#BeaverMoon #Moon #Night #NightSky #Moonwatching #Skywatching #Weather

I thought the fediverse would be completely covered with this, but it looks like it is only me, about to sit down to watch the pilot, on September 10th, all over again....
Or is there anyone else "out there" with their DVDs ?
If there is, you may enjoy seeing this original promo card from 1995. Now this was P2, but it was the first one to advertise the cards. P1 only spoke of the comics.

When I looked at these, they reminded me of a musical instrument, especially the way that they fanned out like organ pipes, and it amused me to think of what sort of noise they would make if they were played.
I imagine it would be a cross between a harp (by plucking the "string" stalks) and maracas (by shaking the seed heads at the top).Gave me some fun, anyway, and that has been thin on the ground this week.

Sunrise over Salisbury.
With very steamy windows.
It was just too cold to stay in my tent last night and I decided to "de-camp" into the back of my car.Edited for size alone, as always

still wearing the jumper.
Today not such a good day.
I am worrying about the dog.
I follow him about when he is restless, and when he lies down and falls asleep every magazine I pick up to read seems to contain a dog or a horse coming to the end of their natural lives, and there have been more than a few stray tears run down my face, until I gave up reading.
Was Tennyson really right to say that it was better to have loved and lost?

In the too long time since I tapped my last message and sent it into the ethereal realm, things have changed. I have been diagnosed with a vitamin D disorder, and must take tablets and supplements for the rest of my time here on this planet. I also must change my diet to include red meat, eggs, fish. I object to the two former, valueing their lives far above mine own, but I did add a tin of sustainable tuna chunks to my larder yesterday...and may open it tonight

Saturday. Raining.
Yet when I awoke, early, I was thrilled that it was already light enough to see reasonably about me, though not quite yet enough to see to read a book, or to work on my journal.
However, today I shall fetch my self a book and station it on the soon to be made empty windowsill that is right beside my couch.
And it may not be too long before I can reach for it once my eyes have accustomed to the light from their night spent in the darkness. -
They found it, quite by accident, whilst digging, heard a light pop, hardly audible. They bent down and extracted it, gently, then wondered, idly, why someone had denied themselves their dinner, whatever was inside. Hard to tell without a label.
Inside the canister the crew sat, waiting, a murmur rising. They could see the alien world through the hole the monster made, and once it went away they could explore, at last

I return.
Mooning.
I like this one very much and hope you do too.
It was taken recent-ish too, on October 29th, just in case you wondered. -

Day 31 - clockThis is Pinner Parish Church in Middlesex, right at the top of the High Street. A very unusual view, but a trim from a longer original, focusing on just the clock.
