My favourite analog bookmark. Made for me by the Master Animator, daughter no. 1.

I changed the ink in my Ultem eyedropper pen to a lovely bright red Sailor ink. It’s a great combination of huge ink capacity and lovely broad King of Pen nib I transplanted into it

First impressions of my new Orea Z1 zero bypass coffee brewer were that coffee was richer and sweeter using the same beans.

It’s a much more deliberate process and maybe not ideal for rushing to work.

My now page updated.

Yours truly. Waiting for the family to get their delicious toasties on the day the Cheesy Toast Shack ran out of gluten-free bread. Sad times…

More Agfa Color 400 film.

Arthur’s Seat one Wednesday evning in May. Taken with a Pentax LX and AgfaColor 400

Rephotographing an old favourite.

A photo from a couple of weeks ago but trying a different processing.

Curiosity got the better of me an I just ordered a Lamy/Jetream M17 ball pen refill from Japan. Keen to try and thankfully I have only one Lamy ball pen.

I have to say Dept Q was fantastic and enhanced by recognising so many locations.

👍👍👍👍 from this household!

My Hardgraft iPhone case never quite fitted the 16 Pro. I didn’t particularly want to switch to their later case that should, but it probably makes sense.

The master animator is briefly home and exploring using Procreate on my iPad.

I have finished reading the quartet of Victorian crime novels set in Edinburgh written by Ambrose Parry. They have each been a great treat.

I’m enjoying the (not boring) Camera app on my iPhone. It’s a pity the lovely HDR images aren’t handled in most editing apps and sharing sites.

They just pick-up the initial darkened and muted image.

I don’t get Android in just the same way I find Windows inelegant. What are all these things? They tell me nothing and I can’t click on them to find out more. They just appear to be there to show they’re there!

In my experience, companies focused on social media branding and promotion rarely handle email queries well.

I think this may be my favourite gin. Hernö Old Tom from Sweden. Sadly I’ve not seen any available from a shop in Edinburgh for years now.

A momentous end of era… I’ve just deleted all folders from my iPhone Home Screen. That particular page of carefully curated folders had been hidden in the last few years since App Library came along.

Cycle Speedway in Edinburgh today.

Over on the big blog… My weekend recipe for heaven on a plate.

This involves a family favourite stretching back to when the offspring were wee creatures.
