Cycling, Science and the Political Economy, my personal contentions. Off-beat music soundtrack. Oxford, UK.
Homemade, sloe-elderberry-blackberry-plum and probably some other hedgerow fruits, wine. There's only one way this ends...
It's past watershed so here's David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) & Mick Robson in #Oxford Town Hall June 1972 as featured in Melody Maker full page ad. Photo: Mick Rock Hat-tip: @marcrileydj.bsky.social
Not headline grabbing extent of France & Spain but UK wildfires up significantly this year. (Cropped from @ourworldindata.org )
Tried to educate child on the merits of a waxed bicycle chain for reduced mechanical friction but it looks like they used the black crayon 🤷♂️
Time, I'm afraid @rozsmith.bsky.social for my regular rant. Verges on Headley Way razed to the ground removing guerilla wild flowers & grasses for no obvious access or safety gain. Meanwhile adjacent Cuckoo lane footpath and cycle way overgrown hindering passage.
Oxfordshire pavement parking ban & enforcement can't come soon enough @badlyparkedox.bsky.social (nr. Waitrose, Old High Street, Headington)
Still one of the best views in Oxfordshire. The West Wing John Radcliffe Hospital Headington.
My mum's no longer around but so pleased to have inherited her Denby Arabesque ceramics. I mean just look at this design classic of the era.
A little bit of Chelsea🌷arrives in Headington and for a good cause 👍
Nothing compared to the conservatory today... When we moved into house, we thought it might be a good place to grow stuff but now we have to move everything out to prevent plants from being dry roasted.

Once again, I think we have the best of our nextdoor neighbour's #rose bush.
Some say David Cameron was the worst British Prime Minister ever, his achievements an abjectly flawed austerity policy and the most ill-conceived referendum vote in electoral history... This begs to differ.
Rectory farm needs to improve its bike parking already... Sheffield Biltons please!
Sick of politics? Here's a video of a mother pheasant and her brood. #birds
My first introduction to guitar was a my dad handing me his battered old copy of this. So I could hammer out a clunky interpretation of "Apache".
By coincidence this appeared in my timeline right next to your post.
We're back with #BikesAtPollingStations for #vote 2026. Universal sufferage ✊
