I’m watching The Hundred.

John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett in the class sketch.

Some cricketers and/or ex-cricketers, arranged in height order, going from shortest to tallest.

I was up there a couple of weeks ago. The climb was surprisingly easy, helped in my case by being able to easily hear Super Furry Animals soundchecking down below.

Remains of a ruined castle on a hilltop. They partially obscure the wonderful views over the valley and hills beyond.

There’s one of these in the house. What is it, and should I be concerned?

Something that looks like a small dragonfly clinging to a grubby, off-white wall.

Went down to the harbour last night. The sunset was okay, I suppose, if you like that kind of thing.

A foreshore, some sea, low hills and and a vague orange smear low in the sky.

The sun still peeping through some trees. A tarmac path goes off into the distance.

Nearly gone...the sun hovers on the horizon, with the clouds above it and the sea below appearing orange.

Trees in the foreground frame the just-happened sunset.

A clump of these beauties caught my eye while I was out cycling last year and I had to stop to take a few photos.

If you're going to tell me this is not, in fact, chicory, I'll be sadder, but possibly wiser.

Any birders able to help ID these? I think they may be mandarin females or juveniles. Seen on Llangollen canal this week. #birds #wildlife #birdidentification

...they call them the Diamond Dogs...

A fox red labrador lying on a mat. She is looking towards the camera. There's a shit-load of foliage despite the photo being taken indoors.

Onnen has come over for the day. She seems happy enough.

A fox red labrador sitting on a rug, looking into camera and seeming to smile.

I've just discovered that tomorrow is International Synthesiser Day. Whoo-hoo!

Synthesiser Patel playing some lumionous green plastic.

Watching forever.

A mural of Ian Curtis (15 July 1956 – 18 May 1980) on a house in Macclesfield. Photograph taken by SJ Higton.

This is the first time I’ve noticed the headline on Eddie’s paper. Good advice.

A still from an episode of Bottom. Richie seems concerned with his knackers and Eddie is reading a paper.

Do you reckon this is a Silver Y?

A moth, in the shade, surrounded by green leaves. It looks like it’s camouflaged with various shades of brown. Maybe mushroom.

Mark Stevens@mark-stevens· May 8

Do you recognise the episode I’m watching? Dog food or pot noodles?

Looking for something else in my photos I found this, saved from a while back. Not my work, but it's superb and worth airing again.

A mock-up of the sleeve to the first Doors album, but with various incarnations of Doctor Who instead of the original musicians.

I don't know what you look like in real life, but I imagine this:

Mark Stevens@mark-stevens· May 8

From my walk earlier. I think this is Elderflower.

A half-globe of white flowers, with green leaves and grass.

Mark Stevens@mark-stevens· May 8

Just delivered. That's tonight's drinks sorted, then.

Two packages, each containing four boxes of cider.

Mark Stevens@mark-stevens· May 6

I think this is a genuine photo of the finish. He's not got any close company - not on the track, anyway!

Athlete Roger Bannister crossing the finish line to become the first sub-four minute miler. He is wearing running kit and sporting the number 41 on his chest. The trackside has several spectators and some people who may be race officials.

Found these in the fridge. They are a year and a year and a half out of date (left to right). If I mix them together, pinch my nose and gulp quickly, it’ll make a safe, tasty drink, right?

A can of Guinness 0.0 and a can of San Miguel piss/lager on a wooden worktop.

From today's early jog 4. The sun and mist did a decent job of concealing Mordor.

In the foreground, a low, castellated wall. Beyond is a flat sea, and indistinct horizon and a sun obscured by mist.

From today's early jog 3. These ladies seemed more interested in me than I'd expect. Might use it as the cover photo on my next LP, Atom Heart Moo.

Cows in a field. Most are black and/or white.

From today's early jog 2

A lane through some woods, leading to a shingle beach.

Post your warning sign

A sign which says 'warning do not read this sign'.

I see George North is calling time on his professional career. And carrying Folau was by no means his most remarkable feat. Nice one, George.

Rugby player George North, wearing the red of the British and Irish Lions, carries both the ball and Australian player Israel Folau, who is slung over his shoulder in a fireman's lift manner. An indistinct background is probably the crowd.

Had a couple of days away at the weekend. On my travels I passed this rather famous shed.

The end of a green shed (technically it's a garage). There are double doors, and the right-hand one has a window in it. This allows the inside to be seen.

Mark Stevens@mark-stevens· Apr 26

If you see this post something orange from your gallery

A cocktail of some kind and a pint of suspiciously cloudy IPA. They sit on a tabletop and the background suggests a bar or restaurant.

Picked up this vinyl on a recent visit to Brizzle. Does anyone know if that’s a genuine Steven Wilson autograph in the green area? If so, this LP may be worth more than I paid for it. If not, some git has defaced my latest purchase.

The cover of Steven Wilson’s LP ‘The Overview’. It is mainly dark, with a green part-circle at the bottom. Inside this is a squiggle which could be an autograph.

King Henry VII died on this day in 1509. It hasn't stopped him from making a decent cider, though.

A bottle of Henry VII cider, partially decanted into a glass. Both stand on a wooden surface.

I wanted to post this photo of a beautiful sunrise yesterday, but Bluesky wasn't working properly. It all seems to be okay now, though, so here's apf xxcz crrsssaaajjjb%%$)2
