    We’re starting off June with this shot of Spiers Wharf on the Forth & Clyde Canal. This section of the canal is on the northern side of Glasgow.

    I also used ChatGPT to do an oil painting-style re-imagining of the wharf area.

    My Fan Of… this week is another rainy day on the bikes with some strong winds added for good measure. We’d promised ourselves a quick 10-mile ride to blow away some cobwebs, so we decided to head to the Forth & Clyde Canal. The day we chose started out rainy & windy but was forecast to clear up by 0900. Susan looked out & said the forecast was wrong, & it was going to rain all day; she was right.

    We wanted to get out on the bikes, though & so got our wet weather gear and set out into 20mph winds & horizontal rain? & headed to the Canal.

    We were a wee bit drookit by the time we got there

    200th Episode — Fan Of… #200

    Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

    This week’s Fan Of… is my 200th episode of my Fan Of posts??. Thank you so much for all your support with comments & likes, & especially to those who join in regularly or infrequently. Two supporters worth a mention are Elke of Eklastic & Geriatri’x‘. A lot of their Fan Of… posts are fascinating & well worth a visit, as well as their posts for other challenges.

    I started the series in August 2019 whilst recuperating from a broken leg with R2D2, my Star Wars moon boot, right through to #199 which was Coffee by the Canal.

    Coffee by the Canal — Fan Of… #199

    Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

    This week’s Fan Of… is coffee by the canal (& a banana). It was a bit of a dreich day but Stormy & I decided to head to the canal anyway. Although not the best of conditions, the sun came out (kind of) occasionally to brighten the day. I was able to stop long enough to enjoy my coffee & a banana for a bit of energy for the return journey (mostly up hill).
