I have had a productive month or so on the Do It Yourself front. I have, Installed a new AC filter; Installed some outside lights; Installed a new light switch; And yesterday repaired our washing machine. I probably took longer with those jobs than a professional, but for me there is just the satisfaction of getting a job done without making that call and scheduling a time for someone to come round.
This morning’s rainbow, and a shadow of me. 🌈
Two shots of yesterday evening’s rainbow 🌈
I forgot to post this rainbow from yesterday evening 🌈

Well, this I learnt (I prefer the full English to the shorthands, TIL, though they have their place in a quick text) today. Hawai’i’s coral reefs are protected from storm damage by an insurance policy.
Two views of this morning’s Easter double rainbow 🌈
Looking over a wall from Kihei in South Maui towards the West Maui Mountains as Kona storm crept in on Thursday of this last week. There was thunder,lightning and heavy rain.
A beautiful view this afternoon from the cliffs near to Ho’okipa Beach Park. The island of Moloka’i is in the distance.
⛈️ A storm approaches. The thunder is getting louder and closer.
Adolescence covered a difficult and concerning subject, and did it so well. Well worth your time…

All credit to the artist(s) 🎨
It has been a while, but The Bunker has undergone some minor updates. Or maybe it is some ”edits” to what was already there? Certainly not a full blown new mural.

James Rebanks, author of Pastoral Song : A Farmer’s Journey (do read it!), shared this photograph on BlueSky of a hedge being laid. I am guessing that it is on his farm in the Lake District in England? Rebanks’ photograph took me home, back to Britain, to a time and place that sits deeply in my heart. I’m seeing a clear winter’s day as in this picture. I’m seeing a hedge being laid, the first time that I have seen one, or at least noticed the practice of hedge laying.
I’ve just added to new page to my website, Rainbows.
Given that I post so many photos of rainbows on this site, I decided to collect them all together using Micro.blog’s Photo Collections feature. As of today there are 89 photographs of rainbows here. The page will update as I add more…as I’m sure that I will!
😮💨 I’m heading to bed tonight exhausted, but it is a good exhaustion. I was working all afternoon in the garden, made some good progress clearing overcrowding plants (hopefully the light of a new day will show that I did), and now just need to lie down. Good night 🌙
Evening rainbow 🌈
This morning’s rainbow 🌈

I watched season 3 of The White Lotus because I had seen the previous two seasons, but…
☕ It’s one of those nights when I’m going to bed looking forward to tomorrow morning’s coffee.
