I am a #blind person who enjoys travelling (ideally by #Green methods). My interests (in no particular order) include #history, #archaeology #IntangibleHeritage #language #reading #writing #photography (mine or yours, with #AltText) #SocialJustice and #GlutenFree. Iam attempting to visit all the United Kingdom Overseas Territories. I am, at heart, happiest when I'm on water. Please excuse the typos: several kinds of sight loss + dyslexia.

#PerthWA is my first stop on what is not a #RoundTheWorld trip or a #There-andBackAgain but a really big circle with doubling backs.
Most of the places I'm visiting are stops planned with a purpose of visiting, but I'm starting with places that are transport links, Perth being between London and my first place/thing of intent in Australia.

Arrived in #PerthWA yesterday, on the 16 hour slight from London. Stretched out legs in the Botanic Gardens, King's Park. Highlights were a magpie and a fuzzy pink ball bush.

Talking bout #WorldOceanDay reminded me of the best dish I ate in the Caymans, which was on a vegan restaurant - #Lionfish (yes, apparently vegans can eat this pretty but horrible species). Catching these nasty things (beautiful, but in the wrong place) can now be done as part of a vacation to the Caymans https://www.explorecayman.com/grand-cayman/things-to-do/scuba-diving/lionfish

Having moved away from cow's milk some years ago, I have settled on hazelnut milk as my favourite.
I buy the Alpro brand because it is (usually) the only brand. But earlier this year saw Lidl had an own brand.
It has slightly higher carb content, tastes more like normal than Alporo's Channel Islands mouth feel. It is also deeper in nut flavour - a little more bitter, too.
And, of course, it hasn't been back in our (UK) branch since. Do I need to find a larger Lidl?

Looking at the Hugo award nominations for this year... I've read none of the novels, novellas, novelettes, comics, or games.

I've read one of the short stories, one of the series, and seen one of the dramatic presentations (long); two of the dramatic presentation (short).

I've got three novels from the series nominations sitting on my bookshelf, and I've just started one of those.

Is this level of ignorance in the face of the shortlists typical? I feel inadequate.

@oCDo (and others who have driven a #motorhome on #aotearoa #nz : just tried a motorhome for a few days in the UK as we are considering it for our forthcoming holiday - only two real downsides here are very steep narrow twisting roads with a lot of cyclists and lack of big enough parking spaces in towns and villages - do these issues crop up much (we are thinking of doing a circular tour out of Christchurch).

Can anyone identify this caterpillar seen in the High Peak, Derbyshire (UK).
