Those roots in no. 1 - wonderful! I'd love to have the option of walking the dog (and camera) through woodland like yours, but no chance at the moment. And bluebells are forbidden at the moment, too (there's a little bit of woodland with bluebells nearby but it's fenced off and has fearsome 'keep out' signs).

Keep taking the pictures, it's not repetitive at all. Everyone's walk is different, everyone's photographic eyes are different, every time you do the same walk it's different. I've been walking the same fields with dog and camera for many years. Every time it seems there's nothing more to see, something pops up and it's time for more pictures. Light, weather, season, clouds, buds, flowers, leaves, shadows - they're changing all the time.

Alcohol floats on water, and so you should be "OK" if you go for some "acceptable exercise" after drinking all that lot and then fall into something "wet"
Nearly, but not quite. Alcohol is less dense than water but mixes with it rather than floating on top. So if you fall into something wet while doing "acceptable exercise", you might dissolve. Not a pretty sight...

You managed the juggling act admirably .

Nos. 1 and 4 stand out for me from the non-IR shots. IR seems to be an acquired taste that I haven't acquired yet, so I'll leave them to the aficionados.

I prefer it from a bottle over a can (and on tap over bottle - just to get the pecking order straight!) there does seem to be a difference in taste - anyone know what I mean, or is it just me :
I'm with you on that one, so it isn't just you. Anyone else like to join us?

It's amazing what you find outside the door during lockdown. Q + 01, 1/1600 at f5.6, ISO 250 - but who cares???

a Pint of Tanglefoot on draught is the closest thing to heaven I've experienced
You have good taste! Up there with draught Old Peculiar. I don't think Mrs L would let me have a cask in the house, though, so it's got to be bottles.

Might get something for the garden too, with the beer...

If it's bigger inside than outside, must it be compensated by something else in the universe being smaller inside than it seems from the outside? If so, it's stolen some of the inside of my garage!

Not sure that I understand the practice or real purpose of masking or if it is of any real benefit
I've heard that it's something to do with avoiding too much exposure...

Yes! And a good first attempt.
