That’s a bit shite. Up here the rural fibre rollout sponsored by the Scottish gov goes to all the properties. We were up at this nature reserve in the back of beyond and even the houses there had fibre.

I catch the eye of a little girl in the supermarket who is simply loving the sound of the word 'always,' which she is saying over and over again. I smile. She gives me a huge grin and an even bigger 'Always'.

Woman in Tottenham: What is gluten-free bread made of?
Man: Dust. And hope.

Today's love from the Roman world. 40m beneath the surface, the amazing theatre in Herculaneum! Rarely open, a fabulous tho claustrophobic visit!

A baby being pushed in a pram fights to stay awake through the rocking movements of the wheels on the paving stones, which without question, will soon soothe him into sleep.

This biscuit is named after the French city, so the correct way to say it is...

“Strasbourg.”

"Bucky" or Buckfast Fortified Wine is the bevvy of choice for Scottish "NEDs." (Non Educated Delinquents.) Their uniform is a track suit and a bottle of "Buckies." A hapless wine conoisseur decided to give Buckfast a try. Hilarity ensued.

CUCKOO CUCKOO

Ouch. Thoughts and prayers.

I have researched both sides of my family. I find interest in how the history we read impacted my family. Highland clearances moving them off the isles. Industrial Revolution, moving out of hand loom weaving to coal mining. It brings history to life for me.

A silhouette of Terry Pratchett wearing his trademark hat is pictured against a stylised background of a lilac flower and leaves.

It's the glorious 25th of May. Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably priced love! And a hard boiled egg! #GNUTerryPratchett

Woman queuing at a coffee van: Oh look, that guy’s handing out leaflets about a cycling event. That’s very me (calls out) Hey, can I have one of those?
Man handing out leaflets: Oh sure! (hands her one) See you there!
Woman: (Reading the leaflet) Ah.
Her friend: What?
Woman: It’s a psychic event.

Woman in Tottenham: Do you remember those mood rings?
Man: Oh yeah. Did you have one?
Woman: Yeah but it was always stuck on angry.
Silence.

Fact.

Here's that video of the bumble #bees 🐝🐝 on our comfrey. Sorry it's a bit zoomy-roundy - hope you don't get seasick 😆

With an air of sadness, a man outside a pub contemplates the particular, crumpled, zig-zag shape of a pre-made, hand-rolled cigarette that he has just removed from his pocket.

Holy shit we woke up alive

A woman locks her bike by a pet shop in Hackney and a huge sticker in the window makes it look like she is watched by a giant angry kitten.

A raindrop landing on my phone screen makes bold a kiss I am writing in a message, like a mini Escher drawing.

Woman on the phone: I have moments where I think 'Who the hell are you people?' Then I remember, they're my family.

Some fairy lights strung along a wooden pergola with lots of foliage and an owl!

Mrs P took a photo of the new pergola lights and in doing so it looks like she accidentally took one of an owl (see top left corner). @wulfhelm.bsky.social #ShitBirdPhoto

Man in a pub: I've met a great new colleague at work.
His friend: Is he cooler than me?
Long pause.
Man: No.

Oh the news is just relentlessly hard, isn't it? I know in most ways it doesn't help anything, but just in case it makes you feel a tiny bit better, I will continue to post my little observations of everyday life x

me: excited for my trip to DC

also me: is that Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body???

On the train, a dog watches his owner eat a pastry. He uses his absolute best - I’m so cute, and so incredibly sad that I haven’t got a pastry to eat - face. She finishes the pastry. He does his best - I’m devastated but I still adore you - face. And settles down on her knee.
