Looking down to a wooden floor. The floor has numerous thin metal strips attached to an array of angles. I presume that these are slider strips to protect the wood from damage when heavy items are moved around for the weekly markets held at this venue. At the top of the image are reflections of sunlit walls and doors. At the bottom of the image, a rectangular panel of plywood has yellow/black hazard tape applied to it in an X formation.

Looking down to a floor where stained hardwood meets decking boards. At the centre of the image, a slightly-raised rectangular panel of plywood has been screwed down and two pieces of yellow/black hazard tape have been applied diagonally from corner to corner, forming an X. The floor also features a thin metal strip attached to it at a 55˚ angle and, on the left, residue from old stickers and/or tape. Green Park Station, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Two strings of bright red, decorative paper lanterns are strung across a street, presumably to celebrate the Chinese new year. The lines are anchored to the first-storey window ledge of a mid-terrace townhouse. The building is built on a slope, opens directly to a footpath and faces an iron railing. The rendered facade is a magnolia colour and the doors and window frames have been painted laurel green, and the windows (one per floor) reduce in size and complexity as they rise up the building (20 panes, 12 panes, 6 panes).

A dark asphalt pavement features a directional arrow sign in white thermoplastic paint. The symbol is worn and the top of the arrow seems to have been cut off at a 30˚ angle. The tips of two black shoes can be seen at the bottom of the image. Vastern Road, Reading, Berkshire, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Very cool!

Six short, colourful stools in a row. The seats are covered in imitation leather, each in its own flat colour. In sequence, they are yellow, red, purple, blue, red, and purple. All are bolted to a grey tiled floor, and there is a long white bench to the left, and booth-style seating on the right. The yellow stool, closest to the lens, has cracks in its covering.

Close-up view of the façade of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome, showing repeating rows of large, evenly spaced arches carved into pale stone. The geometric pattern of arches creates strong lines and shadows, emphasizing the building’s monumental, symmetrical design.

A Georgian townhouse in a terrace on a pedestrian street. The three storey building (plus attic and basement) dates from 1770. The ground floor is painted white up to a platband, above which is exposed Bath oolitic limestone. The first floor has an unusual balcony featuring a swept canopy with trellised supports.

Mounted on a brick wall and under an arch is wooden noticeboard. This panel is made from eight pieces of wood joined side by side at a 60˚ angle and then framed. The board has five rows of small L-shaped hooks and from the top three lines, metal numerals hang from them. The top line reads 15 and 447. 388 is on the second line. And the third line, which is below a long brass divider, has 443 and 2. Hymn numbers for a past or upcoming service or ceremony. Grundtvigs Kirke⁩, ⁨Copenhagen, ⁨Denmark⁩.

A large iron support, underpinning railway tracks, has been painted a warm shade of yellow. A layer of paint in a lighter tone has been applied to cover some graffiti tags. On top of this is a more recent piece of street art in blue paint. The word "boo" in all-caps with an exclamation mark, and a simple ghost character in outline with large, long eyes and a small mouth. Finally, there is a broken letter U. Or maybe it's a smiley face. Or maybe it's a monogram for I and J. I don't know. Vastern Road, Reading, Berkshire, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A dark, blocky office building on the left. A very blue sky on the right. There's a grid over the image and there's a series of white dots, slashes and loops, like some strange symbol-based language. The plate glass windows of a modern high-rise office building (One Station Hill) reflects its neighbour (Thames Tower) and a mostly-clear noon sky. Visible inside the structure are strip lights, spherical lampshades and circular LED chandeliers (seemingly de rigueur for any office or retail space these days).

An urban landscape with a park and bare trees. A thick arched sign stands on thin poles over a footpath leading to a two-storey building on the left. The word LIDO is spelled out in semi-spherical dots (presumably semi-exposed lightbulbs, but they were not illuminated). The entrance to Thames Lido, Kings Meadow Road, Reading, Berkshire, UK.

This is wonderful!

Very kind, AnnaLois. It is indeed a nice walk, particularly when the ground is covered in the white flowers of the wild garlic that grows in abundance there.

Stone steps with black railings lead downhill through a wooded area with tall, thin trees and lots of greenery. Barely visible through the leaves and branches is the city of Bath. Beechen Cliff, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Not a sitcom, but a sketch show: "Sid Snot" was a character in the Kenny Everett Video Show from the first series (1978) onward.

Looking up at an office building with light grey cladding panels, focusing on its unusual semi-circular windows. The two-pane windows have been built into either side of the an obtuse-angled corner and the window shapes seem to become more wing-shaped as they ascend six storeys. Apex Plaza, Forbury Road, Reading, Berkshire, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

The side of an office building with light grey cladding panels. The rectangular panels are arranged in a grid, with some doubling in size. A single circular panel is inset within another, above a large square sign featuring a simple logo with the letter A and the word APEX. On the right, there are two-pane, semi-circular windows set into either side of the an obtuse-angled corner. When built, this building had brown stone panels in the same formation.

They moved her when they were laying down the tracks for the Luas tram system. She's now around the corner, outside an old church that's soon to become a fancy food hall—presumably selling those cockles and mussels.

Ah, Molly at her old spot on College Green. Much more foot traffic there, compared to where they moved her to (Suffolk Street) ten years or so ago. I hope the cockle and mussel trade is still good for her!
