We’ve had a week of grey skies and light showers to torrential rain so far, but it’s still spectacular! Lucky to still have another week to come so we may just have more than an hour of sunlight in a day yet 😆 😎

Currently staying on the #IsleofSkye I’ve seen all of the weather in the last 36 hrs. This is a photograph of (a small part of) the view from the window, with the reflection from another window seen in the sky…. not altered by me. Liked the effect, not sure I have done it justice though 😊

Years ago my mum bought me the smallest, weediest maple tree sapling from a local supermarket. Mostly because she felt sorry for it. This year has been its best so far…. the leaves are just stunning. It’s right outside the lounge window and I’m finding myself gazing at it all the time 🧡

Another favourite live band. This song couldn’t be more pertinent at this time.

If you haven’t seen it already, search for ‘Superstition Sesame Street’ - one of my favourite videos, little kids grooving out to six minute, full band version 🤩
In fact, I’m going to post it on my feed now!

Love this.

Dose of good sense from the great Kurt Vonnegut. His enduring advice on living well, often rooted in his humanist perspective, is as relevant today as ever. #LittleBookofHumanism @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

English Roundabouts

They’re making the roundabouts great again
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile.

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

Brian Bilston

I was lucky enough to see the ‘David Bowie Is’ exhibition when it toured. Standing in front of his blue ‘Life on Mars’ suit it became very obvious that the room was terribly dusty…. 🥴

From the plans for a Major Tom movie to the Aladdin Sane mask and some wild ‘artworks’ sent by fans, this Bowie treasure trove is now open to the public – and it’s the freakiest show!

Apart from the fact my dad drove mobile cranes for Grayston Crane Hire in the 70s, I love everything about this photograph!
It’s got definite ‘The Bed Sitting Room’ vibes. 😍
Wonder who the lady was 🤔

Morning all.

Glasgow 1960s from @DJSuperLemon1 on twitter. Detail in alt text.

This amazing photo, along with the others I posted earlier, hangs in The Pyramid, Anderston.
Apparently, the originals were found in an old box. I was told there are more.
They are being digitised, and there may be a display on Doors Open Day.
Photographer unknown, sadly.

I love this 😍. It’s like a scene from the film ‘The Bed Sitting Room’ (a classic in my eyes).
Then, to top it off, a Graytson crane in the background… my dad worked for them at the time as a crane driver… nostalgia right there for me 😊.
Fantastic photograph!

First pic - Scout
Second pic - Sidney
Scout was much smaller than Sid, but they could have passed for siblings if they had been around at the same time.
Lost Scout around 10 years ago, Sid in June this year 💔
