The many faces of @markthomasinfo.bsky.social speaking a shed load of sense with a generous sprinkling of laughter at @happymondayscomedy.bsky.social this week. Always brilliant.

Back in the summer I was photographer for the @nicenspiky.bsky.social Croydon Comedy Festival. I was asked to take a photo of each comic but had less than a minute to do so. This is Mark Simmons - king of the one-liner. He has an upcoming tour - I recommend!

It was sooo good and informative. Possibly enjoyed the singalongs of hymns to show tunes a bit too much however.

Good ½ hr w/ MPs Ellie Reeves & Vicky Foxcroft who heard us talk of the challenges people living in poverty face & what Govt’s chipping away at that will make a difference. It won’t be overnight but it’s a start.

PRO TIP

Don't buy food for the food bank.

You give EXTRA food, you give EXCESS food.

Donate the money instead to the food bank. Unless they tell you otherwise, they can do more with that money than you can at Cosco.

Money is best, if you can.

At my choir concert on Friday I was wandering around with my camera (as per) and Izzy said 'Caro take my pic please' and within 10 seconds I had this image. She's easy to photograph and a natural beaut. Not often a fan of portrait work but this was candid and spontaneous.

Today's iPhone shot taken in my local cemetery. I love the silhouettes created by these flowers - they almost look like fireworks.

Look up! Change your perspective! You might be surprised.

Always brilliant at @happymondayscomedy.bsky.social - and quite an honour to be part of the audience for comedians testing out new material to see our reaction.

@rialina.com is always a joy to watch and brings much wordly wisdom amongst the laughs.

Have you seen Conclave?

My choir held an open mic night last night. Lighting is always rubbish but you have to work with what you’ve got, right?

The Foreign Office, London, 2018

Every year the Open House Festival happens in London. Places of architectural interest are open to the public. A bit Lowry-esque?
