Well, 2026 is looking up…

“Your wouldn’t throw me away, would you?”

Well, I definitely didn’t disgrace myself this afternoon….
And long haired individual, wearing blue denim and a blue shirt, holding a microphone in a very blue karaoke venue. The individual is clearly making a lot of noise and singing “passionately”.

The kids announced that they wanted to do some baking today (they’re both old enough to do this unsupervised, so Fred and I left them to it). This is the result…. I’ve told them I’ll be expecting the same Saturday…

I might have to admit that this city is fucked…
An image from the video game, Mini Motorways. A huge mess of roads and buildings fills the screen. The centre of the map is dominated t three roundabouts with a large number of red, blue and yellow lines - signifying cars. It is clear that there is a significant traffic jam blocking that section.

Someone seems to be a little disappointed that the box is empty…

Unless of course she’s simply just eaten the contents. I wouldn’t put it past her.
A black cat sits in a cardboard box. An empty box of cat food sits next to her. She is staring up with wide, pleading eyes.

Look! Mushrooms!
And woodland floor, scattered with off twigs and fallen leaves. About a dozen cylindrical, bumpy white mushrooms are rising from the earth. A few have been knocked over.

This train is now 1hr 38 minutes late.

What were these disruptive passengers doing? Performing an impromptu production of Hamlet?

Just started the latest #DoctorWho: Time War box set. Alex has run off with the TARDIS and is generally having a terrible time. And I’m not sure the universe appreciates these Time Lord Sontarans.

Still, at least the Doctor is also having a horrible time, so all is fair… kind of…

#BigFinish
The image is a cover for the Doctor Who audio drama titled "Pursuit." The Doctor is head to head with a younger man, Alex. The haunted, ghostly figure of a woman is in the centre of the image with the TARDIS, a house and a planet swirling in the foreground.

Just got back from a week away camping around the east coast. Gorgeous holiday.
The edge of a medieval church borders the picture. In the centre is the ruins of a much larger church window and other walls set against a cloudy sky. A tiger crouches in a very green body of water A fire burns in a fire pit at night An impressive, many turreted castle, lies on the other side of a clear body of water set against a clear blue sky.

#EdinburghPride was a delight, even if we dressed for blistering temperatures and instead found ourselves freezing in the rain.

Still, LOVELY vibe. Now checking out the bars for the first time.
Two happy queers. One has a laurel and flower weathers in their hair.

It is fair to say that Bertie and Delphi aren’t quite able to coexist. Generally the cats live upstairs and the dog has the run of the downstairs and will chase any cat that comes down.

But that really doesn’t stop Delphi from sneaking down every single evening to see what she can get away with.

#GracePetrie was amazing tonight (as usual) in her Edinburgh gig. Powerful and important and a perfect opportunity to meet some incredible people. #Solidarity

I think you’ll find that Pride was never about corporate sponsorship. Thinking it was is fundamentally to misunderstand that Pride is, and always will be, a protest. If the corporations withdraw, the protest will simply be all the more centre-stage.

Good morning and happy Beltane! It’s mild and clear out here and the birdsong is tremendous!
A light blue sky over a dark hill, the faint outline of houses near its base is evident. The orange and yellow glow of the rising sun frames the hill. There are a few light clouds in the sky.

Incidentally, if you’ve never had the pleasure, treat yourself to the Confessions of Dorian Gray #BigFinish series.

Some of the best drama you’ll ever encounter.

And Vlahos’ performance as Dorian is to die for.

Gone back to the first story for one of my favourite #DoctorWho companions (who travels with one of my absolute favourite companions). Realised I’ve never actually listened to the Harvest, and I do love Hex.

Really enjoying it, and didn’t realise it was a Cyberman story!
Cover for Doctor Who: The Harvest The image is all in black and white, the head of the 7th Doctor, wearing his hat, is in the centre looking ominous. A head of dark haired woman, the young Ace is to one side and a head of a young, short haired man on the other.

An GIF of a TARDIS console room (round glowing things on the wall, a white hexagonal console with a glowing column going up and down). On the side is a ridiculously dressed bearded man in black holding his hands up to the ceiling. The text reads, “manic laughter intensifies”

Our local grocer really is very good. Look at this bargain I picked up.

Just taking a little cocktail with my very best people in the hotel where I Know Where I’m Going was filmed.
A staircase with a dark banister leading up beneath a chandelier. A set of glass double doors to the right of the stairs. A bar with a lit cocktail bar, wicker chairs, and two delightfully pretty people in animated conversation with cocktail glasses on the table before them.
