Springtime fun
The skeeter and his beautiful girlfriend at a pub table in the golden hour. They are both wearing sunglasses A spread of Singaporean food. Tofu satay, cucumber, and laksa curry with accompaniments. A little snail on a canal boat in the twilight. A family photo with the skeeter, his girlfriend, her parents, and her sister (who is a dog). The weather is really beautiful and there is a blue sky and a great view of a valley behind them.

I did not miss the weather in England (not that Scotland is any better)
The street outside Aldgate station in London in very heavy rain. The photo is taken under a tree, (which is still very damp!) but further into the street rain can be seen lashing the road. Some blonde stone buildings are visible through the haze. The TFL roundel is visible on the right. The skeeter, very wet, in an elevator. He is smiling, and wearing a white T-shirt which is so wet that it's stuck to his skin.

Fourth time lucky. Might fuck around and paint my walls
Me, in my flat, with my keys! It has a grey carpeted floor, white walls, and exceptionally high ceilings.

What you need the morning after the sleeper really
A photo of the inside of Gordon Street coffee in Glasgow. The floor is tiled with hexagonal tiles, mostly white but with a "weave" pattern in red. A poster on top of a water/sugar station advertises coffee roasted onsite daily. Behind, the bar is visible with someone making coffee, and above that a partly obscured price list. There are Tunnocks products on the bar. A classic flat white, in a cup with saucer and a spoon on the side. It has a heart pattern, and sits atop a marble table.

On the bright side I am sleeping on a train tonight.
A view from the cabin door on the Caledonian Sleeper. There is a bunk bed on the left, with a little sink at the end. There is a big blue suitcase on the floor and a guitar in a grey padded bag next to it.

Now doing everyone's second least favourite pre-move-out step (cleaning the oven can wait til later)
A container of Polyfilla, used for filling holes whilst decorating.

I had a really fun winter ❄️
The skeeter's girlfriend wearing his hat (burgundy beanie) and brown wool coat on top of her running gear. She is smiling and throwing up peace signs. The bottom of someone's leg. They are wearing jeans and boots, both of which are covered in a thick layer of yoghurt at the bottom. The skeeter's girlfriend in a well lit hotel bar interior. She is smiling and looks really happy. There is a marble table with some plates: a cut of fish for her; some carrot tempura for the skeeter. The skeeter's girlfriend in an Italian deli, wearing a green wool jumper with little sheep on it and a faux fur headband

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson surprisingly speaks out in support of trans rights in new Guardian interview.
"There's obviously something wrong with the system," he said. "Where's the common sense in this? I can't think of any other form you can fill out anywhere in this country that can't be changed. This little girl is going to have male on her birth certificate for the rest of her life under the law as it stands and that's just ridiculous."

Being in the office the morning after your work Christmas party
This place is not a place of honour No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here Nothing valued is here What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us The danger is in a particular location The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours

I forget I live in London sometimes until I see mad views like this
A view of lots of really tall buildings (Canary Wharf) in the background of a shot. In the midground is a bright white neoclassical building with covered exterior walkways (Greenwich Maritime Museum). In the foreground, a huge lawn (Greenwich Park). There are people picnicking on the lawn; the sky is bright and slightly clouded.

Another fun thing I did in Glasgow.
A photo of the tweeter, smiling, in a phone booth with the phone up to his ear. Surrounding the booth are the painted stencils for Banksy's "Spy Booth": suited men with tan trenchcoats, hats, and listening equipment. The photo has a Polaroid quality, with high contrast but muted colours.

The best bit about trips to Scotland.
4 packets of six potato scones and 2 packets of four Scottish morning rolls on a kitchen counter. Both are McGhee's.

Arran was fun.
A selfie of the skeeter and his friend Jonathan. The sea is visible in the background. Both men wear hats with bills. The friend is dressed foolishly. The skeeter wears a Scotland shirt. A photo of the sea on a clear day from up high. A treeline (pines) is visible at the bottom, and clouds are visible at the top. The coastline of the mainland is visible faintly in the background. A view of a rocky hill and valley path, from up high. Mossy rocks are visible in the foreground. A more moody photo of other hills from up high. The valley is visible, with a path running down the bottom.
