Although unrelated to your tree light ordeals, if I think of movies with a clear love for music, that gif is from an underrated gem.

I have three screens for working at home.
I like to say it’s so I can have spreadsheets open across all three, but in reality it’s so I can put YouTube ‘videos for cats’ on one screen each morning to keep one of my unpaid interns busy.
He’s never actually seen a mouse - I suspect he’d run a mile.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit Rome’s Colosseum several times over the years, and yet only on today’s visit did I find out that the Colosseum has a cat flap.

The San Siro is such an iconic stadium, especially for old folk like me who remember Italia 90. Brilliant to finally visit.
Plus a beer and a hot dog at the football. An alien world to Scotland. The Italian reaction to a sad burnt pie and a tepid Bovril would be quite the sight.

Great news, everyone. Baxter the cat has decided to make a start on my beer advent calendar, so I want to wish you all a very happy December 8th. 🍻

Love that colour. Quality choice. How exciting it must be to see it all coming together.
Surely this sign is coming soon. I know I certainly want one. A cardigan. Not a sign.
Might even need to head west to come find the shop.

Love these. Highlight of visiting Bologna a few years back was wandering down to the anatomy museum to see the waxes. So amazingly detailed.

Did that with one and I’m kinda in between. Might email or DM tomorrow with a change, if that’s ok. Have paused the goat moulding.

I’ve ordered, although a bit nervous over sizing despite checking the guide.
I am not a religious man, but I shall lob out some prayers to a selection of deities and sacrifice several hastily-moulded plasticine goats to various idols in order to ensure a quality fitting sweatshirt harvest.

Thanks for making me feel ancient. I’m joking. I don’t need help with this.

Over there, the ‘For You’ feed is really ‘For You To Get Angry At’, whereas here the Discover tab is people warmly talking about books, albums and their all-time favourite pre-lunchtime biscuit. The relief is palpable. Overall, I mean. Not just in terms of biscuits.

The sound of the rattling crates was louder than the truck. The dimples on the bottles. The raised Bon Accord logo. The labels which were impossible to peel off. The absolute lack of the words ‘sugar-free’ on anything. The gentle fizzing of tooth decay after you’d supped a full bottle of Red Kola.
