Not much can beat local live music. The Gerry Farrow Band warming up.
Four men warming up and sound checking for a gig about to start. Set in a small local pub, cheese and biscuits, cheese cobs and crisps in the foreground.

Thank you whoever has been putting these up around Loughborough ❤️
A poster on a lamppost which reads: Our Community Stands for Love and Respect To our neighbours and friends, In our neighbourhood, everyone is welcome, regardless of your nationality, background, or beliefs. We do not tolerate racism or hate in any form. The flags and their intended message do not represent the many of us who live here. We believe in kindness, friendship, and unity. This is a place for love, respect, and togetherness, for everyone. There are many positive ways we can show respect and patriotism without the flag flying at half mast on lamp posts: • Look out for your neighbours and offer a helping hand • Keep our streets clean and safe • Celebrate the diverse cultures and traditions that enrich our community • Support local shops, cafes and events • Fly symbols of peace, unity or local pride on your own property without disrespecting public spaces. LOVE OUR COMMUNITY, LOVE LOUGHBOROUGH, HATE RACISM

Do something amazing, give blood and save lives. Quick, easy and relatively painless. Blood donations are especially important at this time of year when people are busy and there is also a greater demand. Stop putting it off and get to it!

Make a decision. Use apostrophes or don't (preferably do)!
A photograph of a brewery's list of beers where one correctly has a possessive apostrophe and two are sadly missing them. Do or do not, don't sit somewhere in the middle.

Looking the other way
A view of the sunset which created the warm pink light on Towers from the previous skeet. Light grey clouds lit with orange and pink light from the sunset. Typical suburban houses and gardens in the foreground with plenty of lovely green foliage showing spring is definitely upon us.

Towers under a rainbow 🌈 @lborouniversity.bsky.social
A photograph of a grey sky with a rainbow with a typical British street in the foreground and the Loughborough University Towers student hall in the background. The rainbow is perched just above Towers.

I've just posted my ballot #UCU. Our HE branches are fighting for our lives. Alone we crumble, united we’re strong.

Please vote for @illdoitanyway.bsky.social & for left/independent candidates. We need leadership prepared to uphold democracy, to organise, & who believe in collectivity as strength.

Them lines, they are a fizzing. Should we be worried @engineerlondon.bsky.social 😀
A photograph of an electricity tower between Quorn and Mountsorrel in Leicestershire. There are trees in the foreground, the photo taken from the local refuse tip after I heard the lines fizzing and buzzing and thought of our favourite electrical engineer.

Beer, how beer should be 😀
A pint of mild served in the pub it was brewed in straight from the cask. Can it get any better?

Good morning from Loughborough
A view over the backs of some houses. A sunrise tinged with yellows, oranges and pinks in the distance. A closer up version of the first image. A view over the backs of some houses. A sunrise tinged with yellows, oranges and pinks in the distance, the oranges now much more in the fore due to the additional zoom.

Sadly couldn't make it down to see @standupmaths.bsky.social, Helen Arney and Steve Mould at An Evening of Unnecessary Detail due to last minute unexpected circumstances. So instead I stuck on Full Frontal Nerdity and loved that instead. Thanks folks, fingers crossed for next year!

Good morning from Loughborough
Sunrise in Loughborough, a blue sky at the top with pink tinged clouds below and the first hints of yellow appearing toward the bottom. A zoomed in version of the first image. A silhouetted house in the central, with now orange and pink tinged clouds and the yellow hints of sunrise at the bottom. A photograph of the same sunrise taken from first floor level. Now a tree with bare branches is silhouetted with the blue sky, pink and yellow tinged clouds and hints of yellow sunrise interspersed.
