Slow cyclist, serial enthusiast, aspiring harpy. Mostly in Edinburgh.
Work: World Heritage things (for now...) Volunteering: river things
Helped out at another brilliant @wolct.bsky.social plant sale this morning. Contrast another trustee's restrained & sensible selection with my "just a few, don't go mental... well maybe just one more..." plant pile. Oops?

"Movies you’ve watched more than six times, using gifs. (No big franchises!)"

Tragic lack of gifs available on Bluesky for this one.

Way out West. (Portuairk in April between the hail showers.)

What a morning to slightly overload your borrowed Brompton (hi @judy.co.uk ) and head over to the @wolct.bsky.social for a coffee and an Ikea item handover! #SpringInEdinburgh #quaxing #WaterofLeith

Got appointment time wrong and arrived at the hairdresser to find the door locked and Archie the assistant in sole charge.

He wouldn't let me in - just gave me this judgemental stare through the glass.

(Rescheduled with the human & Archie napped hard while I got trimmed.)

Stopped at both of these on a bike ride across Canada back in 2015. Terry Fox made me think. The Wawa Goose was just a wee delight to a tired cyclist on a grey, damp day. (So was swapping my camping plans for a night in a Wawa motel after a peaceful afternoon sitting by the lake.)

Sometimes I remember to read or reread a poem, and it always shifts something in my head - somehow, sooner or later.

A Lego Dunlop Drinking Fountain for example? (Inverleith Park's finest erection.)

Gull taking liberties at Inverleith Boating Pond this morning. Swan unbothered or oblivious! #edinburgh

Breaking a badger over the hull to launch my bluesky posting career.

(Mainly here to lurk.)
