No one is safe 🕶️
A screen shot of social media post by Specsavers, a UK chain of high street opticians showing a group of football fans wearing the red shirts of Liverpool Football Club. They all look sad. The caption reads, Liverpool fans, if you bring your glasses to any of our stores, we'll swap them for a blindfold so you don't have to watch this anymore.

That's no ballroom.

I love on summer's day, rent a rowing boat and head out to the Scott Memorial on the lake in Roath Park. Many lazy days spent there as a student.
Absolutely definitely not the Scott Memorial on Roath Park lake. A picture of the Bishop's Rock lighthouse against a blue sky.

Live from Sandhills 😞 or at least for my son who's been at the game, Crosby bound. According to my read of the Merseyrail timetable, only two more Southport bound trains.

So the #patriots like their little #Temu #flags. This one just about sums up the UK at the moment.

A rather threadbare Union Flag flies above the Lido Scogliera d' Armisi in Catania, Sicily. Only the lower left quarter of the flag remains. Behind the flag, a vivid blue and cloudless sky.

My son and I eventually were encouraged out of Upper Gwladys Street ages after full time by the stewards but only after a long reminiscing chat with them and photos, lots of photos.
One last look over Goodison Park.

Correction. Seven Apple laptops.

Also, this is not how you store an out of service Aeropress 😂
Various coffee making devices on the counter of a coffee shop including an Aeropress with the rubber plunger still in the barrel. Coffee geeks know that this reduces the life of the rubber.

In a coffee shop in Porto enjoying a late breakfast, Combi Coffee Roasters, 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, if in town you should check it out.

Smallish seating space, six laptop users sitting at tables, every one using an Apple one. I think we have found the hip/woke centre of Porto😜

📱Posted from an Android 🤖 phone.
Three people siting alone at tables in a coffee shop in Porto, Portugal. Each table has an Apple laptop open and in use. Behind the tables, on the wall is an old map showing Porto. A handwritten blackboard sign on the counter of Combi Coffee Roasters in Porto, the sign reads "No laptops + ipads on weekends + local public holidays. Enjoy your coffee."

Rationing eggs, almost certainly eggs 🇺🇸
Picture shows an ebook reader open at a page from the George Orwell novel 1984. The page reads, ... happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us. Here are some of the completed figures. Foodstuffs ——' The phrase ‘our new, happy life' recurred several times. It had been a favourite of late with the Ministry of Plenty. Parsons, his attention caught by the trumpet call, sat listening with a sort of gaping solemnity, a sort of edified boredom. He could not follow the figures, but he was aware that they were in some way a cause for satisfaction. He had lugged out a huge and filthy pipe which was already half full of charred tobacco.

Mrs Sinclair has got some fancy new Varifocal glasses. Not much wrong with my eyesight 👀.
Packaging from a pair of Varifocal fitted glasses next to a cassette copy of the Phil Collins album Hello I Must Be Going. The artwork of the two is very similar.

They say that Facebook knows everything about you, based on this, I'm less sure. No to both questions 😂
A screenshot of an advert from my personal Facebook page from UMI Surveys. The advert says "Share your insights on the critical roles fats play in food formulation, processing, and performance!" The photo in the advert is of a male worker dressed in protective clothing with blue gloves holding an iPad, in the background are stainless steel tanks, presumably some form of production line. The caption on the picture reads, "Work in food manufacturing and use duck fat? Take part in our market study?"

There are places I remember 💙
A young boy holding a blue smoke flare on an adult's shoulders waiting for the Everton team to arrive at Goodison Park. Looking down Goodison Road, the illuminated Everton club crest on the main stand. Blue smoke in the air on Goodison Road as the Everton team coach arrived for the derby. The illuminated Goodison Park sign above the Park End stand.
