If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".

G’day! Have a freshly unwrapped Mediterranean sunrise and good wishes for your weekend!
Sunrise over the Mediterranean. The sun is a bright yellow ball low in the sky, on the right of the picture. It paints cloud banks a golden orange, with some a wispy white high in the picture, and a further darker mass to the right.

Share someone who looks stylish in a hat
The cover of Rickie Lee Jones’ self-titled debut album. Rickie is lighting a cigarillo, wearing her trademark beret. She is the epitome of cool.

Not a meme but I hope it helps… 💜
The Mountain - Laura Ding-Edwards If the mountain seems too big today then climb a hill instead if the morning brings you sadness it’s okay to stay in bed if the day ahead weighs heavy and your plans feel like a curse there’s no shame in re-arranging don’t make yourself feel worse if a shower stings like needles and a bath feels like you’ll drown if you haven’t washed your hair for days don’t throw away your crown a day is not a lifetime a rest is not defeat don’t think of it as failure just a quiet kind retreat it’s okay to take a moment from an anxious fractured mind the world will not stop turning while you get realigned the mountain will still be there when you want to try again so climb it in your own time and love yourself til then

Thanks for the tip, will do 👍

I really liked the way they developed the characters - as well as our “hero” pair I do hope to see more of Chishiya and Kuina.

If you see this, post a bridge…
A view of the Charles Bridge in Prague. An imposing tower is set at the end of the bridge, which is of dark stone. Behind it are lighter coloured, picturesque buildings with a tall clock tower surmounting the scene.

What movie do you consider perfect?
Movie poster for the film “Local Hero”. A bemused looking executive in a grey suit with a briefcase in one hand and raincoat over the other arm is barefoot, with his trousers rolled up to his knees as he stands in the water at a sandy beach. He is looking towards a red public telephone kiosk, his only means of communication with the outside world.

It is, really lovely. This was taken from the other side of the lake (shortly before those black clouds dumped an absolute downpour!)

#BlueSkyMonday
Looking across Chew Valley Lake near Bath. A brick channel feeds into the lake in the centre foreground and a reed bed extends off to the left. Trees stand to the right of the frame and the body of the lake extends into the distance. Overhead large white clouds float in a blue sky.
