Sometimes you take a photo but are so concentrated on the subject you don't realize what else is going on 😅 Love the couple in front of Puppy. 😁

It's not the Guggenheim but it's still great fun. El Peix d'Or by Frank Gehry near the Barceloneta beach in Barcelona.

Sunday flower market in Bilbao. And no, I didn't buy any as I didn't want to carry them while continuing my walk. Plus, though I tried not to show it on the photos, it was heaving with people. 💐🌻🌷⚘

Statues ( and suitcase) to remember the Basque children who were evacuated from Santurce during the Spanish Civil War. Many of them went to the UK.

@wordsmithgetxo.bsky.social As you are the resident bird expert I need some help. Sorry the photos are so poor. I googled the first one so I know it's a Muscovy Duck but what is my little friend I met today on my way to Santurce??

Yesterday on Twitter Jenny Eclair posted a photo of the coast from the London to Edinburgh train. I commented that I also loved the sudden appearance of the wonderful Angel of the North. ❤
Today some female I don't know is telling me you can't see it from the train. 🤦♀️
Maybe she was having 40 winks.

Absolute no-brainer which book I was going to read next. A JAM fan since the energy of "In The City" and the cheekiness of "Batman Theme". Lucky enough to see them live in Cardiff in 1980. And after the sad news of Rick's passing. #RIPRick

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Anne Glenconner's "Lady In Waiting" is a tough act to follow. Let's see what you've got Phyllida Law!! 😉

Seeing loads of people on Twitter complaining about Ticketmaster again reminds me of how things were back in the day.
In 1977 Nils Lofgren supported by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed at Sheffield City Hall. I saw the advert in NME, wrote to the City Hall........ 1/2

I know exactly why I bought this book!! I saw her on the Graham Norton Show (check it out on youtube) and she had everyone in stitches. (n.b. honeymoon in Paris 😂😂) and I'm pretty sure there'll be lots of great anecdotes in this book. #NowReading #Book6 #BooksIn2025

Matt Haig is always worth reading and I am definitely interested in anything that can help my mental health, anxiety, stress etc Easy to read in short chapters (so far), i think I'll finish this in a day, 2 at the most.
