Well i'm shocked, surprised and never thought something like this would ever happen, ever. I am gobsmacked. I cannot believe it. It can't be true. I am shooketh.
A screenshot of the BBC News website which says 'Breaking' in bold red letters and then says 'Ex-Tory minister Nadine Dorries defects to Reform UK' The photo to accompany the headline is of a white middle aged woman with white hair pulled back and a white suit on, open mouthed looking like she is maybe sat in a TV News Studio.

I have no pets so i imposed the audiobook on the local wildlife. They asked me to use headphones. Rude.
A duck happily eats oats on a lake near to a wooden jetty while a phone is waved near them with the Secret Barristers 'Cut Throat Trial's audiobook showing on the screen. Great book - highly recommended.

A lovely bunch of balloons of the hot air variety hanging in the sky over the lake that sits between Pigeonhouse Stream and The Malago in South Bristol. The final mass ascent of the 2025 Bristol Balloon Fiesta.
A lovely bunch of balloons of the hot air variety (around 16) hanging in the sky over the lake that sits between Pigeonhouse Stream and The Malago in South Bristol. The final mass ascent of the 2025 Bristol Balloon Fiesta. A few of the balloons are reflected in the lake and the lake is surrounded by green trees and there is just a stripe of cloud in an otherwise blue sky

Just seen The Ballad of Wallis Island for a second time and it was even funnier,more emotional, more hopeful, more joyful, devastatingly simple than the first watch. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Firm top ten film of all time for me.
Film poster for The Ballad of Wallis Island. This shows the three main actors-Tom Basden on the left, tim key in the middle and Carey Mulligan on the right.

These balloons are hanging out over Knowle West again. Have the poor school roofs not suffered enough? #BristolBalloonFiesta
A whole bunch of hot air balloons photographed from Imperial Retail Park in Bristol. They are over Knowle where one of them bumped into the roof of a school on Friday.

An opening credit image of Out of this world in pink writing above a ringed planet. Out of this world was a teen sitcom about a girl whose dad was an alien I think. The theme tune was 'would you like to swing on a star'

Here's one for @catsofyore.bsky.social
June 1975
Rosa
Bromsgrove

I particularly love the large red rotary phone and the Barbara Brown Omega design curtains in the background. Classic 1970s. Rosa was a brilliant family cat who lived with us until she died at around 18.
A dark photo taken in June 1975 of a black and white kitten. It is sat on a low table in a dark room but lit from above by an angle poise lamp. There is a large red rotary phone in the background and the cat is sat on a backgammon board. There is a spider plant at the edge of the photo and the curtains are the classic in the heals collection at the V and A, Barbara Brown Omega design. Classic 1970s!

A screen shot of a BBC news headline from 04/07/2025 saying that Kier Starmer has said he understands what anchors US president Donald Trump, having built a relationship on shared family values. A screenshot from an Independent article listing all the things Donald Trump has said about his daughter Ivanka - this particular screenshot says 'in the almost 20 years since, Mr Trump has called his eldest daughter "voluptuous".He's said it's OK to describe her as "a piece of ass", thought she is a senior executive in his business empire. And he's said that, if she wasn't his daughter, "perhaps [he'd] be dating her' A screenshot from the same independent article - this one says ' 16 year old daughter Ivanka host the 1997 Miss Tenn USA pageant, he turned to the then-Miss Universe and asked "don't you think my daughter's hot? She's hot, right?"' A screenshot from the same independent article. This one says 'Rolling Stone Interview, Sept 2015 "After I met Ivanka and praised her father, he said, 'Yeah she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father..."'

I've pretty sure I have broken a toe by stubbing it yesterday. What a twat.
A close up photo of five toes on a left foot. Each toe has eyes, eyebrows and a mouth superimposed. The big toe (the one that went to market) is laughing with a thought bubble saying hohoho. The second toe (the one that stayed at home) has eyes squeezed shit and a thought bubble that says snort. The middle toe (the one that had roast beef) has a thought bubble that says Ha Ha. The little toes (the one that went weeweeweewee all the way home) had a thought bubble that says Hee Hee. The fourth toe is a little bruised due to being broken and looks sad and has a speech bubble that says 'First I get no roast beef, now this...'

Rarely seen in nature, an empty top deck and a human of the species sitting in the 'drivers' seat.
A grey haired woman, wearing glasses, sitting on the top deck of a bus. The top deck is empty. She looks pleased.

I love visiting my folks in their pretty village
Michelmas daisies - pink and white daisies growing in a large amount - they are all along the pavements of the village A lovely bit of carved stone at the top of the entrance to a house - a simple curl with a flower carved into it. Behind the stone is some overgrowing, lush, green leaves

Just some specs of mud on a bus. Still images that convey so much about speed.

A screenshot from BBC news with one story stating that one in the people have no savings. Below it is a story that the kings wealth has risen. Between them I've added the text that the lower story stated that the king is worth £270m more than his mother. I felt the two stories juxtaposed made them both more relevant.

My gorgeous treat piece of ceramic arrived safe and sound and beautiful! I love it - that you @roseschmits.bsky.social
A piece of ceramic art in an organic form like a larger squashed tube, rising to a smaller point with fronds around the opening and what appear to be a surgical dotted line up the side of it. I would describe it as yonic. The pieces title is Trans forms I 171 by Rose Schmits.

Gorgeous street art above the Silver and Steel shop in #Bedminster #Bristol this morning. These colours are glorious.
Reds, creams, peach, blue street art on the external wall of a first floor flat above a shop. It is reminiscent of mexican designs and very bold and clear colours. There are eyes and geometric patterns to the design. The background is a dark green which perfectly matches the colour of the shop sign which is named silver and steel. There are two windows. The artists name is written as if it were are old street sign and I think it is signed STEPA AIFO.

Lovely things I saw in #Bedminster #Bristol this morning. tulips from Primrose May Florist. Old timey pharmaceutical display in Bedminster Pharmacy window. I love Bristol.
Old pharmaceutical display in the window of a pharmacy in Bedminster. Two glass bottles with red stoppers labelled 'vigor tonic' and 'Formalin Inhalant'. There is also what looks like a pestle and mortar in the display. The photo shows a reflection of buildings in the window. A photo of a pharmaceutical window display. A glass decanter and a bashed copper pot and a small tin labelled Bile Beans. These three items are enclosed in a glass display case. A pharmaceutical display in a pharmacy window of a white bowl, blue glass bottles and white ceramic pots. Behind the pots in a blue and white floral pattern and there is a very clear reflection of a window frame on the glass. Some peach coloured tulips wrapped in old brown newspaper printed paper.

A place a building that for puts people first people
A hoarding outside a building site with terribly designed graphics and a mix of large and small fonts. The sign reads a place a building that for puts people first people.

My glasses on my bedside table reminding me to read my book
A pair of black framed reading glasses on a metal wire shelf. The lenses make part of the title and author on the spine of a blue book behind the glasses much clearer and larger and easier to read. The book is The Empusium by Olga Tokarczuk.

Yes he is, he's number 2
One of the Number 2 characters from The Prisoner who bears a striking resemblance to Joe 90 (blond hair and thick rimmed black glasses) speaking on a very retro yellow phone.

I'm sure I had a couple of marshmallows - have you seen them?
An official portrait of Donald Trump, wearing a grey suit and red tie. His cheeks look slightly puffy as if he could possibly be smuggling a marshmallow in each one.

Well this was a brilliant read. Horrific and visceral. Strong recommend.
A photo of a book called The Dig by Cynan Jones. The cover shows a simple image of a mound of earth with a badger inside it and a man standing on top of the mound of earth.
