Scotland.
A man stands outside a pub in Glasgow, wearing Caterpillar beige boots, socks embossed with a Scottish flag, and a kilt and Scotland top. He lights a cigarette; his hand illuminated by the flame. You cannot see his face, which is cropped from the top of the photograph.

The big push for blood donors in the press today is working! Went to book and there's a 31-minute queue for the booking portal. Don't mind waiting. Incredible stuff #NHSblood

Some more public service journalism. A survey of 2,000 British people has led to the conclusion that this is the true North-South divide, snaking around the West Midlands before cutting across to East Anglia. Why? Chips.

I went to visit @lancspolice.bsky.social to find out what makes them Britain's most technologically advanced police force. And somehow wedged in references to Robocop.

Hi BlueSky. Here’s a peachy sky.
A photograph of a sunset in a park, the sun framed by two bare trees silhouetted by the sun. The shadows of the tree are cast into the grass of the park, and on either side houses can be seen on roads that run parallel to the park’s edge.

A lovely romantic photo of Glasgow Central - just before Avanti cancelled my train
A photo of the Grand Central Hotel on the corner of Glasgow Central Station - an imposing building with a clock at its peaked top. It is lit in a warm evening red against a pale dark blue sky. Traffic drives past it, blurred in the photograph. In the foreground there is a tall post, distorted by the wide angle lens to appear as tall as the hotel itself.

These London train delays are getting ridiculous
A train departure board which states trains are expected in 1278 and 1219 minutes

A Saturday morning exclusive: Ex-Harrods security guard Rav Wilding has distanced himself from an old Channel 5 documentary that was repeated last night praising Mohamed Al Fayed - in which he said the alleged sex predator was 'great to work for'.

Big fan of this pub that lists prime ministers on the wall but just gave up at Theresa May

Thought for a minute Chris Whitty had been on a mad one
An artwork entitled Sleepwalker at the Frieze Sculpture exhibition in Regents Park, London. It depicts a man sleepwalking in his boxer shorts - and he bears a resemblance to chief medical officer Sir Chris Whitty

Turns out today is, cumulatively, donation number 20. I’m allowed to be pleased with that, I reckon 💪
An email from the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service that reads: “I can confirm that you have made 19 blood donations in Scotland”

Resumed the good habit today - Scotland’s loss is England’s gain🩸

Ever thought about giving blood? It takes about half an hour, and you get biscuits.
