I spent the past weekend in Amsterdam. I really enjoyed watching utility cyclists whizzing about or just ambling along. For large parts of the city, this also means less noise compared to other urban environments. Also, also I have a soft spot for the Dutch and their way of being. ❤️🇳🇱
Photo of two bicycles chained to a bridge railing, across a canal in Amsterdam. Tall old buildings line both side of the canal. Photo of a flamboyantly decorated bicycle attached to a raining next to a canal in Amsterdam. The bicycle is covered in fake flowers, grass and butterflies. Photo of a street scene in Amsterdam. At the front several bikes of different sizes are locked to railings or lamp posts, including a small child’s bike. Beyond the railings is a canal and on the other side are many tall, old buildings, some of which are leaning to the side somewhat. Photo of a Dutch bike locked to window bars in front of an artistic sign saying “Katten Kabinet”. The sign had an image of two rows of trees forming a path, down which a cat (facing away from the viewer), is walking.

A long weekend, finished with windmills… ❤️🇳🇱
Photo of 5 wind mills, with one closer to the viewer than the other 4. All are right next to water. These are all in the Zaanse Schans cultural village in the Netherlands, close to Amsterdam.

Manchester is a gorgeous city
Photo of a street in Manchester. In the foreground is a planter with some plant vines spilling over the side. The planter is painted in the colours of the gay pride flag (incorporating all LGBTQ colours). Behind the planter is a railing and a canal. On the other side of the canal is a venue with a large red cyclops monster outside.

Big fan of Wallace and Gromit in my house ❤️
Photo of a tabby cat sat in front of a TV, which is on a 3-tiered glass TV table. The cat is looking up at the TV which is currently showing a shot from the film Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, where the dog, Gromit, is wearing a dressing gown and looking straight ahead.

Fair play to the picker who put this single piece of ginger into our grocery delivery. We DID ask for one (1), and this very much is it!
