Can't wait to read it. Just got to go and collect it from my friendly, neighbourhood bookshop!
Screenshot of a completed order for Absolution by Jeff Vandermeer. The cover looks amazing, with a rainbow metallic title, black background and an otherworldly alligator in blue, green, purple and yellow hues.

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you joy.
Mackenzie Crook as Andy and Toby Jones as Lance from the BBC comedy series "The Detectorists". They are standing together outside, with a tree forming most of the background, looking at one of their finds from metal detecting, with looks of not and happiness on their faces.

Picture of Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender. He is a friendly looking old man with grey hair in a top knot and a beard without a moustache. In the background is a small village with stepped hill levels and a river. Everyone should aim to be like Uncle Iroh.

Our friends' new rescue dog, a Maltese cross. Always looks happy 😍
Picture of a small, mostly white-haired dog with light brown tones. He has his mouth wide open with his tongue out, but looks like he is very happy to meet you. He is a very good boy.

Having grown up with a budgerigar, the first thing that pops into my head every time I hear Trill is this:
A picture of a green box of budgerigar food under the Trill band. There is a picture of a blue budgie on the front, apparently using his beak (not everyday sexism as it is a boy budgie) to lift up a flap on the box to show the bird seed inside.

Clint Eastwood, in his most iconic role as the Squadron Leader, ending the terror of the giant Tarantula before it could destroy the town of Desert Rock
A black and white still of a young Clint Eastwood from the film Tarantula. The shot is taken as if looking back from the control stick. Clint is wearing a fighter pilot's helmet and the lower portion of his face is covered with a pilot's oxygen mask. Riveted struts of the cockpit frame the picture, whilst you can see the sky with wispy clouds behind. Even here, you can see the piercing stare that would become his trademark.

Llyn Mwyngil, Wales
Photo of a particularly still lake in Wales, where the landscape and sky is completely reflected by the lake. Hills rise gently on both sides of the lake, whilst rolling clouds fill the sky. There is a small green and orange boat on the lake in the midground (water). On the left bank, there is a small wood and on the right, a few buildings. It was very peaceful.

Another day, another way they find to disappoint us.
Meme from The Office where someone is telling Jenna Fischer's character, Pam Beesly, "Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture", whilst holding up 2 pieces of paper. Here, one says 'Previous Tory Government' and the other says 'Current Labour Government '. Pam replies "They're the same picture".

Is this how it feels to be an influencer?

Amazing result for me - ordered lots of lovely tea and then appear to have won even more tea with a lucky Golden Ticket!

If there's one thing in literature that makes me sad, it's seeing reprints of books I own with covers that I love more than the ones I've got 😅😬😩

See also the reprints of @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social's Southern Reach trilogy...
Image of 3 books, Annihilation, Authority and Acceptance by Jeff Vandermeer that makes up the original Southern Reach Trilogy. The books are gorgeous, almost Dali-esque distortions of nature and reality with iridescent lettering and I want to buy them.

Is it him?
Screenshot of skeet by @davemacleod.bsky.social which asks "if you know who the person is who the Tories have put up for #PMQs this week well done because no one else does", showing nondescript middle aged white man in a navy blue suit, light blue shirt and blue tie, with glasses, at the House Of Commons. Followed in my timeline immediately with a skeet from @adambienkov.bsky.social that says "Conservative Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride, whose party raised taxes to record levels and presided over a surge in welfare costs, accuses the government of planning to raise taxes and increase welfare costs #pmqs"

Daughter at football training, so I'm treating myself to quick book and beer session and enjoying the weather at the nearby park 🍻📖🌳☀️

I've also now visited Cerne Abbas and seen the giant for myself. I agree with Giles; although it's interesting, I don't think I'd bother paying 50 new yen to see it either.

It also wasn't in the best shape when we saw it...
Photo of the Cerne Abbas giant, a chalk carving in a hill outside the village of Cerne Abbas, taken on a hot summer's day with bright blue sky. It's meant to show a giant figure holding a club with a massive erect penis, but when I saw it, much of the chalk figure was not visible and was hard to make out, including, yes, much of the penis

Quote post this with a picture of the airplane you’ll accept as a bribe.
Image of The Phoenix from Battle of the Planets / Gatchaman, a large red and blue jet with G-5 unit on top shown by its identification number on its wings. Its design had components resembling aircraft of the 1970s era with a bulky body, twin afterburners in the rear and VTOL thrusters for maneuvering.
