We’ve had a lot of ‘purple rain’ this week but a ‘purple haze’ in honour of a Mr Hendrix who is rumoured to have stayed in a nearby hotel in Hither Green.
There are so many gorgeous beaches in the west of Scotland
A hyper-close-up (macro) view of a clear water droplet resting on a textured surface, surrounded by smaller droplets. The scene is bathed in soft purple and pink hues, with a blurred, bokeh-style background. The main droplet appears glossy and reflective, catching light with subtle rainbow-like highlights, while the surrounding droplets add sparkle and depth.

I only want to see you dancing in the purple rain 🕺😊
They’ve been largely replaced in rivers by Lime e bikes in London.
Photo of the South of Scotland regional ballot paper for the Scottish election on 7th May 2026. Added text identifies the "INDEPENDENT GREEN VOICE" as "NOT the Green Party" and "SCOTTISH GREEN PARTY" as "The actual Green Party".
Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.
Large oak tree in a parkland setting on a sunny spring morning, it is fully leaved.

Early stroll. Horizon like a one-bar electric fire. A curling wave of orange peel. That snail’s long journey. A blackbird’s sculpted song. A dropped piece of string as long as a piece of string.
The government froze local housing allowance, which effectively meant a real-terms cut to housing benefit. This is what it means for renters
As soon as you mentioned ‘dodgy transformer’ there was only one place that was going.
I suspect the government is going to get another crash course in the law of unintended consequences when pushing through overly restrictive knee-jerk policies without properly considering implications, especially, but not limited to, students with higher support needs.

Wide sandy beach with a large stream flowing across, two people and a dog on it. Behind is rough grass, beyond mountains capped with snow. The sky is grey and cloudy.

Thank you, you are far too kind! You should see the rubbish in my deleted items folder!
Thank you! It’s the first attempt at one of those that has ‘worked’ reasonably well this year and produced a subtle rainbow.

Grinning white, ageing man who is half smiling into the camera, oak tree next to him. For once his hair isn’t a complete state. He is wearing a light blue t shirt with pink letters with North Downs Run visible
Bright orange flower, probably Geum, but I could be wrong
The first time I’d done hill reps for ages - there were only half a dozen up the hill from Charles’ Corner in Mountsfield Park, but it felt like progress (even though Garmin was unimpressed). The park and ‘tree’ looking stunning in the early sun. #JogDivision #GreenRunners
Well done! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Early stroll. My strolling state of receptivity. A cloud shaped like Ireland. Is that mist the same as yesterday’s? That abandoned cupboard has been there for days. Trope into cliche: the dropped industrial glove in the middle of the road.
An infinity mirror room, with people snaking through with multiple reflections of them. The background colour is purple and there are reflections of dots of light, there appear to be thousands of them mainly in white and blue.

So I saw, is everything properly sorted out now
It’s been playing up all week

The juxtaposition of you stiles with a post from BlueSky’s preeminent stiles poster amused me @lakesstiles.bsky.social
Well done, sorry I missed this yesterday.

I saw it on Insta; it all centred around an idea for a coffee shop which in the end didn’t happen together.
There was some pretty poor behaviour by a small number, which is the reason I use #JogDivision but it was always more than the individuals who set it up. Do keep it going!
Well done!
Hope it goes well 🤞
Old Harry Rocks are three chalk formations, including a stack and a stump. Grass on top of the chalk, blue skies above, the seas looks blue with bits of Hampshire on the horizon.

Poor proof reading, as advertised in biog
It was much better than the Lewisham parks I usually litter pick in - four of us only managed the equivalent of a black sack full between us.
