Meanwhile, on the moon...

Me... off to "get my own oil"

My eldest daughter just spotted this down by the football pitches in Ross. Someone must be missing it!

A Strada! I had one of those as my first car... it was, shall we say, an "exercise in love and hate"

He looks like he's run out of loo roll...
And I daresay he's got cramp in his legs, seeing as he's been there a while!

Photograph of the head and upper body of a stone angel statue with her eyes closed and head bowed. She is covered in lichen and frost. Behind her is a stone church bell tower.

For this week's #BlueSkyArtShow the theme is #Stone and here is a frost covered stone angel standing silently in a graveyard.

Shot from a ferry to the Isle of Mull in Scotland, this photograph is taken across water to a coastline in silhouette with the sun setting behind. A perfectly cloudless sky is above the distant mountains.

Good Morning everyone! For this week's #BlueSkyArtShow the theme is #Horizontal and here is a shot I took exactly 24 years ago in Scotland.
Have a great day, all!

In the 90's I worked customer support. An MP (initials HH) called in with a tirade of abuse. Complete b*tch, using some very inappropriate language. Used the old "do you KNOW who I am?" line.
Yes, I know who you are & you're going back on hold for another 20 minutes so you can calm the f### down..

I attended an RSC Christmas party in Stratford many years ago. Emma was gloriously clattered, fabulously foul mouthed (calling everyone absolutely everything under the sun) and exceptionally good fun.
Great night!

Post something #green.
Just because... 😄

Cette photographie en noir et blanc représente un jeune enfant debout dans un nuage de brume, au Jardin d'acclimatation dans Bois de Boulogne (75116 Paris, France). L'enfant, dos au spectateur, est placé au centre du cadre. Il porte un t-shirt à manches courtes, un short et des baskets. Ses bras sont tendus, une main levée vers le ciel et l'autre étendue sur le côté. Son regard est tourné vers le ciel, comme s'il interagissait avec la brume. Celle-ci, élément visuel dominant, occupe la majeure partie du cadre. Tourbillonnante et éthérée, elle présente des densités et des textures variées. De fines gouttelettes ou particules sont visibles à l'intérieur. Le fond, sombre, presque noir, contraste fortement avec la brume lumineuse et la silhouette de l'enfant. Le sol est pavé. La composition, simple mais efficace, met l'accent sur l'interaction entre l'enfant et son environnement. L'image se dégage d'une atmosphère d'émerveillement, de fantaisie et d'immersion dans un phénomène naturel ou artificiel. La palette monochrome met en valeur les textures, les formes et le jeu d'ombre et de lumière.

The Democracy Manifest guy being manhandled into a red car by the cops. He's now Andy Windsor and one of the arresting officers is Paddington Bear, who always puts in a shift regardless of his day job as a Peruvian psychopomp.

"Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Trading secrets? Trading succulent state secrets?"

A black steel frame captures the modern viewpoint of Dordrecht in the Netherlands, comparing it with the picture below the frame, that was painted nearly 400 years ago.

In the Netherlands, a picture frame has been erected to capture a modern comparison to the 1629 painting of a bustling river and the town of Dordrecht by Adam Willaerts (copy below the frame).
One of several similar frames along the waterfront opposite Dordrecht.

The statue at the centre of Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam.

This is my favourite story about Braverman's early political career.

'A long silence followed the first suggestion of impropriety. "You can't prove anything," she told us.'

Available on iPlayer in the UK, this is quite an eye opener

Yes they do... I'd urge anyone interested to discover the thrills and spills of Reliant Robin (and Rialto) Demolition Derbys while there are still some left. Great fun.

I see Liz Truss is advertising Fanta nowadays... lol
"That is outrageous!"

That's my local town too. Very pretty - even when it's flooded 🤣

The last of the sun as it starts to dip over the horizon. The sky is a bright orange, mixed with dark clouds. Caught in the bright yellow sun are two offshore wind turbines. Shot taken from the Vendee region of France looking out over the Bay of Biscay.

Good Morning Bluessky. It's Saturday so it's time for the #BlueSkyArtShow and for this week the theme is #Warmth

Here is the last of the sun's warmth, catching a couple of wind turbines in silhouette as it appears to touch the sea.

E is for E-Type

I had the pleasure of living and working there 20 years ago and I love this city. Whenever I visit now and walk out the main doors at Amsterdam Central I always feel like I've come home.

Maybe if you're out, then they rapture your neighbour instead?

What I want to know is... is my bin still going to get emptied?
I certainly hope so.

I used to love going to South Melbourne market every weekend for these... Miss them!

Good Morning! It's Saturday, so it's time for the ##BlueSkyArtShow and for this week the theme is #Skyline.

Is one of the articles by Coren titled "How to lock your car properly so it doesn't get stolen"?

Lol
