Fun old day. Spent longer than I'd like emailing parcel hoarders Evri, begging them to stop accepting deliveries to my flat as they don't come here and it's annoying watching things get returned every (ha!) time.
Then DPD tell me they delivered to my neighbour. I have never seen this door before.
A very smart red door for flat 1, somewhere

I am proud of how Dad my Dad is
Text notification from my Dad. It is a thumbs up emoji. Nothing else. 100% pure Dadding In the image I have for him, he's hiding behind a sign that says "Hide"

Well, there's a necklace I'm far too online for
Alex Monroe necklace, here in silver. It's shaped like a little frame with a heart hanging below it and a hand clasping either side of the open frame, like a square goatsi

Presenting proof that my friend Chris loves me very much (they are his favourite ones, too)
A paper bag full of loads of only the white ones from Haribo jelly babies. You can't buy them in single flavours, you have to save them from lots and lots of bags of mixed jelly babies

Doesn't seem very sanitary, but, ok
An A4 printed paper sign blutacked to the wall at Haymarket station. It says "Toilets out of order please use platform 1"

Affectionate remembrance, indeed
It's a gravestone in affectionate remembrance of Fanny Fiddling, who passed to the homeland aged 68 years. And her husband. I saw them in a churchyard today

This still sums up my feelings for about 2 years in the mid (19)90s. My beard was never as fine, however

A little while ago, I found your whole family in a shop window. If law and writing don't work out, the jockey is very smart.
(I'll be listening to the new book after work today)

Today, I am wearing my orange socks that make me feel like a goose
The goose from the Untitled Goose Game. He has lovely orange feet, just like me in my orange socks

Thanks, Royal Mail. I guess I'm off touring the pubs tonight. That foot rail looks new, which gives me some ideas
Royal Mail proof of delivery photo showing my parcel held over a wooden floor, in the background there is a hint of a dark painted wood panel and a shiny brass foot rail, suggesting the panelling is a bar in a newly refitted traditional pub. I don't live in a pub

I saw this in the KGB Prison Cells museum in Tallinn and thought of you
Two white girls/ young women with their cat. One girl is seated, holding the small white and tabby cat, the other stands with her arm around the seated girl, and looks at the camera. Her dress has embroidered details.

I'm never going to listen to people who bitch about the Scottish weather, because generally I think it's far nicer than people give it credit for.

But especially today. Today is just fine.
My weather app shows that here in Edinburgh it is 17⁰C, light rain, with daily high temp of 23⁰ and low of 14⁰. There's an illustration of a woman in boots with a brolly, which is a bit much for how the day actually is

That was a good holiday. And now I must unpack.
The sky is blue and full of white fluffy clouds, the land is dark jaggy hills covered in snow, and the water is almost glass-smooth and contains a a few tiny bits of floe ice, and the reflections of the hills and clouds. It's a beautiful day in Svalbard

I got hooked on lanolin though that one. But, don't worry, any lanolin is good. Here's two I have. I always travel with lanolin. It's a miracle product. The tub one has a faint smell but is WAY cheaper.
An 8ml tube of Dr Lipp original nipple balm (it has a lip balm style nozzle) and a 200ml tub of Prounol pure lanolin, which is slightly less good

Good morning. Today I am in disbelief at this man. It's not the benefits rules that are unfair in this case, lady, it's the horrible man.
One woman, from County Durham, said the huge gap in her and her partner’s unshared earnings meant that she had decided against having children. “He’s on £200,000, I’m on £34,000. He’s made clear that future bills would need to be split 50/50. I’d normally be able to apply for universal credit during maternity leave and for help with childcare costs, but because of my partner’s high salary I’m not entitled to any help, despite the fact that I don’t benefit from his income in any way,” she said. “I’d have to claim benefits illegally to afford having children, so I’ve given up on it. I think the government doesn’t understand how common it is today for couples to not share their finances at all, which makes the benefit rules very unfair.”

It's true!
The image is of my leg straight out in front of me as I sit on a black sand beach in Antarctica. A young Gentoo penguin is resting his tummy on my calf and is looking towards me. We are friends.

I love where I live, but man, it can make the weather app read bleak
Screenshot of my weather app. It's on a grey background, which is a blurred distance shot of the north sea. The app says 4⁰, old town, rain
