If you see this, post a monster (if you like)
Cover of the book "Fungus the Bogeyman" by Raymond Briggs. Fungus is a large green person with pointy ears and a pig-like nose, little horns and a small orange Mohican hairstyle. He is wearing a disreputable looking blue jacket and bandana

Weird and wonderful stuff @jambookshopuk.bsky.social - I appreciate the silliness, Mila is not so sure!
A small black dog with curly hair is lying next to a copy of "Vintage: the Definitive Comics Collection 2009 - 2025" by David Ziggy Greene, and a splendidly illustrated postcard showing two cartoon dogs with long hair rocking out on a pile of vinyl records. Mila the dog looks rather confused which could be a book review but is more likely her wondering why the heck her owner has propped a book on her. She's very patient with me

For the lazy, and because I like looking at these bridges. Rialto on the left, Sighs on the right. Slightly amended to remove identifiable faces

Mila's reaction to the snow this morning

#DogsOfBluesky #Snow #Scotland
A snow-covered patio just outside a door frame. There are ten pawprints describing a very short investigation and then a swift return inside.

Love my new Christmas sweater! Mila also approves although she thinks it needs more dog hair

John Lewis website says
Screenshot. Text reads "About the track: pressed on classic black 12" vinyl, and as freestyle in the John Lewis Christmas advert, Alison Limerick's 90s dance anthem 'Where Love Lives' is available exclusively on vinyl at John Lewis. Featuring brand new club-inspired artwork, Side A of the vinyl treats music fans to Alison's iconic original version of the track, still pounding with cultural resonance having been a longtime favourite of DJs around the world, while Side B presents globally acclaimed artist and producer Labrinth's beautiful, newly reimagined version of 'Where Love Lives' also featured in the Christmas Ad."

This from the other day I thought was pretty peak. I don't remember the last time I even saw a fishmonger
A screen clipping of a headline and sub-heading from the Guardian newspaper on 15 October. The text reads "Waste Not. Don't waste scallop roe: turn it into a luxury butter - recipe. When you get scallops at the fishmonger, keep the roe, because it can be turned into a luxury ingredient."

If you see this, post a pic from your device with no explanation
Tree trunks stretch up towards green leaves with blue sky just visible behind. A very large bare branch crosses the top of the picture. A black iron chandelier with five lit bulbs is suspended from the branch, bringing a warm glow to the heart of the tree

And on the furniture! Mila is jealous
A small black dog with curly hair, wearing a green harness, is lying down on a stone flagged floor surrounded by the legs of wooden chairs. She is looking away from the camera and sulking

Mila waiting for me to explain myself
A small black dog with curly hair is gazing up at the camera with large, soulful brown eyes. She wants to know why I was in the kitchen and why she wasn't included

Mila knows all about summer stickers. Getting them groomed out of her coat is her least favourite thing

Nobody ever plays with this poor dog. If she had thumbs she'd be calling the SSPCA

Reposted cos I messed up the alt text!

I saw this on the news this morning and was disgusted. McSweeney has done tremendous harm to the party's electoral chances IMO
Screenshot of part of news article. 'Some government officials are more openly contemptuous of Labour MPs than ever. One, referring to the rebels who were first elected in 2024, said: "What did they think the job was? They all think they're JFK because they delivered some leaflets while Morgan [McSweeney] won them the election."'

Here's Mila enjoying our sofa

I thought for a moment I had a proper spat on my timeline
Screenshot of two posts. First, from John Scalzi: "Just realised that one thing that makes me different from nearly every other writer I know is that I have never been stiffed or stolen from by a publisher, and I've never had to chase after anyone to get paid what I was rightfully owed. Some of that is business sense, but a whole lot of it is luck." Second, from Effin' Birds,directly above the first, reads "completely unrelated to this, the dedication in my next book is: For John, a motherfucker who owes me £74, 312"

Dunnottar Castle this morning #scotland #stonehaven #castle
A ruined castle built of grey stone standing before a shining sea under a cloudy sky tinted with pale sunrise colours. There is a central tower, mostly intact but without a roof. Other buildings in various stages of decay can be seen on either side. The castle is on an outcropping with cliffs falling into a steep-sided green valley. It looks extremely inaccessible
