Ok, it may be an edited photo, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is reality for many.

What a shot!

#COYS

1st leg of League cup semi-final, Tottenham at home to Liverpool. Bergvall shooting the ball passed a sprawling Virgil Van Dike, arms flailing, legs akimbo and a face on him of complete incomprehension and bewilderment, as the ball flies past on its way to the back of the net.

My Norwegian friend wakes up to this view from her living room window. 😍🥰

Sunrise over a Norwegian inlet. In the middle ground a barn is silhouette against the sea.

Just completed a decision making grant panel on behalf of Primark. Funding grassroots youth organisations with unrestricted grants.

A modern office meeting room, with tables in a horseshoe facing a screen. The scene is littered with papers, pens, bottles of water and laptops. Three women are seated, discussing applications on the table in front of them. A 4th woman stands talking to them.

My friend in Norway took this photo of the sunrise this morning. So beautiful I thought you'd all like to see it.

Sunrise in Norway. A line of trees are silhouetted against the night sky. A thin line of orange glows on the horizon and is reflected on an inlet of sea in the middle distance.

Another weekend of ##WindsweptWalkies
Even Paige's tongue was flapping 🤣

A forest scene with a flooded stream cascading into another. In the centre with water flowing around her stands Paige, a very wet chocolate lab x curly coat retriever. Zooming in on her face you see a big pink tongue flapping on her nose.

I know we should be happy for them but.... FFS!!

A headline announcing that one person in the UK has just won £177m in the Euro millions. Like HOW FUCKING MUCH????? No one needs that sort of money and if they do then why not me? I'd give most of it to charity, because that my job anyway. In fact I'm probably one of the most qualified people to have £177 million fucking quid. I would make so many people happy. But most of all it would make me so fucking happy. And don't come at me with that old chestnut "Money doesn't make you happy". Fuck That!! It would make me hysterically happy, I guarantee it, try me. What pisses me off even more is that I didn't realise the pot had gotten so big, so I didn't even play. I only like to play when the pot gets to over £123million because of course what's the point in playing if its less than that. So really the fact that I'm not now rolling on the floor naked on a carpet of £50 notes is all the fault of EuroMillions themselves. Where was all the fucking advertising telling me that its now worth playing their dumb game. I should sue them. And the bastard that won. But I am very happy for them. If its you DM me and I'll send you my CashApp deets.

I have NMW too!!

I'd add to that list:

- I can eat while I'm working
- Paige gets a walk in daylight

Paige, a chocolate Labrador x Curly coat retriever sits on the pavement looking up at the camera, attached to a pink lead. She is very cute and loves cuddles and rubs, but she also has a hormone imbalance which causes her to have a serious BO problem. This means that when strangers see her on her walks they often give her lots of cuddles and because she is so affectionate, she rubs up against them and tries to lick then all over.

Then as we walk away you see the huge grin on the stranger's face turn to disgust as they sniff their hands and realise they now stick of days old fish!!

But we love Paige very much.

The figure of a dog walks up a straight gravel part that extends into the horizon through the middle of a forest. Trees on either side display the colours of autumn, the ground is wet from falling rain.

Forgot the TT photo. Hope I got the ALT Text right.

I am on one knee, khaki pants and bush hat, grey t-shirt, sturdy boots. I'm in the middle of the Sala de Uyuni in Bolivia, the largest salt flats on earth. The salt flats are made up of pentagons stretching far into the distance, (I have no idea why, but clearly something sciencey is going on). Although taken at a distance and partly concealed by my hat, you can still determine the flowing shoulder length hair, captivating smile and devastatingly good looks of one so young. The sky is blue. If you are a guy, stop DMing random women who have no idea who you are. Nothing you say will be original or impressive. You're just being a pest.

Just had the incredible pleasure of A Christmas Carol at @oldvictheatre.bsky.social If you can find a ticket go. It's sumptuous, inviting and full of love and positivity. A bit like this place... but moreso.
