Now, here’s a very beige colour match - golden icing (by mistake) on the cake, so banana and walnut with peanut butter in the post-gym smoothie!

Great colour combo today? Beetroot, melon and blueberries in oat milk for post-gym smoothie, matching the flowers!

Edinburgh - ‘the Athens of the north’ indeed!

The perfect match?
Beetroot and turmeric has done the trick, with melon, banana, and tofu in almond milk for post-gym smoothie and roses!

Working on colour coordination between beetroot, berry and almond milk post-gym smoothie, and orchid - need help! What’s missing do you think?

Today’s post-gym smoothie is an attempted replica of a good head on a @fyneales.bsky.social tropical beer!
Melon, beetroot, almond milk, blueberries…

Logistics of two simultaneous referendums on this island:
- voting ages may differ
- votes by migrants, emigrants, asylum seekers, (other) EU citizens
- referendum laws, protocols, rules
- campaign finance rules
- govt funding rules
- media culture and rules etc.
Who is pondering these anomalies?

Will it also apply to Ireland and the UK?

Odd to see bicycle clips as a museum piece @nationalmuseumaus.bsky.social

Hurrah, I’ve made a colourful smoothie #NoMoreBeige to match the tulips - thanks to a beetroot (don’t ask how it tastes!)
