Feels like the ancient profession of wuthering has entirely died out. You never see any wuthering, these days. Ask someone to wuther for you: "nah mate. We don't do that now." Go look in the Yellow Pages if you don't believe me. Or Check A Trade dot com.

The view from my classroom just before 9 am yesterday. I think every century from the seventeenth to the twenty-first is represented in there somewhere.

My wife sometimes reluctantly poses in shots for me and I didn't want to waste the opportunity of a unique view of Edinburgh with cloud building along the Forth estuary behind it.

Good god. The replies are really quite something. Are they special "well actually"-bots?

Love this C-Listed late 19th Century Villa on Maxwell Drive on the Southside of Glasgow. It's a really nice building, and a very unusual style for the city.

Quick, loose watercolour of Barclay Church on the edge of Bruntsfield Links in Edinburgh. One of many Edinburgh buildings I sketched when I first picked up watercolours. I thought I'd revisit a few with a more relaxed approach...

It's a centuries-old British trait. Instinctively, people punch down, and sneer, at the less well off, rather than wonder why people with wealth get away with so much.
Britain is by nature (C)conservative, and it's literally what conservatism is: entrenching wealth/class/privilege by design.

So much of our politics revolves around catering to the emotions of people who become furious when someone else isn't suffering as much as they think they should
The restriction on car makes in Motability is a perfect and horrible example of Government By Vibes. it saves no money, it helps absolutely nobody, all it does is makes a few cruel and angry people feel better while disadvantaging people with mobility needs.
