Transatlantic sequin mule, mum in black, and time lady. Once obsessed with Eurovision, but now? Pining for Canada. Old enough to have visited Leningrad. Lives on Premise Beach. She/her.

Argh cannot remember which painter was which. Trees and snow top painting. Roofs with snow middle painting. Night time silhouette with the big dipper bottom
A photo of Crocs Tim Hortons jibbitz. Donuts. Timbits. A moose. All very brown themed. But also epic. The Tim Hortons sign flashes.
Chinatown Canadiana tshirt with a loose homage to Pokemon (moosemon). Super alarming bear thing (kodiattack, a yellow moose pikachu bastard child pikamoose and what the fuckery gigahumpy which is I do not know what) fish horror show
A tree trunk. I dunno? Taking up half the shot. Manicured grass in the background. A black squirrel half way up showing just his head and shoulders. There is a recriminating look in his eye. I did not bring snacks.
Rush looking the 2112est era. Awful awful white tight pants. Misguided kimonos. Early 70s rock.
Screen grab of Robert Harris from Instagram - some how to academy catering to Roman Empire men babies Augustus, Agrippa & the birth of the Roman Empire - the rest of the photo I would say is self explanatory.
Screen grab from Sky and telescope magazine website. It’s the cosmic bat nebula. It’s a dark nebula. It looks fuzzy and cute yet terrifying against a backdrop of the universe. Apparently it’s a 12 light year wide cloud. I want it so bad.
Photo of a teenager in silhouette sitting cross legged in the left of the photo in front of a giant aquarium tank full of rays, fish and sharks at den blå planet
Not particularly picturesque view of Berlin but quite mitte … the brachiosaurus is sleeping just across the road. Trees in the evening sunlight. Edge of a balcony. Calm evening sky. Probably a hooded crow flying top and centre.
The Berlin Olympic stadium. Blue sky. Shitty view of the stage. People milling. German punk banners. A plastic die toten hosen ‘until the bitter end’ cup.
A relief of a very derpy lion in Neues museum Berlin. Is he Assyrian? I couldn’t linger so I couldn’t do full investigation. He is very derpy. He has Assyrian style stars all over his body and a crescent around his neck. I want him very much.
Guardian headline Birdsong data from Merlin ID app to help global biodiversity project with a photo of a chiffchaff (of course it’s a chiffchaff those motherfuckers are everywhere nowadays … apart from when it’s my bird of the day of course. )
Wedding table. Pokeballs (knock off obv). Flowers. Menu which includes Gulab Jambu Amrutpak Dahi Vada Matar Paneer Rajma Sweetcorn Shak Matar Rice Tarka Daal Puri Pickles Far Far Drinks Chaas Plus some Indian attired meowth, pikachu, jiggly puff, squirtle, bulbasaur and charmander
Colour photo of Canadian snacks on a weathered pub garden table, umbrella post just seen. Orange box of 350g of Canadian celebration maple leaf-shaped maple cookies and blue box containing 200g of Canadian finest KD original featuring an unearthly golden glow of Mac on a fork.
Textbook seminary building Yorkshire style at night. Pointy dome in centre. Big wings either side. Arched windows blazing with light. Formal grounds in the front.
A pot of trachelospermum jasminoides - star (ish) shaped flowers and waxy green pointed leaves - with some petunias on a green metal chair and a very nice brick wall in the back ground. I love my brick wall.
Middle aged white woman wearing an OVS ball cap that states high caffeine. Green kneeler pad, black tshirt and brown pants. Orange no cut work gloves. Dusty brush in hand with a Roman tile maybe visible. Other archaeology knickknackery around. A younger woman and a spoil heap in the background.
My dad. Irish, 80, sitting on a beige sofa looking super cool in 3/4 profile with a ponytail, some dark frame glasses, hearing aid box on his lap, holding a Canada mug. Verrrry classy liberty metal lampshade in the background.
A photo of the spiral staircase at Monument looking up. Yes it’s pleasing how it replicates patterns in nature but also it’s some effing stairs. iPhone tried to match it to an insect or an African clawed frog. Clearly ai image interpretation has a big railings and rails blind spot.
Trees in spring growth above water with 8 little egrets hanging out amongst the branches.
Hampton Court palace looking beautiful with disco ball sparkles. Video showing side view of Bas Warne panning out to also include the inimitable Jean Jacques Burnel.
Hampton court palace looking all palace-y. Red brick and crenellations, chimneys and a flag). Old. Very very uncomfortable grey folding chairs cable tied together (now I see why you could rent a cushion for FOUR POUNDS?????), some castley flag stones and some slightly disoriented stranglers fans milling around.
Dollarama Canadian rain poncho packaging - such cool posturing, makes the stranglers look like total wusses with the power stance of the guy and a mysterious aloof female presence. Big red maple leaf. The rain cloud is happy *and* winking … one size fits all.
The stranglers - meninplastic - all looking a bit awkward wearing what is (I can only assume) a cheap plastic dust sheet with head holes cut for Dave, JJ and Hugh. Jet Black obviously not going for any of that nonsense.
Screen grab from Duolingo. No words for how much I hate the fucking app. 60 quest points required - why not 50 you owly shithead. Listen to 7 exercises to win a chest that is just going to be 1.5 xp for 10 mins or a pile of gems that land like a pile of blue poo. Earn 50xp - whatever. Tap tap tap honestly fuck the ‘epic’ chest. It’s not epic. It’s rubbish. And the dreaded spend 15 minutes “learning”. The only positive thing to say about it is it’s not 20 minutes. And I can’t earn suit points anymore. Not that I wanted to bc they all looked stupid anyway but it’s just another emblem of how annoying and inconsistent the whole app is. Don’t even get me started on the actual content …
Minute long video of Jeff Goldblum, his Mildred Snitzer orchestra and Khailah Johnson covering Tattoo by Loreen in the very intimate Circuit venue at a Banquet Records concert - all the jazz shenanigan instruments.
A very sparse crowd shot with some dry ice, lights, audience (not that many … I haven’t been to such a poorly attended gig since Saxon in the late 80s) and some mic stands in the o2 academy Leeds
Google search result for ‘annoying prefab sprout song chords’ I hate this song so badly. Even more than I hate come on Eileen and it turns out i may have to hear it live tonight
The derpiest wolf ever. Mosaic bc derpy wolves look best in mosaic. White eyes, a yellow nose, red lips and very toothy teeth. Pale sand-coloured background. She lives in the Leeds City Museum. I love her a lot and honestly why isn’t she on her own fridge magnet. She may be suckling Romulus and Remus (out of shot)
A photo taken in Kungsträdgården Stockholm, trees and blossom in the background. An alarmingly nude bodysuited man in a blond wig with two very happy wolves. Two alarmed yet smiling white women. Pints of beer and water on the table in front. It was effing freezing so top marks for "Ivan's" dedication.

Scrubby little patch of wild garlic, long pointy leaves, white flowers looking a bit like tired pom poms. Concrete in the background, patchy grass in the foreground.
Screen grab of Merlin app showing 4 birds, chiffchaff, house sparrow, wren, and ‘common’ nightingale
A morning florentine sky. View from the terrace of the Uffizi. Restaurant umbrellas still closed as it’s not open yet. Blue sky peeping with light clouds. Lots of swifts. 80?
De rigeur pilgrimage for stranglers fans - a landed Viking ship on a bed of pebbles. Yellow dragon head. Shields and oars. So glad Hugin’s Viking boat cover was off. Good looking grey but illuminated sky in the background. Sea out of sight
Grubby cliffs, murky sea, overgrown carparks and columns. Grey clouds with some patchy blue sky. Scrubby trees.
Previous photo. Front view of the Hugin Viking ship near Ramsgate. Basically in silhouette with a hazy sun in the top left, lots of wispy clouds. Lots of oars. It’s a Viking ship. You can’t really see the head of the boat.
Why yes I will take any opportunity to post a photo of the sexiest person ever to live. Bass god JJ Burnel looking mildly wistful on stage at L’Olympia in Paris. I assume it’s Always the Sun based on the lighting. In a suit because it’s the 50 year tour.
A derpy carved dino (I assume?) looking weary and droopy at the bottom of an arched multicoloured stone window at the natural history museum in London
Album cover of soft cell non stop erotic cabaret. A study in 80s neon lights and leather with Marc Almond owning a brown-packaged sleaze and David Ball slightly like he had wandered onto the wrong album cover. Ah Leeds poly. So much to answer for.
Photo of an egret. White. Flooffy. Standing on a log on the water’s edge. Black legs leading to some very satisfying big yellow feet.
Screen grab of an absolute nonsense of a headline on Sky news website. Analysis: we’ll all feel the pain if economic doomsday scenario unfolds with a picture of a giant oil fire at night.
Shitty (on my part for sure) Italian Duolingo conversation with Lily where she tells me her favourite band is MANESKIN?? Too soon.
Photo of Baz Warne on the tidy little storage at the Brudenell (black brick work painted with Welcome to the Brudenell). Baldie, 60 something, Baz is holding an acoustic guitar and looking convivial as he points at the audience, he is wearing mostly black. Most of the heads in the audience are bald. Yes there was an interval so old people could go for a wee and get another pint in.
A very faint ghostly tv tower on the far left of a shot of overcast England. Green field in foreground. Bare stand of trees and houses to the right. The moors doing a mild insulate in the background with a grey sky.

A view in the John Soane museum from behind his bust looking toward a Roman statue. Four arches. Glass dome above casting light down. Lots of pots. Lots of Roman and other classy shite. People suitably boggled.
screengrab from amazon prime (sorry) of three VERY EVIL ROBOT TEACHERS from the stone cold classic Class of 1999. Malcolm McDowell, Pam Grier. EVIL ROBOT TEACHERS. What more could you want. To be fair to alt text spirit, an old grumpy teacher in a beanie in a hat, Pam Grier in the centre looking 90s and beautiful and evil, and an obvious lump of a PE teacher in a futeristing check grey suit with no lapels cos it's the future. They are walking in front of a dystopian chainlink fence. The text says 'The time is in the future and the youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools will have become "free-fire zones" into which not even the police will venture. When Miles Langford, the he...' It's only a 15. Horror, Science Fiction. IMDB rating 5.9/10 (harsh)
It’s a Scottish wildcat. It is looking focused but pissed on a patch of grass. Good whiskers.
A close up of a can of uk Molson Canadian on an oak table with uk home chaos in the background
A brown striped envelope addressed to Madame Laragh in Angleterre from fabled transportation firm Norbert Dentressengle. October 1993 so would have been a mme. But just look at the logo on the yellow franking label. ND red. Gorgeous.
Inscribed title page with a picture of a very happy puffer fish. 291 extraordinary things you didn’t know about the sea.
A child stick drawing of a circle of fire and a far too happy looking woman. Green shoes though.
