A Bedlington whippet dog - grey, skinny, hairy - lies flat on a blue cooling mat. His expression could be interpreted as mournful, reproachful or merely spaced out.
A grey Bedlington-whippet dog is sniffing the sedum and thyme that dominates the flora of a small green roof, visible through an open door. A huge mass of jasmine and honeysuckle has enveloped the fencing on two sides of the roof. The jasmine is just flowering.
A photo taken from an upstairs window. It shows re-roofng in progress, but instead of new slates, two orange-vested men are fitting a grid of large solar panels. They are working on the eighth, there is room for four more. Slates will later be added around the edges of the roof. You can't hear from the photo, but loud cheery music is playing from a radio.
A small white carton of Minor Figures turmeric oat milk, featuring a sketch of a face wearing heart shaped shades. Beside a small, mostly blue patterned mug filled with tasty yellow milk.
A wildlife camera has captured this monochromatic video of a young fox startling, looking intently at something off camera and dashing towards it. The quality is poor. But you can see the hoops and canes of a vegetable garden.
A black and white bollard is protecting a footpath from motor traffic. It sports a large handwritten label "Desiccant silica gel. Do not eat. Throw away." No-one is falling for it.
Scribble the cat was an animated icon made of pieces of virtual paper - in a scruffy origami-ish style. It has a ruled paper torso and a purple face.
A photo of a sunlit path through open woodland in Derbyshire. A tree trunk lies straight across the path. Someone has neatly sawed a couple of chunks out of it so that the obstacle has become some steps up the slope.
A map showing the journey across northern England of a single blood donation, from Sheffield in South Yorkshire to Barrow-in-Furness' general hospital in the Lake District.

Looking uphill on a Somerset lane. Close-cropped hedges border fields on each side. There are some bare trees. The sky is very blue.
A long-nosed, grey, hairy dog rests his chin over the reindeer toy. Four small hooves stick out.
A small stuffed reindeer lies prone on a grey carpet. Its antlers, ears and tail are missing.

A clock featuring a woman, surrounded by large blue flowers, wearing flowing robes and an elaborate headpiece. She is holding a small dinosaur as though it were a large cat. Perhaps there is a little bird on her head, but I think it is part of her hat. Under the clock, a clutter of ornaments balanced on a filing cabinet. Some pebbles from Brighton beach, some animals in glass, ceramic and metal, a tiny aloe-type plant.
A grey Bedlington x Whippet dog rests on a grey fluffy bed. His neck is encircled by an enormous inflated fuzzy blue collar. He is recovering from an injury but that’s not visible.
