The top right corner of the book I’m currently reading
#MSDyn365BC screen shot showing a process message saying “working on it”
A message from O2 telling me there’s maintenance in my area that will be fixed by <Day Month Year>
Legendary DJ and champion of the obscure and odd, John Peel
A picture of sunlight backlighting yellow autumn sycamore leaves. A quote overlays the image in an ornate cursive font. It reads, “Try not to hate yourself even though you’re worthless “
A highlighted quote from Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, saying, “People want more AI native biz apps right?”
A sheet of chipboard lies on the pavement with the words “XMAS TREES” spray painted on it. An arrow is also painted on it. The arrow points to a supermarket trolley lying next to the sign.
Our tuxedo tom cat, Noodles, with a big red scratch on his nose.
A clearly fake account for the actress Selena Gomez. Features the ludicrous phrase “began me career as a child actress”
Baffling Christmas cracker joke: What kind of cough medicine does Dracula take? Answer: Con medicine.
Faked up inspirational quote style picture of mountains rising out of a lake. The text says “Was it DNS again? Yes. Yes it was.”
The Perren/Anderson Christmas tree before the carnage!
Lotta the golden labradoodle looking quizzically at the camera. The look is compounded by the slight quirk in her left ear which is making the big floppy pice of hairy rag stick out sideways.
1970s dimple style pint glass tankard
Gravestone in Warriston Cemetery, Edinburgh. Easily 7 or 8 metres tall. It’s a huge stone cross covered in Celtic knot work. It’s a lovely thing but the price would have fed a couple of hundred people for a year.
Edinburgh bin collection calendar showing bin collections on Christmas and New Year’s Eve
BBC news headline “What are Royal Christmas cards trying to tell us?” Illustrated by a picture of a happy looking family who also happen to be royal.
Cover of a 1962 edition of “Box of Delights” by John Masefield.
A picture of the main doors at Celtic Park in Glasgow
A beautiful statue of a doe and faun. Both have huge googly eyes.

Big stupid hairy blond labradoodle
Black and white cat
Duo the Duolingo owl emerging from a hole in the ground for some reason, in order to cheerfully announce “You made 364 mistakes this year.”
A large alcove in which one corner is floor to ceiling bookcases and in the other a desk with two laptops and two monitors. A large, comfortable office chair sits in the middle with a pale blue blanket draped over the back.
A thick layer of grey slush neither freezing nor melting in the street outside our house. Car tracks cut through it emphasising how thick and unpleasant it is
Screen shot of Business Central starter pack with three feeds showing as being included.
Christmas lights box. It ought to say “Flickering lights” but, because of a horrible kerning error, it appears to read “fuckering lights”
Computer screen showing the update message “you’re 8% there”
A search for “dara o briain” showing no results.
Screen shoot from BBC News showing a picture of Elbow Munk, mouth agape, wearing a baseball cap (of all things), and double punching the air like some dainty child pretending to like sport. The headline reads, “Musk promises to ’Make government fun again’”
The Duolingo icon with the words “last chance!” It shows the owl standing in front of a house that is on fire.
Lotta the blond shaggy labradoodle uncomfortably sitting halfway up the stairs. She looks nervous and unhappy.
The last four letters of the huge “Edinburgh” sign at Edinburgh Airport
Lotta the labradoodle is absolutely FILTHY.
A crude human figure made of sticks - literally a stick figure - hangs from a branch suspended by a rope made from dead ivy. A smaller figure hangs behind. The rising sun is just visible in the background, through the last leaves on the trees.
Iconic UK new music DJ John Peel. He was famous for featuring obscure and sometimes barely listenable bands on his weekday late evening show on BBC Radio 1. It was awesome.
Bôa performing “Drinking” at SW3G Glasgow whilst the audience waves their mobile phone torches in time to the music much as I (a 60 year old) might have done with a cigarette lighter back in the day.
Trees sporting autumn leaves framing a blue blue sky and a few wispy white clouds.
Post from threads that reads, “What is the name for the amount ofenergy it takes to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius?”
Email from Edinburgh Airport Parking that says, with undue enthusiasm, “Tell us about your stay!” Exclamation mark and everything.
Aurora Borealis display with bright red fading through yellow to green
Last Dinner Party at the O2 in Glasgow
Screenshot of the bbc weather app showing the current weather in Newhaven in Edinburgh. There is a full sun and the words “Hurricane Force Winds”. The wind speed is 17164 mph
Blue Austin Princess, looking in profile remarkably like a shitty Tesla cybertruck.
