An angel at my bus stop. It’s been a blurry brilliant year on here, thanks to the excellent @sheena-mck.bsky.social , curator of #AlphabetChallenge #WeekYforPastYear

This thread is winning the day.

Just on that last post, for those who don’t get it, sorry but the best way to ruin a joke is to explain it.

Headline of the year.

Carnaby Street’s display this year features 60,000 LED bulbs. At least that’s what they’re telling us. I didn’t count them #alphabetchallenge #weekxforxmas

If you want to fully grasp the damage being done by Amazon Prime etc, try setting up an online offering yourseif. Since launching my charity Xmas gift shop on Contrado in aid of RNIB, I have a new awareness of how challenging delivery costs alone are, never mind the making. tinyurl.com/3wu5t9wy

I’m not sure exactly when London’s Xmas lights became an organised thing. But I’m here to tell you, there’s no need to pay £30 for a 75 minute trip. Just get on the top deck of the 139 or 159 at Selfridges. You’re welcome. #alphabetchallenge #weekxforxmas #wednesdaywindows #eastcoastkin

Great news! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Friday news. I have launched a wee charity gift shop in aid of sight-loss charity RNIB. All designs feature my abstract photos. Times are tough right now so no pressure to buy, obviously. But I would love it if you could share. I’m doing this to raise awareness too. tinyurl.com/3wu5t9wy

And speaking of bells…

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWindows Double exposure - bell window, Glasgow Central/South Bank brutalism. Part of my new project Scot-Lond.

Rest in power, pure brilliant Pam Hogg.

RIP Jimmy Cliff

Never a great idea to put your portrait subjects on a pedestal! Melinda French Gates looking very far from relaxed. www.vogue.com/article/meli...

Still love these silly signs that ScotRail put on the doors of the staff only space on their trains 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SignsonSunday #Scotland #funny

Warm and illuminating Guardian obituary for Rachel Cooke by @susannajrustin.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

An “inkvent” calendar! Best advent calendar idea ever.

The Nerve, from the OG team behind The Observer New Review, is already shaping up into something brilliant. And, unusual for a newsletter format, so creatively designed.

GRASS ROOTS AGITATION IS THE ONLY HOPE

Nails it

Despite my frustration with the BBC, it’s great to see so many voices celebrating all that’s good about it. I loved this new radio documentary about the politics of collage. Also in the series, an episode devoted to my childhood literary heroine Joan Lingard. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I present the UK’s one and only TV show about books. We feature readers & writers from across Scotland, around the UK and all over the world. It’s commissioned by BBC Scotland & made by IWC. Public broadcasting is a shared space for sharing stories & building bridges. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

When I grow up I want to be Bridget Riley (94). Her lunch with the FT is delicious in all ways.

How do they consistently manage to pick the stupidest fucking option that is available to them, every single fucking time?

Wow. The new mayor of NYC is in fact Mira Nair’s son. As in the director of the incredible Salaam Bombay. I did not know this.

And the prize for the first Xmas tree sighting of 2025 goes to… the Brunswick Centre, Bloomsbury.

Well, this is bloody depressing. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Fantastic music, and fantastic writing about music. Check out the latest offering from The Glasgow School series @monorailmusic.bsky.social

In the course of my job, I must have read (ok, skimmed) about 8,543 self help books. I’ve heard all the life hacks. And I can confidently say that buying a soup maker is a way more reliable recipe for happiness than any of them. #yourewelcome #soupology

Brilliant explanation from @sathnam.bsky.social about the many varieties of aunties (and uncles) that exist if your family hails from the subcontinent. I may have to print and hand out the next time anyone asks “wait, how is she related to you again?”

What’s it like in your head?

Fab.

Can’t beat a wee burst of brutalist autumn.
