We promised it and now we're delivering! It's January 2026 and it's time for Episode 1 of the new season of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week!' The snow delayed things a bit so now we're just going to give it to you straight up. No messing. It's THIS LIGHT! 💡

My awards eligibility post - everything I had published in 2025.

This can't be doing the stonework much good... Neighbour's vent, where the drips of moisture have frozen to long icicles on the outside of the tenement, also making a sheet of ice below, covering the whole pavement (thanks for that, neighbour). #winter #hivre #Edinburgh #Edimbourg

Still recovering at home, better but still iffy. Just about to have first proper food in over 24 hours when I heard loud shouting in the street. Turned out to be a man in a white jogging suit, clutching a bible, in middle of the road, screaming about Jesus to the surrounding apartments...

"The boy never thought it strange that his father should be a rainstorm, his mother an apple tree; it was so; that was all; and he loved the tree quite as much as if she had been a person. I am the tree's son, he thought; I am the rain child; they are both looking after me."

Head over to @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social this afternoon, 3:30PM, for Jacques Tati's much underrated classic Trafic (1971). Great fun to watch! Love the poster as well!

Very early morning GP appointment, the fun of a middle aged body never ends... Too early for work, pointless going home, so treating myself to breakfast at Project Coffee before work. #Bruntsfield #Edinburgh #Edimbourg

Bonjour, c'est la galette.

If it's not regime change, and it's certainly not "law enforcement," let's just call it a nuclear-armed oil heist.

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

Listening to the spineless Starmer wriggling frantically to say how much he respects international law while equally desperately trying not to criticise, even in the slightest, Trump attacking Venezuela , and it's reminding me very much of Sir Humphrey Appleby's calcuated non-responses

Goodnight, bookshop... #books #livres

Galette du roi time! French cake only made between end of Christmas and the start of Lent, been waiting on this! Lunchtime treat at work from La Barantine. #GaletteDuRoi #cake #gateau

Bitterly cold morning. This vent on neighbour's wall constantly drips water, now it has frozen, creating icicles and a sheet of ice right across the whole pavement, which is a bit of a hazard. Thanks, neighbour... #Edinburgh #Edimbourg
