@artleuk.bsky.social Wednesday 4s for us

We saw this restaurant in Plymouth yesterday and quick as a flash my son said “It’s not surf and turf… it’s boeuf and l’oeuf!”.

Looking forward to meeting up with brilliant artist Paul Digby today in Leeds to discuss our exhibition on Fish and Chip shops which is forthcoming at Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre. So of course we’ll have fish and chips on Leeds Market! Twice oppen wi’ bits on!

🤘😜🤘 - Beat It! I rocked DISCOVR: 5/36 discovr.uk

Early stroll. A pair of plastic gloves jazz-handing the pavement. Those flowers seem to explode from that pot. Three triangles of abandoned toast. A crow seems to be waiting for the bakery to open. From a distance that full white carrier bag looks like a giant skull.

The shopkeeper’s husband drops her off; we exchange thumbs-up as he drives away. I carry the papers in. The Bloke With Two Dogs counts out his change. The almost comedic bluntness of the scissors I cut the bands with.

Looking forward to Red River Valley from @imcmillan.bsky.social, stay tuned for more information from your friendly, local* bookshop. Or beat the rush and pre-order now! *If you live near tarn

All you can do with the right-wing press is ignore it and get on with the job. Never try to appease these ghouls and their sundowning readership. They’re the people who thought Liz Truss was a good idea

Andrew and Tristan Tate were just denied bail. They will be remanded to a Florida detention center while their extradition proceedings continue. #TrumpSwamp

And this morning the Shed is a secret scroll of parchment, covered in hieroglyphs…

@wokinghamgreens.bsky.social @wokinghamlabour.bsky.social Regarding proposed TVP data centre 👇

This reader-friendly but phonetically misleading convention survives in modern English, which is why words such as come, some, monk, honey, and love are spelled with an o, despite their pronunciations. [3/3]

WORD FACT The “minim” is a short vertical stroke used in handwriting. In Gothic scripts, many letters — such as m, n, and u — were made up of minims joined by fine connecting strokes. As a result, words like minimum could appear as a confusing row of vertical lines. [1/3]

😖🤬😭 - I'm a loser baby... I crashed out of DISCOVR: XXX! discovr.uk

@artleuk.bsky.social Tuesday 1 for Jo. 4 for me.

Early stroll. Light’s grip seems to tighten. A pigeon shows off by flying away. A faint wafting scent of bacon. Two buses pass, going to NOT IN SERVICE; I’ve been there. Ripe blackberries punctuate a hedge.

At the shop I open the box and get the papers out. The shopkeeper arrives. The Bloke With The Dog arrives. The Bloke With Two Dogs arrives. A workman arrives. It’s like the first scene of a contemporary opera. I might write it one day.

Wondering if we might be lucky enough to get a Culture Secretary who likes museums and wants them to succeed.

@artleuk.bsky.social Monday 2s for us

🤘😜🤘 - Beat It! I rocked DISCOVR: 3/36 discovr.uk

Early stroll. I am carrying an apple and a birthday card. The faintest whisper of drizzle. A white van reversing like a time machine. That dropped ice cream could be a photorealist painting. A rainbow’s hopeful bridge.

The shop is open when I arrive. I carry the papers in and the shopkeeper closes the metal lid of the box. I snip the bands with the blunt scissors. The Bloke With The Dog comes in and buys apples and oranges.

@artleuk.bsky.social Sunday 3 for Jo. 5 for me. Should have done better!

Do you know ‘Everyday Sunshine’ ? Its a cafe/design/community hub there. Amazing woman called Abi Meats and her partner Rupert run it. I think you would enjoy the exuberance

MornIan Sweetpea’s coming home

🤘😜🤘 - Beat It! I rocked DISCOVR: 3/36 discovr.uk

Early stroll. A cloud like a hand-knitted scarf stretched across the sky. I don’t mean to, but I startle a blackbird. Full moon of a dropped beermat. A plastic ruler broken into three pieces. Eight bourbon biscuits wait in a bus shelter.

I get the papers out of the box. She shopkeeper arrives. She says she’s forgotten her keys and had to go back for them. She tries the keys. None of them work. She rings her colleague and I don’t catch what he says but she tries them again and they work.

Off to Darfield Library to change my books; local libraries staffed by trained librarians are the heart of every community. Long may they thrive!

The late Lindsey Graham changed Donald Trump’s politics far less than Mr Trump changed his. And in his bid to promote democracy abroad, he helped corrode it at home

It's a what in where?! It's today's artle.uk, a mostly obscured work of art for you to guess the identity of in six attempts or fewer - more to see with each guess. #artle

A fairly steamy scene greets visitors to artle.uk today, see if you can identify it in six guesses or fewer. #artle
