One underappreciated aspect of Dutch urbanism is the care and attention to detail around lighting. This includes the thoughtful way buildings are lit to enhance their beauty, streets are lit to increase road and social safety, and seasonal accents are added to battle the long dark nights of winter.

If you ever get lonely, just remember that the Mars rover is programmed to sing happy birthday to itself every year.

Merry Christmas to one and all! I hope Santa is good to you tonight (and brings 3 points for The Dons on Boxing Day).

I have lost a contact lens in my eyeball. Scary.

Saturday Night's Alright. . Dundee, July 2023.

Frustrating match. Dogged defending in tough conditions. Doohan played well as did McGarry & great first half from Keskinen but can’t waste chances like Nisbet Sokler & Clarkson did tonight. Must win game at the weekend or that great start to the season starts to feel like a distant memory.

FT average position map. Real bravery to force Duk and Keskinen as high as that for the majority of the game, both did well in maintaining this to nullify Johnston/Valle in the main. McGrath also key in trying to stop balls into McGregor.

“As a manager, how pleased are you to see Dessers score two?” “I’m delighted. He’s a confidence player, and we need him firing on all cylinders. But I’m pleased with the effort of every Rangers player tonight” “Thanks Derek”

Thank you for your backing in challenging conditions this evening. We will see you back at Pittodrie this Saturday.

First pie for @bsky.app. Literally nothing Blue Sky about tonight however. 🌧️🥶

Jimmy is getting the AFC Manager glow up… #spreadingthecheer

Thank you for supporting @afcct.bsky.social Philip!!! #spreadthecheer 🥳 Who can help him reach his target for that cracking ‘tache! Also follow the Trust over here please!! Xxx

We’ve been a far stronger team after the goal and they’re very fragile with a toxic support. Let’s start the second half strongly and get a second and put this game to bed. Been too long since we’ve won here.

The sunset in Aberdeen today was pretty beautiful.

We’ve added some more accounts to our #Aberdeen All-Stars Starter Pack since we last posted about it. Check it out 👊 go.bsky.app/LBednMz

Back to the capital 🏰

Aberdeen's PPG this season of 2.46 is higher than Celtic's across last season (2.45). To reach 68pts (3rd place last season) we need a PPG of 1.44 in remaining fixtures, roughly win half, lose half of our remaining fixtures.

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!

It appears that the Scotland team are having to do their own promotion for the game on Friday. A huge game but you wouldn’t know it from the media coverage. Get along and support them at Easter Road!!#SWNT🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s a yes from me 🤗

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

Sunburn definitely not from this week at Cormack Park 😂❄️

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (19th century): one who pays great attention to trivial matters as a way of avoiding the important ones.

If you know any Dons fans in the north west, let them know about Lancashire Dons who meet the first Thursday every month in Manchester

Movember week 2, still look like I’d get concerned looks if I was to go near a school. Thanks to everyone who has donated and shared the link, it is much appreciated - link below to the justgiving for the AFC Community Trust for those who might be interested! www.justgiving.com/page/philip-...

Today we have heard the shocking news 36% of UK children are now living in poverty. Every politician should be laser focused on ending it for good. I’m joining forces with @bigissue.bsky.social in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS

Any Scots Law Starter Packs kicking about?

Second Starter Pack for AFC peeps... Some heavy hitters there too 🤣 If you want added in or removed @ me :) go.bsky.app/9bKYCyj
