Enjoy this cherry blossom in Teddington
The screen is filled with a cherry blossom tree in full flower. The sun is shining and the sky is a deep cerulean blue. Sadly there is also a bit of some dull road in Teddington but you can't have everything

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

Had a super weekend with @arbitrarygenius.bsky.social - amazing food at Afghan restaurant Mezbaan in Milton Keynes (pics attached)! Watched eps of Pokerface. Ate challah. 0 points for Stagecoach buses who are running a very shabby schedule indeed on the X5 route.
