Indeed - not sure if I'd find it inspiring or depressing or possibly both.

Please note paid subscribers - I'm off on hols so the next Vector essay will be posted on the weekend of 24th/25th, and Friday Sitreps are pausing for 3 weeks. Normal service resumes from the 24th onward. I'll post a bonus Vector at the end of the month, since it's a five-weekend month.

Thankfully most of these rephrasings are a) minor and b) to avoid unintentional ambiguity etc. I have a very good copyeditor.

It’s a really nice thing that I love (among many other things) about @bloodyscotland.bsky.social

David (W) Goodman @davegoodman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Particularly pleased with mine this year. I’ve got a million pics of me grinning, but there is occasionally cause for something a bit moodier. And this fits the bill nicely. Thanks Paul! Photos copyright Paul Reich.

One of the lovely perks of appearing at @bloodyscotland.bsky.social is that you’ll be grabbed at some point over the weekend by the official festival photographer Paul Reich and get an amazing portrait done.
