Not sure what this one is. I should have paid more attention to its surrounds, but I was seduced by its perfect plumpness 😬 Duddingston #Edinburgh #FungiFriends

Have a horrible feeling the stage is set for loads of Brits to blind themselves today. Silly season making it a big news item. No glasses anywhere. People more scornful of authority than they've ever been. The ultimate finger in the eye to woke health and safety culture: your own eye.

Imagine if France have set themselves a challenge. "Un jeu". To not play in the first half and then see if they can still win in the second half. Ridiculous idea. Forget I said it.

Friends of Warriston Cemetery @fowarristoncem.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
I'm delighted to reveal that Warriston Cemetery was just used as a location for the Netflix series Dept.Q. We tried to keep it quiet so filming could happen without too much attention.The Blackmoor structure is entirely fake but beautifully made; the"stone" is indistinguishable from the real stuff.

My TickCard repurposed this morning as a toadlet elevator, lifting toadlets off the road and safely into the grass 🥰 Between us, @elainebradley.bsky.social and I elevated over 4500 toadlets! With wider shot for scale. (The TickCard is the size of a credit card) #Edinburgh #ToadPatrol

More 10-year-olds say they want puppies than parents do. What's behind the divide?
