Lovetember 22nd. “What shall I do as my photograph today?” “Make me a cup of ginger tea and take a picture of it.” Cheeky, but it worked. #lovetember

A very rundown looking second hand shop with a couple of mobility scooters parked in front of it. Red brick and paint. Some steps to the side. The window full of random bits nobody could want.

Lovetember 7th. Why yes it does smell of wee. Why do you ask? #lovetember
An underpass of the type you see in many British towns. Decorated with entirely inept “graffiti” (it’s just angry scrawling, no-one here has any clue), you can smell the urine by just looking at the photo for long enough.

In the past, I've made a little creative exercise out of September - it's my birthday month and my name is Lovatt, so I call it Lovetember and post a photograph every day. It's kind of a joke, but it helps with creativity: making me look at things, finding a subject. Lovetember 1st. #lovetember
Lovetember 1st: A derelict box factory in the Midlands: red brick, broken windows, overgrown with buddleia and rowen in the foreground.

That is a fuckload of walruses. I just burst in on Jo and startled her by asking “What’s the most amount of walruses you can imagine in a place at one time?”
The collective noun for a LOT of walruses is “a fuckload”.
