Sunset says trans rights.
A cloudless blue and pink sky mirroring the colours from the trans rights flag. Trans rights = human rights

Redingensian Sunset of the Day
A blue sky becomes peachy with the sun on the lower right side of the picture. There is a fair amount of wispy cirrus, and an occasional cumulus, above the skyline of Reading.

DAN: [shouting to passer-by] Excuse me, I'm in the bath! Would you mind turning around and facing the other way? PASSER-BY: No, I'd rather stay with my back to you if you don't mind.

I am having a bath but I accidentally left the door open to the bathroom and IT JUST FEELS SO WRONG.

Redingensian Sunset of the Day
A clear blue sky near the horizon and vivid red clouds near the top of frame, the tail end of a cold front coming through. It is nippy.

I've taken to sticking everything in a savings account on payday (4-weekly) then releasing a small amount to my current account which only has a piddling amount of interest anyway every week. So long as i keep track of what bills are coming out when its like being paid weekly

Daniel Peake @quizzydan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Most "regular" / full-time jobs here pay monthly - it tends to be more casual or part-time jobs that you might get paid every two weeks. I do wish I were paid fortnightly but I will take being paid at all over not!

Daniel Peake @quizzydan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I reckon society would be much happier if, when in paid employment, people were paid every two weeks, rather than once a month. Having experienced it in the past, I enjoyed only ever being a couple of weeks away from your next payday - it smoothed budgeting too. *limps along to next payday*

Redingensian Sunset of the Day: Moody
Large grey cumulus clouds loom everywhere, some rain can be seen under the base of them. Towards the top of the picture, the sky is lighter and whiter. Some yellow sky can be seen in the bottom right.

Redingensian Sunset of the Day
Very similar to yesterday. Blue sky fades to a peachy orange near the horizon, with some white wispy cirrus appearing high up in the sky

Today’s Redingensian Sunset of the Day is like a watercolour painting
A mix of dark cumulus papered with sunlit cumulus against a blue sky - the colours all feel mixed enough to be part of a watercolour painting

Pretty.
The sky is a more fiery orange near the horizon now

Redingensian Sunset of the Day
Lots of cirrus giving the appearance of thickening towards the horizon, the blue sky becomes orange as a result lower down.

Redingensian Sunset of the Day: Pause
A blue sky with high cirrus diagonally appearing on the right of the frame - and other vague pink clouds all around, with some cumulus near the bottom right. A plane contrail can be seen in the centre.

Well you should've tied them down better.
A sign in a shop, locally printed in a default word processor font on A4 paper saying “helium balloons are now upstairs”, stuck partially over a more corporate official-looking sign (red and yellow, parts of words that might be “for latest offers" visible) which has “boyesstores” in the corner, then a Facebook logo

The most ambitious crossover event in history? I think not…
A mashup of gritty urban crime sitcom Only Fools and Horses and Slow Horses called, appropriately enough, Only Fools and Slow Horses.
