For #Caturday Botero’s wonderfully oversized bronze cat, Gato (1987), is a symbol of Barcelona. Botero’s work is easy to recognize by the comical way he represented anatomy in a disproportional yet visually pleasing way. #Spain 🗃️ #arthistory #art #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

Out of interest, anyone else being blocked by Smart Dublin? I am currently not, but herself and some other Nordies are. Which is not a great look. Are they being equal opportunity north and south blockers?

Ok, as you all know; Commander Riker is nude, covered in marmalade, and has airlocked himself in an attempt to “prove that Nightbird can be played without air”. I explained the situation to Captain Sisko and he closed the doors to his office while maintaining unbroken eye contact so it’s up to us!!!

Grabbing a coffee and cheese toastie at Fuckoffee before cycling into work on a hire bike has become my new favourite thing to do in London when I am down here. Just love watching people cycle by whilst I take a moment.

Yikes, the @foi.scot workload record has been smashed again. Following Aprils biggest ever number of new cases (80), May has seen another 15% increase on that to 92. We’re working flat out and are now 2/3 way through the historical backlog. Our intervention progress work is suffering though.

Logged on this evening. Saw there was a momentous fight going on in America. Saw also that Philadelphia is surely on the precipice of meltdown after two bad luzardo starts and two lost series. Logging off real fast.

Giving Department Q a go. Always weird to see Edinburgh being shot on TV and reflect on streets I have walked or cycled thousands of times. You think to yourself ‘there’s more to the place than the castle’. Then you realise you have normalised it. The feckin huge castle in the middle of the city.
