Dusk settles on The Shore at Leith. #photography #Leith #Pixel9Pro

It's always fun to photograph Waverley Station at night from outside the National Galleries of Scotland. I sacrificed a tiny bit of detail to darken the sky in this edit. #Edinburgh #Photography #Pixel9Pro

I forgot to share some photos from last week's Angine de Poitrine gig at the O2 in Glasgow. I was in the upper balcony, so photos aren't great, but it was amazing to finally see the Poitrine brothers live. #AngineDePoitrine

According to Google the Robert Burns statue at the foot of Leith's Constitution Street is currently 'closed' and doesn't 'open' again until 10 am on Thursday!

I love these new Angine de Poitrine photos from Dustin Rabin to accompany their 2027 tour announcement. ✋🔺🤚#AngineDePoitrine

The opening titles for season 1 of Human Target, with stirring music from @bearmccreary.bsky.social, are underrated. youtu.be/Y_xFMyhBYx8?...

I've never heard a better case nominative determinism than a sound designer called David Crackles! In Derren Brown's BBC podcast about Harry Houdini you can hear the slight uplift in his voice when he says the name.

A rainy night in Glasgow city centre. Taken on my way back from seeing Angine de Poitrine at the O2 Academy. I'm a sucker for a wet reflection photo opportunity! #Glasgow #photography

I had a walk round Edinburgh city centre today. I remember when Victoria Street was a quaint street with interesting shops and places to eat and drink. These days it feels like part of a theme park. Grim.

Watching Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness last week made me think that Sam Raimi would be a good director for a re-make/meta sequel to The Asphyx, tag line: 'More than a myth, more than a maybe'. youtu.be/qXahqEvXOs0?...

There's a rather excellent tall ship, the Statsraad Lehmkuhl, docked at Leith at the moment. Bonus big yellow wind turbine things in the background. #Leith #StatsraadLehmkuhl

After countless attempts at getting a password reset for ScotRail, necessary due to a new app, I gave up and set up a new account with a different email address. A very frustrating experience.

Wow, 28p saved again last month. 🙄

I asked my drummer friend if he'd ever met any of his drumming heroes. His answer: "Oh Aye!!! Met Neil Peart. When I about 11 years old". Me: 😮 Very cool!!

I treated myself to some useful, but budget friendly, guitar stuff. Cheaper than a fancy new amp!

I've had a very uncharacteristic headache for a large part of the day, I'm not a fan.

I enjoyed Loki more on a second viewing. I think the show works better without having to wait between episodes. #Loki

I think I'll be giving Digger a miss. Based on reviews my instincts on watching the trailers appears to have been borne out.

Watching A House Through Time and I wanted a better look at one of the photographs taken by Archibald Burns in February 1871 of the Edinburgh slum clearances. It's a good photograph but it's amazing that you can zoom in and see the detail of the notice about The Edinburgh Improvement Act so clearly.

I enjoyed a guided walk around Warriston Cemetery this afternoon for Open Doors day.

I had one last visit to Tapa this evening before it closes. I hope another food business takes on the property next because it's a great dining space.

Ben Stiller is an absolute master at committing to the bit. See also some of his excellent Oscar presenting skits. youtu.be/XrTuYsldHdk?...

'I'm not guilty of the act I recorded myself doing'. What a prick. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I've never seen Rory Kinnear looking more like his dad.

Sad news that one of my favourite places to eat in Leith, Tapa, is closing for good on 3 October. I've enjoyed a lot of great food there over the years.

Happy Earth, Wind & Fire day to those who celebrate it! youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?...

I'm tired and at first glance misread this as 'Chegger's Resident Evil earns praise'. A kid's TV show being overrun by people infected by the T-virus would probably be pretty scary.

You can always rely on The Grauniad for a typo. 'hris Coons'.

A little disappointed to learn that the TVA was digital and not a matte painting. I know most people don't care, but I love a well-crafted matte.

After watching Avengers: Endgame (I'd forgotten how emotional it is) this evening, I've gone straight on to Loki. Loki feels different to other MCU TV shows; it seems to have a little more heft to it that some other shows lack. #AvengersDoomsday

I knew that Angine de Poitrine were making their US TV debut on The Tonight Show but getting a brand new track, Zugzegk, was a bonus! #AngineDePoitrine youtu.be/38rvtcwhuw4?...

It's not often someone I knew gets an obituary in The Guardian. I didn't know Ally as well as some folk, but that didn't seem to matter. He always had time for a chat and a laugh, often with a generous Long Island iced tea, any time I saw him in The Village. RIP. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Very disappointing to see a local business using what looks like an AI Computer Rendered Artificial Picture to illustrate their food offerings.

I don't know if there's signage up but I see the name of the place has now changed to the Westfield St James Quarter. I bet a large proportion of Edinburgh residents still call it the St James Centre!

I always enjoy a good pun. Spotted in Aldi, Pie Sports. ⚽#PieSports

Big whoop.

I don't know where the notion that wearing a kilt if you're not Scottish is some kind of cultural appropriation came from. Nobody cares, have at it! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

After seeing the final trailer for Digger I'm still not sold on it. If the film is supposed to have an 'off' vibe then it looks like it's succeeding in spades. #Digger

Very odd how Trump spells 'dumocrats' without a 'b', given that he keeps banging on about how not a lot of people know that there's a 'b' in dumb. Of course, everyone knows how dumb is spelt. Trump himself only recently learnt this information and, for some reason, feels the need to evangelise.

I hate how the BBC reports ongoing stories. Just give me an article I can read, update it occasionally. I find stories with live updates like this very difficult to engage with.

I finally made it to The Keelson on The Shore today. The rotisserie chicken was great. Great service and atmosphere too. I probably bored the poor waiting staff with my acoustic panels chat!

Pathetic losers, every one of them. All insecure men of course. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
