Morrissey’s Fridge   Morrissey was filled with sudden self-doubt, as he shut his fridge door – did the light never go out? Brian Bilston

Here’s a short poem called ‘Morrissey’s Fridge’.

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm. [Ends]

Some food in a small box

Beans, guasacaca, and an attempt at arepas in the lunch box for tomorrow 🍱

I was thinking George IV could be spectacular pedestrianised the other day. World class architecture, decent enough restaurants / cafes / bars. Crying out for it imo

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

scrawny 18-year-old about to fall out of an army helicopter over tehran: this is so epic. this is totally sigma, right babe?

A bridge with boarding over it

Bridge over the old railway on Harrison road is now completely closed (including footpath), took a few of us by surprise today cc @edi.bike!

It's great how you can undo the damage done by a big night out with a single shot of ginger juice

This looks great, although it'll be in a cargo trike so I feel like I'd want to scope it out on my two wheeler first. Thanks for this and the other suggestion, feeling like I can get there 💪🏻

South Edinburgh folks, I need to cycle my kids to Gracemount Leisure centre tomorrow. I can pop out of the hermitage on liberton brae but are any particularly safe routes you'd suggest around there?

A scene from Bob's burgers with the family in bed and Linda saying "aw, our little seal platform"

Every morning the kids climb into our bed for a bit and I always think of this line in Bob's Burgers

An old dog in the sun

Can you even fathom being this beautiful

Citrus and Diggers are such different nights out in my mind, fair play for combining them

Working on a little Edinburgh colonies style village in Tiny Glade. Idle hands etc.

Stick a Loudons in that and I'm sold 😍

Dream request: Akva reopens here

A new building development

I think new fountainbridge looks alright?? If they can get the right cafes / bars into the commercial units feels like it will be a decent place to hang out
