Forget the Italian lakes, the twilight at Aldi car park this time of year is simply divine. Some say its even better than at Lidl - though that's a controversial view.

I saw this in a charity shop and just couldn't resist. £4, what a bargain!

Waverely station, Sunday: A choir, The Polar Express, a middle aged woman dancing down the steps in a red & white xmas onesie covered in ho ho hos and reindeers. A bearded dude in a tee shirt that said Yay! It's Jesus's Birthday, a hippyish looking Jesus in garish colours.

Psychedelic phone box, Portobello. Can you dig it? Step inside, close the door and turn on baby. What a trip!

Hope doesn’t preclude feeling sadness or frustration or anger or any other emotion that makes total sense. Hope isn’t an emotion, you know? Hope is not optimism. Hope is a discipline, we have to practice it every single day.’ Mariame Kaba, American activist & grassroots organizer

I saw this on the back of an expensive car in Edinburgh. It's very alarming that someone with the mind of a 13 year old boy is in charge of such a big and powerful vehicle.
