- How dare HES not be 100% staffed by people who match everyone's criteria for being100% perfect, 100% of the time. How. Dare very they... Glad we have such paragons of virtue in our media setting perfect examples to keep us all in check. We are so shite, and lucky. 😒
- The impressive stepping basins of the Blackhill Locks on the Monkland Canal, Glasgow. The locks are picked put in light blue with the old Incline highlighted in dark blue. The thin blue line is the course of Molendinar Burn

- Different feel to this, reminds me of starting work in the 90s but in offices from the 70s, got that clunky-buttoned mechanical tech feel to it, like it's supported by a whole building endlessly filling and processing paper. Can... can I smoke?

- Glasgow Coat of Arms detail on James Sellars 1888 Exhibition temporary main hall that I don't think has been remarked upon since it the structure was taken down. Here's to James, delighting me all these years on, and to Glasgow on your 850th anniversary
- "Where's the waen? He's fine, he's just in the communal lavvy jawbox hingin oot the windae..." Frightening early 1900s scene shows a brick turnpike stair tower added to the rear of a pre-1860s tenement to accomodate communal toilets, each with externally mounted jawbox sink. Child for scale 🤪
