I'm very surprised that BBC correspondent Sarah Smith chose to feature a Trump supporter in her report tonight.

German class tonight. We have a new textbook which is titled as either a hope or a command. Being Germanic in nature I think it's the latter. πŸ˜„

The fire in Glasgow has been awful but this little piece of engagement on threads really had me bark out loud

Yep. It's off our list of day trips at the moment.

I'm confused to hear the Glasgow fire being described as the former Forsyth's department store. Forsyth's was in the building at the corner of Gordon St and Renfield St.

I see that Trump's having a normal press conference right now.

It's been a bad morning. I paid for parking using the Ringo app, but for the street parallel to the one we were in. πŸ™„ More happily, the blossom is almost fully out on our front hedge.

Interesting. I keep thinking about an EV but have a low mileage 10yo car and the production CO2e for a new EV is what stops me.

AI image generation can get in the bin permanently. It's made us all more stupid.

You must. It's an excellent book, filled with detail and grim humour. Speculative of course, but great fun.

Just checked. It was 2011. How time flies.

We've also lost some political heritage. That building contained the Subway shop that Iain Gray ran into when Sean Clerkin hounded him through Central Station in 2014.

Horrifying. That view down Renfield St has been the backdrop to so much.

We've just seen the replay of that Paisley penalty where the ball hits Crawford's foot. Here's the ruling...

Nobody is looking for a penalty there apart from the VAR team
