The Metropolitan Police Commissioner is on the radio this morning discussing the failed recent riots. He says that a number of perpetrators have been identified by their tattoos and will wake this morning to find the police on their doorstep . They will ' have their collars felt '. This is a peculiarly Victorian phrase.
We're greeted by the sight of a group of folk sploshing rather than swimming in the water below the fish restaurant. Their presence a reminder that this is the height of Scotlands brief but beautiful summer. The swimmers seem happy enough although the temperature of the sea must be 'bracing'.
The 'vibes' are back but are they enough ? :https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-democrats-new-sunny-vibes

Emotion and an anthem. The sigh at the end says it all :https://x.com/rshereme/status/1821309159733612671

89 days. The vibes are definitely different. Laughter suddenly on the agenda. And hope and joy. Who knew?
Vibrant poppies and a refreshing breeze sending ripples across the sunlit fields of barley. Eastern Scotland is the place to be right now!
The barley fields outside our house were harvested a week ago, a week earlier than usual. They're winter feed barley, whereas I'm guessing the barley beside you in prime Fife land is spring barley for malting, which has a later harvest. Unlike your sparrows, our large flock have been feasting on the barley before the harvest.

I've been enjoying watching the fields change colour over the past two weeks of pretty decent (for Scotland) weather. I've even paddled in those North Sea waves! I was contemplating another St A's run... but it's looking a bit busy. Laters... YAM xx
it's amazing that St. Andrews can expand and contract by 25,000 people with just a little planning and some new flowers! And yes, the 'vibes' are noticeably different here. There is hope in the air; and yes, joy. Laughter and energy as well.
