One for the block list

I see the #MAGAlomaniac of America still hasn’t learned how to put on his makeup

Laughed so much...

Tea over keyboard moment...priceless!

The Tech industry needs many things, 'masculine energy’ is so far off the list it’s not even visible.

Scent is absolutely the most powerful memory trigger for me. It pulls me back to a moment in time the way nothing else can. Sometimes it's a blessing, other times it breaks me in a way nothing else can

That moment when you realise it's over 50 years since you left school... What causes it? A TV programme where @lucyworsley.bsky.social visiting what was your school and is now a museum. Not quite sure how to feel about it, though the TV programme was excellent

And finished... which makes sense if you have seen my previous post 😄

When you walk back towards a half-finished drawing and think to yourself 'That's coming together ok'...

I see the blinkers have been edited out of that photo

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind...

Well deserved

This I love

Liz Truss sends legal letter ordering Starmer to stop saying she crashed economy ‘Cease and desist’ letter accuses PM of harming her reputation and contributing to her losing her seat

One has to wonder if she is doing this to get her hands into Musk's pockets

Yes, likewise 😊

Oh no! I get mine from Sainsbury's though I think the local Tesco stocks it. It can be so hit and miss trying to get things sometimes. 😕

Merry Christmas to you and yours Mr P. Looking forward to many more good tales flowing from your pen.

That has been on my TBR list for a while, thanks for the reminder. I'll bump it up, it's not long since I read Half-Built Garden and I like to gently 'theme' a few books together as it stretches my thinking which is never a bad thing.

A HALF-BUILT GARDEN by Ruthanna Emrys (BOOK REVIEW) Today, Jonathan reviews Ruthanna Emrys's first-contact sci-fi A HALF-BUILT GARDEN: "an astounding work of science fictional imagination that demonstrates just how vital the genre can be at its best"

2/2 The Book Club discussion around it was excellent. I would recommend the review by @jonathanthornton.bsky.social (disclaimer - he's a member of our book group) fantasy-hive.co.uk/2024/11/a-ha...

1/2 It's a while since I have read a book that touches on such a wide range of current themes in a coherent whole, and is still a good read without being 'preachy'.

Probably A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys and a Book Club re-read of Christopher Priest's A Dream of Wessex. Both thought provoking, particularly the former.

I 'may' have read a fair number of books this year...

Depriving our young ones of the opportunities offered by Erasmus was one of the most wicked, heartless and shortsighted evils done by the Brexit supporters.

Taking small pleasures when it's so horrid out there... Crumpets with #Marmite Peanut Butter - stay safe people

Wise words

Good to see you here

Muting every synonym I can think of, makes me feel physically sick every time I hear that voice
