Arrived at my Reykjavik hotel at 9am expecting to dump my bags and wander till check in around 1.00. They gave me a room right away and said that since I wouldn’t be on the breakfast list (I wasn’t even meant to be here yet!) here’s a voucher to get breakfast. 🥳

08.27am and someone is playing bagpipes outside my window. Dear God I wish I’d been born in a country where they play the triangle

@nataliesfergie.bsky.social Loving The Sewing Machine! Just got to the description of the brass plaques in the old Royal Infirmary showing who had endowed the beds. Passed those same plaques on a corridor wall in the new Royal just last week 😃

In the days of lovely Twitter I often put out a call for help with research in writing my books. So here goes, Bluskiers. I'm looking for a social worker (adoption/fostering preferably) and a probation officer who worked between 2008 and 2012, the more senior the better. Please share :)

Football fans: Would you rather have a good season that tails off at the end, leaving you out of Europe? (Possibly Villa or Forest) Or have a poor season with a brilliant end that pulls you clear of the relegation zone? (Wolves)

@rsno.bsky.social Wonderful, heartrenching performance of Mozart’s Requiem tonight. Did not expect a BSL performance but (as a non Latin speaker but fluent in BSL) it gave so much meaning and emotion to the performance. Genuinely brilliant. Thank you

Trump presidents like a learner driver on their first lesson. Engine screaming, lurching to a halt, swerving erratically and stalling the engine. 🚙 Problem is, he thinks he’s Lewis fucking Hamilton 🏎️
