@iandunt.bsky.social just listened again to the Macron episode of @originstorypodcast.bsky.social. Given how much Macron relied on Merkel for her different personality to drive through deals, are we saying Starmer is the new Merkel?

End times in North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #nofilter #llandudno #stormy

No idea how this drift wood rammed into the sand is managing to stay up in the N Wales wind.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social just listening to Sunday School. Good stuff. The levels on the shopify ad are very very low. Admittedly listening through earphones but could barely hear a word of it in traffic.

@matteveritt.bsky.social I'm contemplating buying some merch from Regent Sounds - this pic has really sealed the deal for me. www.regentsounds.com/products/reg...

@justinhawkins.ridesagain.com can’t help seeing this as anything other than throwing the gauntlet squarely at your feet! www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckin...

@samvangeffen.bsky.social ……anyway, Spicy food with French alcohol boy rejected along with 2 donuts (8 letters) 🧐

@samvangeffen.bsky.social is it you this AM Sam? If it is, I started giving you the telegraph clue but realised my fader wasn’t up. 🤨

Snow zoomies. #dogs #snow #ragnar #wirehairedvizsla

Feed me fat man, FEED ME! #dogs #vizsla #wirehairedvizsla #ragnar

It’s about this time of the day, every year, when I think back to Julie Walters trying to defrost a turkey in the bath in the first series of Adrian Mole. #memories #turkey

F&@k yes, @theduncanmackay.bsky.social Thank you for the Xmas present idea! My family, slightly less thankful. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas. See you on the Watling Street.

Even the telegraph crossword has it in for you, @celiarichardson.bsky.social

I was trying to take the rest of the family decorating the tree!

I've written about what dying typically looks like - not as a 'pro' or 'anti' AD piece, but in the spirit of confronting a taboo. We've lost the easy familiarity with the patterns of dying that existed when death typically occurred in people’s own homes. Let's talk about it 🙏 @newstatesman.com

@drdaveatkinson.bsky.social hey prof. How’s it going?

Tell me you’re a 51 year old male dog owner without actually telling me.

Wonderful @originstorypodcast.bsky.social double header about the BBC. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll rejoice that they didn’t return to Brexit despite the trail at the end of episode 1. @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social bringing the information, education and entertainment.

Oh @gordoncorera.bsky.social you kept that quiet (or perhaps I missed the email). Good luck with everything. There had better be pigeons in the new pod!

@theduncanmackay.bsky.social I’ve read the book. I’ve visited Colchester, I’m now listening to the audiobook (which is excellent btw). I’m all in. But where, oh where, can I get the decent Caligae you mention?

I have fed him, I really have!

SNOW! or more appropriately SLUSH!

Even vikings need bathrobes when it’s a bit wet. #Ragnar

First post. The dog chewing. More to come.
