Brilliant.

Worth sharing with alt text. Brian Eno's response to the Quaker arrests.

Got married to Roberta Flack’s version of ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’. Some voice, so heartfelt, such a loss. RIP

Current rogue states: Russia, North Korea, Mar-a-Lago…

Never seen one this big before!

Load of fences in the area down, aerials broken, garden furniture on walkabout, but Storm Éowyn did drop off a bunch of cowering balloons as a belated gift, so not all bad!

We can laugh (or cry) all we want at the state of politics across the pond but the ridiculous strokes being pulled by our lot just make us seem like a toy town in comparison.

When I woke up this morning I had a message from my niece in England asking me to go to "cherry tomato bridge", which is apparently a thing on TikTok. So I did. There are tomatoes on it, and ketchup, presumably offerings to the tomato god. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Was Ireland involved? Of course it was.

Good, though I’m surprised that twenty years is the maximum?

Delighted to see Notre Dame rebuilt on schedule but it's a real shame that Glasgow School of Art couldn't get the same love.

This by the way is my most unpopular opinion. It's the opinion that if I ever state it people look at me like they suddenly think I'm a conspiracy theorist

This is the best news story of all time and yet it seems no-one has even heard of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Just realised that header pic gives the idea I’m an inveterate drinker! It was in Lanzarote… I was told to go there… I was on holiday!

Okay, that is my face now. If you’re wondering why it’s a bit hairy and haggard it was taken during lockdown a few years back. You do remember lockdown don’t you? Anyway, It’ll do till I can find a better one.

Oh yeah, that’s not my face. Just a sketch I did a good few years back that I found on my phone. I still haven’t connected my photos app to the cloud. Also, it’s not a good day to take selfies - not sure it ever is. I’ll update it at some stage! :-)

What do they call posts here anyway? Posts, tweets (I think that’s available now), rumbles? Anyway, whichever it is, my first one has a spelling error in it. Sorry! Guess that’s how it’s going to be now.

Thought I’d already posted here, obviously not. Not sure if I’ll be a long-teem resident or not but willing to give it a try.
