Bit much when Police Interceptors are on your old street

Remembering the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. Commemorating the millions in other groups who were persecuted by the Nazis, and victims of more recent genocide. #NeverAgain #HMD2025

The wonderful @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social signing a @stephenking.bsky.social book for my mate's dad. I still have it, we didn't give it to him.

Time for a beer! Happy Friday!

Happy New Year!

Oh crikey

I remembered something one of our teachers used to say, that stuck with all of us in her class "An empty vessel makes more noise" She demonstrated this by filling a tea urn with water and banging both full and empty ones with a stick. Makes sense, the noise comes from those with least to say.

Watched A View from a Hill, a BBC Ghost story from 2005. Very creepy. youtu.be/lGh0ybk-xyk?...

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?

Empty town

Doggo loves his present #HappyChristmas

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us. Because the shame has to switch sides.

"Leave it Tone" my Christmas card to Blueskyers ... Please print the image alongside the message: "Dear <insert name here>, Have a great Christmas, from Kirstie and fam, and 🐾"

Merry Christmas #Manchester

It was great to meet some of our incredible small businesses today in #Broxtowe, all are creative and very engaged business owners who really care about the community. Despite the wind and rain, we had a very warm welcome. #SmallBusinessSaturday See the thread below to find out who I met... 👇🏾

Erm, ok #spotifyUnwrapped

Serious news coming from South Korea and the news leads with Greg 'with a g' 🙄

I'm reading Girls to the Front, Sarah Marcus, story of the US Riot Grrrl revolution. Takes me back, my friends & I were kind of unknowingly adjacent to this (didn't use the term). Metal, grunge, punk & rejecting stereotypes. Great days. Who remembers Silverfish! #girlstothefront #riotgrrrl

I do that alot!

We have a new shop, Boyes. Absolute talk of the town. It's nice to see communities sharing such excitement! Apparently it sells a lot of wool and also shoes.
