Decided to follow you but worry you seem such a wimp in the coffee department. Good job my preferred beverage is a mug of tea. Unless it’s a cold(er) drink then I’ll have a glass of wine.

Yes very good point. No one- no matter how high a position they hold, should be taking work calls at bed time or indeed after they be done a normal 8 hour day. Shame on you Martin. You set a bad example and you’re really such a great role model for the average worker.

All berry interesting but I’ll not change my berry long lived dislike of bananas whether they originate from a seed or a berry big bouquet.

So maybe we should be celebrating the beginning of the bus service! Maybe if we’d discovered the combustion engine earlier we would have had no need for buses!!

Just sobbed my way through bbc program on the killer of three young girls 6, 7 and 9 years old in Southport in Uk in July 2024. Heartbreaking; young man, 17 then, attacks girls during Taylor Swift event. Huge trauma here which led to country wide attacks on Muslim communities. He was born in UK.

Same here for past six months, but don’t you ever crave momentarily at certain times, after a meal, with a drink, when you’re stressed…but we don’t give way. That’s why it must be really hell for more dangerous addictions like opiates, alcohol. I really think they are champions to kick their habits.

Delighted to meet another oldie on here. Sometimes I think blueskyers seem to regard me as an alien from another planet. Such is their apparent interest in e. Apologies to the favoured few who acknowledge my presence. Anyway welcome to a new world Marc. As for recall… ermm…what was the question?

I’ve been told the opposite from a doctor here in UK.!America is a litigious society and is the reason why unnecessary tests and treatments is the usual practice. Docs are terrified of being sued by disgruntled patients. I expect this doesn’t apply to treatment of the poor and uninsured.

Today's inspirational message:

That’s an area that Mush should look at.The US spends more on health care than any other country in the world per capita. Has lowest survival rates. The poor suffer most and have the poorest health. The middle class are often driven to bankruptcy or worse. It’s crazy and immoral to monetise health.

I think everyone in the US should write to Lone Mush explaining what we’ve done in past week. Think how long it will take to read and digest every action. Might make him see sense.

Couldn’t they be fitted some kind of digital thingy which automatically joins the pairs after washing, thus saving us hours of anger and frustration. And I only have two pairs to worry about.

Dear professor I bow to your greater knowledge on composition but… no way does squirrel rhyme with world, which I believe is the last word in the actual verse. Have you written many songs? Is the one in question one of yours?

I’m off to bed now. Busy day tomorrow: son and family are taking me on a trip to Essex. It’s a tour of a famous jam factory but I don’t think it produces jam now. They say it has a cafe as well! Life doesn’t get much more exciting than this does it?does it??

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

I’m much the same. I turn off the radio/tv when the news comes on. But I have the Guardian app on my iPad. So towards lunch time I peek with fingers crossed and thereby begins my downfall. We are news junkies and this addiction is hard to treat.

Sorry, on second thoughts the poet in me is very disturbed at how you lost the rhythm in the last line and the word ‘squirrel’ doesn’t bloody-well rhyme!

I’ve had a glorious evening here on Bluesky. It’s so refreshing after the hatred and toxicity on the other place. Why is the far right so wrong? I’ll come again tomorrow and thanks for the reposts etc. it’s almost midnight so I’m about to sign off.

🎵 I am a lineman for the county🎵. I love this song, I find it so moving. Is it about long distance calls? Ihope so otherwise my tears are in vain.

I believe the US is home to a lot more rats than other countries. I wonder why. Could it be anything to do with its political elites?

Motherfucca - I see this phrase all over the place in the US. It’s used as a term of abuse across all ages and genders. It speaks to an inarticulacy amongst the downtrodden and angry. It’s up to we degree holders, especially we literary types to change the language of abuse.
