You've got this, Steve!

Obligatory garden snow pictures, in this part of England this is An Event!

“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys

@runalongwomble.bsky.social Started reading The Mars House by Natasha Pulley last night I love her writing. I still want a magic octopus ...

Some quality graffiti in Portsmouth

Currently out and about away from home, continuing my mission to visit the Anglican cathedrals of England. Chichester yesterday, Portsmouth today.

Agreed!

Um....

This is a beautiful graphic of an amazing process and every time I see it all I can think about is how it looks like Q got gradually squeezed out of the goth letter clique

Excellent news gathering from Ireland. The whole thing really does need to be read

Those of us that read SF/F as teens read the Gor books at the wrong age (that's somewhere between 0 - 110 really). This it ... perfect? Some word anyway, it's definitely something.

A year or so ago I was averaging about 5 miles a day walking, then I just ... wasn't any more. I've no idea where my enthuse went, but it definitely went. I am trying to reverse the trend. Starting with a modest aim of about 2 miles per day for now. I do like cool/grey/damp weather for walking in.

Over breakfast we tend to watch an episode of a TV show - a Star Trek or Babylon 5. The current watch is Stargate SG1 that we've managed to never see before. But today we are doing Proper Culture (tm) and watching Carmen. We have eclectic tastes but it works for us "Torreadore ..."

A male who wishes to trans to a female, or a female who wishes to trans to a male, has less impact on my life than someone who chooses to vote Conservative.

Routine check up at the opticians just now. For the second time in the 50 or so years I've been wearing glasses I've not needed a new prescription. The change in my eyes in the last 2 years is so slight it's not worth bothering with. I'll take that!

It's time to bring the #rayverse here so here's a map of the United Kingdom illuminated by lighthouses. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

I'm fully vaccinated - latest booster a couple of days ago - and I still can't time travel. Boo!

It's just like being a teenager again - I've just finished my homework before my lesson later this morning. I'm learning Italian and I asked teacher for some prep work before lessons. It's my own fault really. I think I've done it all OK Ho fatto i miei compiti.

There was a decided chip shop queue of people still waiting when I left, I am pleased to see that people are still eager to take up the jabs even if the group being offered them is much less than previously. I did feel rather sorry for the pharmacist - he has a lot of arms to stab today. 2/2

I booked a Covid booster yesterday, I went down to the pharmacy about an hour ago to get it - long queue but moved at a nice pace - when I got in with the pharmacist I was planning to ask when 'flu vaccines would be available, but I didn't have time before he offered me one. 1 of 2

A fun way to start my Tuesday morning - online Mandarin lesson. It was possibly a mad impulse to start the lessons, but now I'm a few months in I am really enjoying them.

When book post makes you cry. It’s truly wonderful to have Maureen in print, but I’d like her to be here in person too.

Tuesdays are fun - started off with my weekly Mandarin Chinese lesson. I can now ask if someone likes various kinds of fruit, and understand the answer. A wee bit hazy on the pronunciation of 'juice' in Chinese though.

Andrew Tate is trending which means we can repost this again

That thing when a friend asks you if you're ok and you reply with, yes, there's just ... and you come out with a whole laundry list of stuff going on in your life. Maybe I am a touch overwhelmed right now.

Let's see what this is all about then shall we? I suspect I won't be very active, but you never know.
