Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']: Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

This is what I call a Peter Pan sky and I love it. Anyone else know what I mean? Or have their own terms for something that’s book nostalgia

Only a Labrador can look both noble and silly. Our first yellow and probably not the last, for all that we love black Labs.

Sir Ernest Shackleton died on this day, 1922. He was only 47 and fed up being told to give up things by his doctor. I'm a Shackleton by birth and always try to be better. sgmuseum.gs/death-of-sha...

A lovely story. The boat we lived on for 5 years was a Freya 39, which won the Sydney-Hobart three times. It’s a deep deep love, for a boat you’ve lost.

I love that the AA sent this to my husband. It’s like a salute from a uniformed man on a motorcycle. Remember that?

Christmas reading sorted thanks to @lissakevans.bsky.social and others not on here. So wise to base emotions - and also funny. How did I miss this first time? What’s everyone else’s stress time read?

If you read one thing on here today then make sure it’s this. More excellent writing yet again from Mr Rebanks which really is “food for thought” ⤵️

Anyone else remember the tv Box of Delights? I remember it as magical, with Robert Stephens and Patrick Troughton. Maybe best left in the memory though.
