Feeling nostalgic for Lumb Bank on Sylvia Plath’s anniversary @arvonfoundation.bsky.social I was there in 2023 for a life changing residential and met friends for life

@wendypratt.bsky.social’s Blackbird Singing at Dusk - both the whole book and the title poem - just excellent! I keep excitedly reading bits out to Eloise while she tries to do her homework 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Cannot believe the last thing I watched on my crap old telly before it went to the electronic afterlife was a reality show about selling houses worth more than every single property in York added together, instead of something more high brow.

Happy Winter Solstice!

These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure.

Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice.

The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

Thank you @annierutherford.bsky.social for the introduction to Ella Risbridger’s ‘What We Talk About When We Talk About Cheese,’ which made me well up on the school run this morning. ‘The women I know get together and talk about their mothers./
Oh God, my mother, let me tell you about my mother…’

I set the kids a selfie challenge. The instruction for this one was ‘write a Christmas message’ 🤣

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).
