Somebody has sent me a DM on here. 😱

I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I can't read it, as Bluesky won't let me even verify my face (I can't blame them, to be honest).

So if it was you who DMd me, and you see this, please let me know, and I'll see if I can find a way around it.

I've been avoiding saying the typical greeting since at least 2017, as it kept getting worse & worse.

I tried many different iterations, & even given up for a few years.

This year? BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, FOLKS, IT'S GOING TO GET EVEN MESSIER - GOOD LUCK, US! 😣

"The holly in the windy hedge
And round the Manor House the yew
Will soon be stripped to deck the ledge,
The altar, font and arch and pew,
So that the villagers can say
'The church looks nice' on Christmas Day."

Dating back to Celtic times Frumenty, which has several different spellings, is a porridge-like recipe made with cracked wheat. It was served throughout Yorkshire on Christmas Eve.

Do any of you have plans for today?

I humbly suggest that we just try to survive it, and feck everything else.

It is one of life's greatest tragickal upsets, that upon quoting both Blackadder and Bottom in the same multi-person conversation, nobody else gets the references, because they've never seen either.

It's crass, but I'm asking for a small favor. I'm applying for a grant to help possibly turning the flash fiction conthology into an actual, physical book. If I get about 30 more followers on BSKY, I can truthfully say I have at least 1k followers on every big platform.

Mind asking your friends? ;)

A screenshot of the BBC website, showing a lovely photograph of the glorious Mhara Starling, who is wearing a black low, pointy hat, black top and very wavy hair. She is smiling and looks beautiful. The title of the BBC Sounds piece is "Meet Mhara who found her true self through Druidry".

From blood and bravery
Flowers grow,
Blooms from bone
And dew from tears
On paper petals where they lie,
Left where they fell
But borne on winds
Remembering,
Still,
In silence lost
Where freedom breaks
A new day,
Hope alive.

A photograph of a red poppy against and black and white background, covered in dew drops. Above and below are words from "For The Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. "Solemn the drums thrill Death august and royal - Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desolation - And a glory that shines upon our tears." An old black and white photograph of my Great Grandad. A pacifist, he died aged 26 pulling back a fallen soldier in his duties as a St. John Ambulance paramedic. Sadly, a mortar hit, killing him, but saving the soldier he pulled back. He was awarded posthumous medals, and letters from his commanding officers to his wife and baby son spoke of a man of honour, diligence, integrity and great leadership. A photograph taken at RHS Rosemoor, of a metal statie soldier standing amongst tall metal, red poppies, holding a rifle in one hand and a poppy posy in the other. His head is bowed in remembrance of his comrades. A photograph taken from underneath a red poppy against a black and white background of sky. The poem below is taken from "For The Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. "As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain: As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end they remain".

THE PROJECTS THREAD

I have one of these elsewhere, which I'm not ready to leave behind yet, so I'm starting a new one here for the future.

I record all my arty-farty attempts as proof to myself that I tried. Creativity (when my brain lets me) is good for my mental health, which I battle with.
A card painted in bright watercolours, from the top left corner going from blue to purple, to hot pink, to orange to yellow. In the centre is a heart shape with a white border, and the inner heart is coloured reddish pink. Around the whote border are written the words, "Memories fade, the birds end their songs, the stars cease to shine, Love endures forever". I made it as a sympathy card for a friend whose husband died after a long and traumatic battle with dementia.
