The blizzard didn't seem to have been a blizzard after all in our area and there's not much more snow than before. Looks like the weekend will be cold and crisp, not really what we have become used to.

Remembering the time we stayed at the Mull of Galloway lighthouse & the dog needed to poop so urgently at 2am that I didn't have time to grab a torch, & I was standing there in the rain with the poop bag waiting for the lighthouse to flash every 20 seconds so I cd see where the poop was. Fun times.

I had never heard about Bad Bunny before his announcement as the half-time act - not sure whether I’m out of sync (very possibly) or just European - and can’t understand a word Spanish, but I had no problem deciphering his symbolism and political message.

LOL you don’t need a word of Spanish to understand symbolism. Art is a universal language. The only barrier was racism.

Russian authorities accused @istories.bsky.social founder Roman Anin and his former colleague Ekaterina Fomina of disseminating false information on the Russian Armed Forces.

I really enjoyed reading Strangers after having seen the film loosely based on it - All of Us Strangers, which I think is my absolute favourite film of this millennium. The plot is materially different in the Japanese original. Do you know it @helengrantsays.bsky.social ?
