Midweek peak time, may your lofty perch offer you some splendid views of a hopeful, fair, tolerant future rather than the hate filled distopia being crafted to keep us scared of each other and at odds. May your path be clear and your obstacles small my friends.
Be cool, be kind and be awesome.

This Tuesday is remembrance day and whatever it means to you and however you mark the moment, I hope you can do so with the reverance and depth it deserves. My Grandparents and Great Grandparents will be foremost in my thoughts, as will everyone, everywhere ever impacted by war.

I hope your week has got off to a decent start my friends and that this fine example of a Monday is being gentle even if not fully cooperative. Your track records in successfully navigating Mondays is 100%, so fuel your self belief with that and power on to many, many more to come.

TFiF! We've reached another weekends eve on this rocket sled we call life. The steering may be limited and the brakes are nonexistent but you're doing exceptionally well to have made it this far and your skills will take you further I am sure, with a bit of luck for good measure.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Thursday, hammer time, and our descent towards the hallowed ground of the weekend is in full swing. May your beverages be good, the proverbial wind be at your back and your sense of fun and ridiculousness never desert you.

This is a midweek, midday, missive. May the peak of this week be good to you, may the path ahead be clear and wide and may you always find firm footing. There's more good in this world than we're often shown, go add to it!

Tuesday (it is, I checked). We pile out of Monday landing face first in the weeks second day. I would like to remind you, dear reader, that your productivity does not define your value.

I hope your Tuesday is going well my friends, but if it's not I hope it improves. If the odds are against you then may you find the mojo to give it your all. It's not the winning but how you play life's game that matters I reckon. Be cool, be kind and be awesome.

Monday, a fresh day to start a new week and bring the month to an end. I hope it gets off to a good start with minimum smeggary and some positive progress. Don't be a smeghead, do be cool, be kind and be awesome.

TFiF! We've arrived at the end of another week and some times, things just don't go as planned and there's nothing much to be done about it. I hope that doesn't happen to you this day and that your week ends well. Make the best of the hand you're dealt my friends. Be cool, be kind and be awesome.

Thursday, stop! Hammer time!
I hope your endeavours, as long as your intentions are good and honest, are successful and that any setbacks you suffer are minor. Remember to look after yourself like you would a friend and just give it your best shot.

The song, "Dancing in the dark", is completely unrealistic. At no point do you hear someone shouting, "OW!", Followed by, "sorry mate".

I hope your Mondays are being kind to you my friends. If you're going through the mire at the moment, remember the important thing is to keep going."This too shall pass" is a cliché because it's true. You're not alone,and you're stronger than you think. Hang in there.

Ok life, back off now, you've won 2025 and I've lost, you can stop kicking me and mine now.
