Trying to write, got an unpublished novel, The Errand Boy all ready to go. Got some poetry under my belt, gone sober in Jan 2023. Ran a few marathons. Live in a lovely part of Yorkshire. No fascists, billionaires, s*x bots, A.I.s, DMs or politics.

I came to Bluesky because X (not twitter) had degenerated into a right-wing / fascist hell.
From 20 Jan 2025 there will be no American politics on my timeline. I gave it 8 years, it gave me anxiety and disappointment. You let in the clown, he brought the circus.
Follow / unfollow, up to you.

Off to bed, 12.30am, pouring down with rain, I head for the stairs and notice a bright light shining through the front door window.
My front security light is on.
It has not been on for well over a decade.
And it won't turn off.
What the hell....😳👻

Just watched Havoc on Netflix.
It is....shite.
It is an ugly made for streaming film that looks grey, sludgy, as if shot on VHS, every single action shot is shaky cam, it was cute in The Raid not now.
Hardy looks like a bow-legged ape/plumber hybrid. Irredeemable.

Halley Research Station is open for business!
After a stop at Neumayer, serenaded with a horn farewell, the team reached Halley - only to find one door had reinvented itself as a wall… a wall of snow.
They’re melting it in tea urns for water and slowly getting the station ready for the season.

Finished for the week
It's been a crappy week but god I am thinking back to all the years I'd be at a bus stop now, waiting to get home in the dark and the rain.
And now I'm lying down watching the rain and inwardly thanking the elder gods that's all over, for now 😅☕☔

We're back On Rotation for @AppleMusic this month with some bossa nova niceness, upfront rap bangers, Argentinian funk covers, classic dancefloor beats, and (because it’s episode 007) a nod or two to Bond, James Bond. Enjoy!

I don't normally go bargain protein hunting at Waitrose at the end of the day, however I was passing, got my coffee and bagged some bargain ribs and ox tail.

Trying to work, sort of, and my friend is in the pub in Leeds and sent me a picture to prove it.
Whitelocks, Leeds, about 300 years old. Used to drink here as a student last century.

Erm.....I wasn't off, I don't work Wednesdays, and ok.
And so the hamster wheel is once again launched on a trajectory of a circular nature.

🧡 Hidden in the Arabian Sea, Socotra Island is a natural wonder unlike anywhere else on Earth. Its landscapes are dotted with the legendary Dragon’s Blood Trees—their umbrella-like canopies and crimson sap make them look straight out of a fantasy world.

I've just had what I believe to be a scam DM from someone claiming to be @bsky.app
Looks like @anna-uk.bsky.social might be a bot
Think I'll block and take my chances
