I wonder if this car realises it’s channelling @georgetakei.bsky.social ? ✨

I come from a family of candle-lighters. In times of challenge, heartbreak, difficulty, we light a candle. I have been lighting candles a lot lately.

As the last few hours of 2024 trickle away, I light this candle for all of us. 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹💞

If you’re in Birmingham (UK) and you fancy a great selection of real and craft ales, check out The Wellington in Bennet’s Hill. This is Froth Blowers Brewery’s Piffle Snonker. At 3.8%, it’s about my speed. And, I might add, mighty tasty.

Good morning, Bluesky! Here is a Sunday Bartholomew (may he rest in peace) to brighten your day, in case you need it. Or even if you don’t. #GuineaPigs

Happy #Caturday from your friendly neighbourhood cat - literally, it’s the neighbour’s cat.

In case you needed some cute, here are the late, lamented Bartholomew (black, on the left) and Lucy (tan, on the right) sharing a tasty piece of apple.

I don’t think I’ve seen snow in the UK in November before. I’m not sure the flowers (cosmos?) liked it.

As I listen to the rain hammer down on the conservatory roof on this dark late-autumn afternoon, I dream of brighter, warmer and (slightly) more beer-addled times. Looking forward to more camping and festivals next year!

Anna, why were you late to work today?
Answer: cat. Neighbour’s, to be specific.
