Again, newish people, helloish! Pretty much what the profile says, settled here over a year ago & stuck so there's lengthy enough posting history for you to know what to expect, don't say you weren't warned!
If you do anything, make it a habit to include alt text on images.
Now, any questions?

What’s your favourite song about the rain? ☔️
"And the rain fell like bullets from a gun
And the sky came and swallowed up the sun
So I buttoned up my coat and I went out for a walk
Beneath the iron sky"

Some people I vaguely e-know & encounter in other contexts but meeting someone I only bluesky-know is a first. Very not my style to approach not-quite-strangers in person, not just because I’m not identifiable or recognisable from here. Anyway, I can now confirm @safers.bsky.social exists - shwmae!

Since we're doing "Look, just call people by what they tell you to call them!" again, that must mean it's once again time to share a learning opportunity from a long time ago...

You be the judge: should my best friend stop calling me by a nickname?
Priscilla knows that when Chioma calls her ‘Pris’ she means no harm – but finds it very annoying. You get to name the offending party

No, I haven't gone to bed yet, of course not because Bananarama at the BBC is on #QuiltAndAPillow'sWaiting

I wouldn't say I'd forgotten the joy of MC Theako and limp covers of things that never needed covering in the first place but I kinda wish I had #TotP

You know, part of me could get used to gigs with no support band, so the headline act is the only act and they kick off at 8pm prompt 🤘

What do you mean, from now back to then is the same interval as from then back to the end of WW2? And am I going to watch the whole lot? Do bears bear, do bees be?

Another new-to-me venue, where even if the sounds aren’t quite industrial, the location definitely is. There’s never a bad time to see @bistheband.bsky.social @emftheband.bsky.social and @jesusjonesband.bsky.social but all three together might just delay the onset of autumn despite the weather.

I pretty much never watch films but even I am a massive appreciator of Drew Struzan’s superlative works, and it’s too bad that he’s gone. Damn.
