This one seems to have gone, but there are 3 very similar names there - preemptively blocked now…

That’s bad. I’ve had to do similar preparation on occasion during my career. I got to the point of giving one lecture that I’d only completed the night before…
Good luck!

Good morning Kitty - that’s a useful reminder to start the day 😀. Hope that today will be a good one with plenty of positive things weaving through it!

I’ve got a tub of that in my garage, but the label on it says ‘general purpose grease for car suspension joints, wheel bearings etc’. Similar colour and consistency (and probably taste).

Sorry to hear that. I’m afraid issues sometimes loom large in life: I hope they will fade to manageable proportions, sooner rather than later. 🫂

Saw this on Threads first, where we follow each other, so checked, & followed you here too 😀

Thinking back, I can only remember this happening once. And it was couched in a different way: “are you unhappy, Rick?”

Hello! We follow each other on Threads; I’m trying to connect with people on B-Sky that I know from Threads. A kind of ‘backup’ space.

It took time to build a community on Threads: I think it will take time to build a similar community on B-Sky too. I’m trying to follow people I’ve got to know on Threads here too. If people already know one another, that community could build more quickly.

That’s what I’m hoping. And we’ll need to work as a community to make that happen. Our advantage is that many of us know one another, so building that community should be achievable.

We have prepared- fire built up, cat’s microwave heated ‘hot pad’, placed on favourite chair, blankets arranged to shield from draughts, food and water bowls in easy reach… we are expecting a good trustpilot review…

Followed from Threads 😀. Increasing numbers of people from Threads are coming here too. I’ve had a B-Sky account for a long time, but not used much. Now starting to use it more, but I’m not quitting Threads yet - I still feel more at home there, tbh.

Electric blanket on here (how would I survive without it?), but in my case I’m scrolling B-Sky & Threads 😂.

I started beginners’ Welsh a few years ago. Kept it up for 2 years, and enjoyed it. Life became too busy to keep going, but intending to go back to it in 6-9 months. I live in Wales & there are local groups who organise quizzes & conversation get-togethers. Pleasant & pressure free.
