Best explanation of what’s going on that I’ve heard so far. Very informative.

Oh my. My father was in the RN during the war and also saw Vesuvius erupting, spent time in Malta and saw his first opera - in Naples. He came from a West of Scotland working class background but never lost his love of opera or of Europe. I’m glad he’s not around to see what’s happening now.

Excellent thread as usual from @monkemma.bsky.social
I read the article and knew what he was saying was BS but it was great to see the detailed figures. Not the main point I know but why do these people always agree to have photos taken which make them look like arrogant pricks?

Happy birthday! Sorry you’re poorly. Cats sometimes choose the wrong presents! 🐭

I was one - just I can’t help myself! 😉

Sheriff…

What’s next? Burning witches?

I’ve followed you for ages and love your photos, particularly the ones of the ponies, the wild windy landscapes and your children charging joyfully into the sea! Your posts are always welcome and a real timeline cleanser.

Solid agree 👍

I loved Luna - reminded me of an actual former colleague!

I heard him speak at the Edinburgh book festival in August. I also wondered how on earth he managed to write these books on top of everything else he does.

Matera is fabulous - enjoy!

I agree. Really fascinating. I binge listened to the whole lot!

He wrote it!
