I laughed.
3 panel XKCD Cartoon titled "Coastline Similarity" (Left hand panel: stick woman teacher pointing at a line drawing of South America with its east coast in red, and Africa with its west coast also in red) "PEOPLE HAD LONG NOTICED THAT SOUTH AMERICA AND AFRICA HAD SIMILARLY-SHAPED COASTLINES." (Centre panel: two students sitting at desks with the same teacher in front of the drawing) "IN THE 20TH CENTURY, GEOLOGISTS FINALLY FOUND THE EXPLANATION:" (Right hand panel: Same layout as centre panel) Student - "PLAGIARIS-" Teacher - "CONTINENTAL DRIFT." Student - "OH."

Morning again, Suffolk 🖤
A huge sky of varying blues, cross crossed with clouds and vapour trails, lightening towards the horizon but meeting a darker band of cloud against a silhouette of a far away tree line Same picture as before but with an almost completely bare comically round picture book tree shaped tree in the foreground. Caught while travelling past at speed.

I did. I involuntarily shouted "ABSOLUTELY NOT" and "STOP TOUCHING IT FOR GODS SAKE"

This pair from @oddthisday.bsky.social made me laugh:
First post from Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social "News just in: Lord of the Rings not actually fiction" With a link to a news story: "World's biggest spiderweb discovered on the Albanian-Greek border" (Photo of a man in a red boilersuit and red hard hat in a cave next to a really very weird looking shiny silvery bumpy wall straight from your nightmares) "This is the first evidence of colonial behaviour in two common spider species and probably represents the largest spider web in the world." Second post from Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social "It's fine, really. It's not one spider the size of Manhattan. It's 110,000 different, smaller spiders. ABSOLUTELY FINE"

My legs in black corduroy L&Y dungarees and feet in black DM shoes stood on grass covered in orange and brown autumn leaves lit by the bright sun.

Reserve a book from the local library and get a bonus nursery rhyme on the reservation slip.
I’m going in @garethdennis.uk ❤️

Raging racist arsehole spouting off at the bus station. Intervened after he told a bus driver to “go back to his own country”. He babbled unintelligibly in racist tropes then tried to insult me (I think) by saying “You look like a lefty”

His powers of deduction were… immense.
What gave it away?
Someone who “looks like a lefty” Me wearing Vans, Lucy & Yak trousers, a Santa Cruz jacket and a Safad Keffiyeh. Wearing a mid finger ring and carrying my a reusable coffee cup. Guilty ;-)

Lying in bed with my cat (Jones) on my lap, when my son’s cat (Seth) appears at the door. Seth is a rescue and the boys don’t get on... trying to verbally shoo him out of Jones safe space didn’t work so I went to throw something near him.

Reached into my bedside drawer and… oh the irony.

Yes!
A phot of a hand holding some fancy bags of coffee held up obscuring a table and two chairs in front of a white wall with a black line drawing of a map of the world with the world with “from farm to cup” written above. A circular mirror is on the adjacent wall with “Almea Coffee” in bold black letters with line drawings of coffee plants around it, and a shocking pick door half out of frame to the left.

I have assumed the role of cat sofa, as I do every weekend 🧡
Hope your cats appear soon.

Well done, Suffolk. You were beautiful this morning.
Photo of the sun rising over fields with a row of trees in silhouette along the horizon. The sun is bright white yellow with a sharp flare. The sky around it is a dark orange fading to yellow and up to a deep blue clear sky. It’s beautiful.

Kiera Knightly can get fucked.

And I think I'm being *far* more respectful to her than she is to trans people.
Keira Knightley says she was 'not aware' of JK Rowling boycott calls before joining Harry Potter audiobooks Actor, who voices Dolores Umbridge in the new full-cast recordings, says she hopes 'we can all find respect' amid renewed controversy over Rowling's views on trans rights.

Creepiest place I’ve ever agreed to have blood drained from my body.

About time really. I had high hopes for "Your Party" but the terf inclusion and absolute farcical infighting was ridiculous.

I voted for them in 2024 and Zack Polanski has been incredibly impressive so far, so it's time to give them my financial support too.

I love public transport. The country just needs more of it.

It’s October 3rd.

That was brilliant.

And I wasn’t expecting an appearance from ER Fightmaster 🖤

I remember working on the Cambridge Central Mosque (very boring Electrics stuff, not the architecture to be clear!) and being STUNNED at its beauty.

cambridgecentralmosque.org
The central dome of the mosque with beautiful light wood coloured glulam pillar structures reaching out across the white ceiling with circular rooflights. More beautiful glulam pillars that look like tree branches supporting an external canopy leading out to a garden with a small water feature. The gold dome of the mosque shining in the sunlight against a blue sky, and a mosaic like patterned wall, reflected in blue water. I think.

Current scene in my house. I’m about halfway through so although I didn’t know the special guest story I immediately recognised this would REQUIRE CLARIFICATION.

(Have also *just* recommended it to a friend)
I picture of Sara’s book “Drama Queen” in my hand taken whilst in bed with an orange cat in the background.
