You'll find me watching cricket, playing netball or walking football, reading a good book or very possibly in another country.

And my cats...
All I want is a seaside cottage, a captivating novel, a comfortable reading chair, the distant rumble of thunder, a pot of tea, a crackling fire, an emotional support owl, and a plate of freshly-baked scones.

Shambling forest creature with books
Don't be afraid of getting old.
Let it liberate you.
Let your talons grow long and wild.
Festoon your antlers with moss & wildflowers.
Skulk through the shadows, invisible to most.
Become the shambling forest creature you were destined to be.

Interesting thread
The secret German weather station on the Arctic island of Svalbard. Part of the 'Weather War'.
The team, led by Lieutenant Wilhelm Dege, were the last German troops to surrender in WW2, finally doing so FOUR MONTHS after Germany had officially surrendered.
It was not for want of trying. /1

@blitzwalker.bsky.social any ideas?
I'm looking at my dad's photo album from his time as a young volunteer with the RAF, including PAI Force.
Could anyone help me with a couple of abbreviations, please?
HMT (in HMT Duchess of Bedford)
ERS (in ERS Habbaniyah 1943 - I know what RAF Habbaniya was)
Insights appreciated - thanks.

I’m really proud of these and also I really need some extra cash to buy ink and paper and a few necessary pieces of extra equipment, so if you fancy one of these prints (or know someone who would) now’s your chance!

THREAD/Earlier today, I was sent this photograph of an Air Raid Warden on lookout at The Valley by Ben Hayes from the excellent @chathmuseum.bsky.social who asked me if I could provide any further details. The photo is captioned on the reverse as being of Harry Goldfinch and taken on 26 August 1944.

We've reached that most wonderful time of the year when I can't listen to the radio any more because of wall to wall Christmas songs. I'd be sick of them by the 25th.
