There is a moral here

Old. Seeking every bit of the sun’s warmth (know the feeling)

@GillyUsborne @raggedydocs 🙏

@DadRural @raggedydocs In short, yes.

i can’t get over how tom breathes “yes” after mary accepts his proposal like he can’t quite believe she said it. he has worked so hard so he could provide as a husband but in mary he found someone who loves him regardless, who finds him worthy for his heart, not his wealth 🥹

@GillyUsborne @raggedydocs Do we really need to re-watch (time and time again?) not one but two gorgeous erudite younger men, white shirts soaked, emerging wet yet not bedraggled from a wild windswept lake? Such has never been seen in fair Westmoreland.

@raggedydocs That was a wonderful moment. What an excellent production. I might have to watch again.

Skiers that look like musical notes… A magnificent photograph by Haukur Sigurdsson.

Palmerston, Diplocat extraordinaire, passed away peacefully on 12 February. “Palmy” was a special member of the Government House team in Bermuda, and a much loved family member. He was a wonderful companion, with a gentle nature, and will be sorely missed.

Did you know Charles Darwin was born #OnThisDay in 1809? #DarwinDay celebrates not just Darwin, but the gardeners, naturalists and women scientists who shaped his work. Explore their stories: bit.ly/4bPrF2d @Christs_College #CambridgeAlumni

Wondrous things. L’pool

This is the full message the US president has sent to the Norwegian prime minister over Greenland. If Chat GPT had been asked to create a parody letter in the style of Donald Trump, could it have done any better?

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

Farewell to posting on Twitter, sadly now known as x. On to skies still blue.

@hughjconsulting @GillyUsborne We joined BlueSky 18? months ago, saddened by twitters transition. Little of what we follow moved; we enjoy +ve links on x. All social media has its good, humour & brings together; Equally the most horrible appalling pathetic views grow. Playing Wordle on BSk +ve, for greatr good

@DadRural @GillyUsborne I'm not saying anybody else has to do anything, but I'm moving away from X

Wordle 1,666 3/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 When Marty and Kathy had uncovered the body, they saw a trombone, previously hidden by the now broken harp Marty was beginning to suspect that this was an ensemble crime

@GillyUsborne @hughjconsulting Keep both. Enjoy both. Respond on both. Change can be gradual

@DadRural @hughjconsulting Accept that but I still feel like a teenager whose parents have told me to change schools because the teaching is dodgy where I am. I don’t want to because I might lose my friends.

“The test of a great university is not whether it attracts those already trained to succeed, but whether it can recognise and cultivate potential wherever it exists” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@GillyUsborne @hughjconsulting ‘Bluntly’ - there are many kind caring thoughtful people out there, perhaps we can all individually make the tiniest difference

@hughjconsulting Yes, I understand that. I’d best get myself over to BlueSky.

@HEPP_Jackie @hughjconsulting When posting it looks very strange. 50 mins later, the little blue bird has tidied scene up

@hughjconsulting If necessary we could post on both for a while to see if everyone is on board. Sometimes people skip a day and might miss it.
