It's been a while since I posted anything about #knitting, but last night I finished the second sleeve and here it is ready to sew in the ends, block and assemble

Less than a week to go. We sent out an email to all the registered hikers today.

We will have some @hikenovascotia.bsky.social memberships to give away and Truro Pride are hosting us after the hike with a free drink at a local coffee shop.

OutsidePride @outsidepride.org · 16d

Registration is now open for our next hike in the beautiful Victoria Park in Truro on Sunday, October 19th. A little longer this time, we expect it will take around two hours.

Happy Anita Bryant pie day

On this day, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was pied in the face by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist.

Bryant had declared about homosexuality “I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.”

Never show tolerance to the intolerant

I thought it will be Maliks as well. Akram hates being a plumber, he found milking soothing and will be helping out (and learning) until someone takes over and Khalil loves animals.

It scans in RL as well, considering the RAUs scholarships to encourage minority students into farming.

I got the impression that it was grisly given Davids "don't look"

"Mr Mulligan, is that someone we know?"

No Kahlil, he's a plot device to set Akram up with a farm to buy so you can become a farmer.

The leaves are turning and falling, the night frosts the grass in the morning, so it's Cornish pasty time. #baking

Ghosts in popular culture and folklore became translucent due to new optical shows, like phantasmagoria and magic lantern that projected luminous images.

A modern ghost might drift, woo and disperse, a medieval ghost would break through the door and beat you to death with the broken planks.

I have never considered #knitting a jumper with a cable/aran motif for the cuffs and waistband. I'm strangely drawn.

Well, well well, there were two things I didn't expect from todays #TheArchers.

I didn't expect anyone to turn up to Georges party.

I didn't expect Amber Brad and George to form a polycule before Ruairi, Paul and Ben.

They don't want you to know, but I can reveal the real reason Bartleby had to be taken care of.

I thought it was wonderful, there will be of course complaints about it "being pushed down our throats" but I swear those types think about gay sex more often than this 55 yr old homo does.

I think the developing romance between Ruari and Paul is so sweet and I am still rooting for Stella and Pip.

Well, my goodness, my gracious, my me.
It was not just the stags a rutting in the paddock ....

Sweet little woodcock spotted on my lane this evening, completely unfazed by me and the car and took some shooing to get off the road and fly away.

I'm ok with that, I like Stella.
I actually quite like Brian as well, He is a complex and flawed man, but like real people, he has some good aspects too. There was a scene a few weeks ago with him, Linda and Lillian that was sweet and kind and warm, three old friends just being friends in the Bull.

Finally a sensible storyline in #TheArchers

Brian sees sense, acknowledges that Adam is knocking on 60, his daughters are settled, but Ruari - the obvious heir - needs to learn and be mentored by a competent farm and land manager, by Stella

At last a shift away from silly high drama in #Ambridge

He's playing the "look at the establishment, look at how authoritarian they are" card, so he can distract away from how authoritarian he would be in charge.

As with all fascists, and certainly with Farage, every accusation is a confession.

Debbie after a week stuck in a castle with the Archer/Aldridge/Bellamy clan (probably).

In a loose partnership with the rewilding team perhaps?

Perhaps Amber can have Bartleby stuffed and mounted on wheels so she can ride him into Georges party.

As a nice surpise...

Knives out, an Archers mystery.

Benoit Blanc on holiday in a Scottish castle with his husband, comes across a dead Brian floating in the moat, 12 stab wounds in his back.
