You, @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social & Sophie (plus @sociabledog.bsky.social ) have been such a joy to follow over the past few years. Jess & I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Starting to get into the Christmas spirit. The wreath is now up on the hall door - and I did polish the brasses!

Great flow of water over one of the Dodder weirs this afternoon. If there were still mills along this stretch of the river, their mill wheels would be spinning!

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... What do you mean, you haven't signed the Parky Charter petition calling for better Parkinson's care?? We Parkies have an excuse - one of the symptoms of PD is apathy. But as for the rest of you, jump to it! (pretty please..)
Petition: Increase funding for people with Parkinson’s and implement the "Parky Charter"
We want the government to take the decisive five steps set out in the Movers and Shakers' "Parky Charter" and to fulfil the Health Secretary’s promises.

@dianecoyle1859.bsky.social You must be happy with the University Challenge result? - even if none of them was studying Economics!
A lot of coverage here due to the Dublin captain. It was a very exciting final.
