Ashamed to say I gave up and drifted away from #BluePrince - should I return? I never have the right items, the right rooms or enough money... And what's the code to the darned safe in the boudoir? (Don't really tell me; I need to learn...)

Anyone going to #ManchesterPsychFest? Thoroughly recommend #DuBlonde. Saw them at #SFTOC and they were great. When I last went to psych fest, the queues were mad and you couldn't change venues easily. Is it still like that? www.manchesterpsychfest.com/2025

How good is this guy?! He’s like a plastic collectible of old but made of pottery. And there’s a whole family of him, all with different features and traits. Made by Helen Baker at Clay Studio in Manchester. www.instagram.com/hbceramix?ig...

Proud pottery robot with outstretched arms and flower making powers.

Why will Rimworld always ruin my life. I can’t even handle a crazed guinea pig. Death everywhere and no one skilled enough to build a CHAIR!

Spent a disproportionate amount of time looking for trousers this morning.

What’s the benchmark for completing Blue Prince? Feel like I’ve been playing the game for an embarrassingly long time…

Back listening to The Wicker Man soundtrack again. Nothing like a bit of creepy folk to brighten up the week. Can’t work out which track is my favourite though.

Wicker Man LP cover. Yellow background with giant straw man on it. People wearing deer antlers congregate at its feet.

I return to Bluesky after a lazy hiatus to ask WHAT’S WITH ALL THE GODDANG APHIDS?

Failing to plan itinerary for Sounds From The Other City. Thus far spending whole day in Islington Mill struggling to split mine atoms so I can see all the things happening. I love clashfinder but it's also making me sad! clashfinder.com/s/sftoc25/ #SFOTC25 #SFOTC #Salford #LiveMusic

Do only older people (like me) go to smaller gigs/venues? Am curious as to whether I am just liking music that other oldies seem to like or whether younger people are gravitating to larger gigs/festivals? I've used a gif because I am OLD. Do you see. And it's from an OLD film. I am justified and...

a group of people are sitting in a crowd and one of them is wearing a t-shirt that says " i love you "

Alt: Wayne's World film: Wayne and Garth in a rock-concert-crowd pumping fists in the air and smiling.

Something strange in the neighbourhood…

Kate Leach @iamkleach.bsky.social · Jan 11

@bohaynowell.bsky.social - saw these and thought of you. :)

Kate Leach @iamkleach.bsky.social · Jan 10

Imagine! Would be so cool. Although, a bit like with my granddad’s false teeth, I’d be a bit frightened of them. Glasses from that era scary anyway!

Something quite cold and odd seeing a person’s belongings all stripped down and separated and catalogued for auction. Imagine if this happened to everyone when they passed away. Who wants my old slippers.

This is an odd lot. hansonslive.hansonsauctioneers.co.uk/m/lot-detail...

The entire residual contents of Eric's bar to include an array of opened spirit and liqueur vintage bottles, various clear drinking glasses and tankards, beer mats/coasters, soda syphon, cork screws,...
