Hi. Sorry no videos. Jerry may have put some up. The lighting wasn’t very good either. Did you see Thursdays livestream? It was a real treat! Have a good weekend 🎶

Hi. I looked up the term ‘fireball’ and all I could understand was this it is a meteor. There were lots of technical explanations, but I couldn’t easily condense any down that made sense to me. I didn’t really understand what I was reading 😆🤓 😄

Here is a chance to stop OFWAT allowing Thames Water to legally dump sewage into our rivers and seas for the next 15 years. There is so much wrong in the world now, but we can at least try to stop these crooks by signing this petition. #ThamesWater #sewage #environment weownit.org.uk/public-owner...

Let's bring our water into public ownership.

Last night at Leo’s Red Lion in Gravesend. Supporting @bluenationmusic.bsky.social was this band Kit Trigg. 😃 What a band! SO good and the crowd gave them a well deserved HUGE applause. Definitely a band to follow. #livemusic Nothing better than being wowed by new music. 🎶

After completing the IRONMAN 70.3 Weymouth, Natasha has raised £873 to support our campaigns to end factory farming! 👏👏

"As I cycled and ran through the beautiful Dorset countryside, feeling the joy of freedom and adventure, I couldn’t help but reflect on the stark contrast with the lives of so many farmed animals confined in industrial systems."

More true than ever. 💸

A black chalkboard sign outside a gas station with the handwritten message: “WE HAVE THE BEST GOVERNMENT THAT MONEY CAN BUY – Mark Twain.” The sign is framed in green, standing on grass beside a concrete path and a utility pole. In the background, fuel pumps and part of the gas station structure are visible.

@mccallsmith.bsky.social Hi. Just finished ‘The Second Worst Restaurant in France’. If it hasn’t already, please say this tale will be told on film 😊 I laughed out loud and fell in love with the characters. Chloe is magnificent! What a tale 😁 Thank you for the entertainment. #NothingLikeAGoodBook

Hi. I must have pressed something in error as I’ve no idea where that link came from 😯 We got back this afternoon on Eurotunnel. Nice day for a ferry crossing. Safe journeys 🛳️🌤️ 😊

😃Oh that’s great-Thank you so much! Kris Barras is soooo exciting live isn’t he? We did have another good reason not to be there-on holiday in Trouville. Loved the coast & probably best coffee I’ve had plus croissant was heavenly. Oh my. And I am hoping that I can find the apricot jam over here.

Glad all good. Yes, it’s tricky keeping a place. Hopefully the people either side of you will keep your spot. Maybe hang a jacket, that you don’t mind losing and cross your fingers 🥴

If you’re running a grassroots space, now is the time to apply. This fund has already helped transform the live music landscape, so let’s make sure more of our grassroots can benefit.

@travisbaldree.bsky.social Hi. I’ve dipped into fantasy and read your book ‘Bookshops & Bonedust’. Thank you for a great read. Got a bit too emotionally invested, so blubbed a bit. Guess that is what marks out a blooming good author. I now have to read the prequel 😁

Also playing at this festival was new-ish band Jack-Austin Despy Blues Band. Jacks guitar skills would be incredible for a mature musician, but 17 years old? Phenomenal. #TheBlues
