Diane Keaton was a singular artist. The way she accepted her AFI Lifetime Achievement Award was quintessentially her.

Their webs are magnificent works of fairy-tales (in the dew) & engineering! Not so magnificent when you fear they may drop on you in the night!!

drmaryhealy.bsky.social @drmaryhealy.bsky.social · 17h

Good morning Jenny. Tis the season for spiders - I'm just observing all the webs in the trees/bushes outside, glistening from the damp mist.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

Excellent advice, though I fear my floating days are over, especially now we’ve closed the pool! Enjoy your Sunday Mr. Em.

Mr Emerson @mremerson.bsky.social · 20h

My advice for Sunday: think less, float more. The universe manages perfectly well without our supervision. ☁️

Good morning Mary. Bright & clear here. Satisfying to finish a piece of work so enjoy the coffee. The huge spider on our ceiling last night has hidden away somewhere dark, no doubt to spin her web whilst the ladybirds are huddled together in a corner of the ceiling, perhaps for comfort? #countrylife

drmaryhealy.bsky.social @drmaryhealy.bsky.social · 20h

Good morning on this foggy Sunday. My writing is ready to submit so I'll be celebrating with coffee as is customary. Stay safe.

I've had the same dream!!! (And am a 'never smoker'...)

Jenny Symien @symienjennifer.bsky.social · 1d

I never smoked but years after my children were born and left home, I dreamed I had a baby which I forgot to look after, feed etc. It was always a nightmare in some darkened room!!

LeSurath @lesurath.bsky.social · 1d

I quit smoking 38 years ago, never had a single smoke after that, but kept on having nightmares that I had started again for more than 30 years. Nicotine‘s a bitch.

Good morning Mary. Don’t be too harsh with those tomatoes. Enjoy your Saturday. We’re visitor free so relaxing a bit.

drmaryhealy.bsky.social @drmaryhealy.bsky.social · 1d

Good morning on what should be a sunny-ish Saturday. Now I've finished my work (for now), I have time to threaten my tomato plants... that if they don't get a move on, I'll pull them up by the roots. Stay safe... unless you're one of my tomato plants...

Nick Harkaway @nickharkaway.com · 3d

I thought around now I’d be getting it out and expanding it. Instead, having decided that would just crash the signal-to-noise in this book through the back wall, I’m ditching it, and in doing so I realise it was only ever a single line. #writing

Jenny Symien @symienjennifer.bsky.social · 3d

Read this to my French husband & we talked about your Top Knot book which he liked very much. He tells me he thought Marriage Material was also a true story. I told him it was fiction. Both books so good - tender, funny and full of the culture references we all have in our different ethnicities.
