Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
OMG this is so funny. Especially the definitions of ’street slang’. Smash hits reporter presumably having recently graduated from an Oxbridge university.

Drips of water landing on my head from a tree or building after a rain shower

Officially in the fuck, fuck, fuck do we have enough money for this phase of the renovation

Highly recommend this contemporary show about the building of the Victoria line tube in London.
How They Dug the Victoria Line
First transmitted in 1969, this is the story of the construction of the world’s most advanced underground system where automated trains are driven along hand-finished tunnels.

Recently finished the third in ‘The book of dust’ trilogy. Am I right that he didn’t stick the landing?

I wrote this poem the day after Renee Good was murdered - it’s about how the media and politicians immediately dehumanised her. I have had a few people ask “who wrote it?” So I am putting it up again - written in anger

Bought an old house and currently refurbing. Going through the various historical strata - guessing we are currently in the 1950/60’s kitsch epoch.

It’s a new year and all is forgiven; this means we can be Bluesky buddies! Except if you are a nazi, sexist, transphobe, homophobe, religious zealot or otherwise generally an arsehole* in which case you can just stroll on.

*noting that we can all be arseholes sometimes.

Unfortunately we didn’t have time to visit the Blubberhouses today.

We’ve broken up our journey back to London with an overnight stay in the Dales. When you arrive in the dark it’s always interesting to see what the view is in the morning. A mix of solar cells, car park, sheep grazing and (I think) the town of Burley in Wharfedale across the valley. All very good

The tradition continues; 2 boxes of Birds strawberry trifle mix in a big 1970’s Pyrex bowl. Merry Christmas everyone, if you celebrate.

Being ‘home’ offers the opportunity see beautiful places like Balmedie beach.The sun just sneaking through the clouds on a crisp day you can make out a line of offshore supply vessels leaving Aberdeen to the South. As an aside, there is a Trump golf course along the coast and he hates the wind farm.

Perks of the job. London Skyline today looking South East(ish) towards the city from a roof in Holborn.
