Welcome to the joy and stress of sunny/dull days. Wait till it gets to late autumn and you have to draw full price electricity. 😡

This nails it.

As a former vetting officer I think you’re right and this cartoon about nails it. FCDO just about squeaks through with their process. Starmer exposed for poor judgement from get go and not understanding how vetting actually works in practice. Robbins presented as an honest, career public servant.

Olly getting pushed under the bus but it misses him and flattens Starmer

Russia still allowed to keep selling now unsanctioned oil of their own though. And making a ton of money for the war effort? Have I understood the situation correctly??

Similar, with a shower head from B&Q. As no longer stocked they refused my return. No receipt. Change of mind. Argued for cash refund. Loyal customer, spends good money with them etc. Store manager eventually overruled customer services. Got home and wife reminded me I’d bought it from Wickes.

It’s getting a greenhouse that should worry you. T’is truly the end approaching at that point…

Gregory’s Girl

Did audiobook last year. Watched film a few hours ago. Really enjoyed both. Might have to read Artemis now…

I’m proper happy being retired but barely enough hours in the day. Parish councillor, dog owner/walker, daily gym user, swimmer, greenhouse tinkerer, allotment, path warden, village magazine distributor, community DIYer, active neighbour socials, cooking/baking experimenter (Dundee cake my latest)

Trump TS post featuring an illustration of himself as a Christian faith healer

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

If Hungary can oust Orban imagine what the US mid terms could look like. If they happen, un-rigged by MAGA that it. 🤞

Has always been thus. But also, it’s mine and when I have a shower I’ll wash it as vigorously as I like.

The eBook of Castle is only 99p right now.

Repost this for a chance to win a signed copy of the original hardback edition.

You’re well overdue a break from the endless madness. Probably be quiet, calm and pretty normal for a bit anyway…

This is all so bizarre. What next? 😱

This is now me… 👍

@garethepps.bsky.social had a strange chap at my door earlier. Door chime not loud enough to hear in the garden. Apologies!

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

Isn’t it…

Trump just posted this without context, this could mean anything from a rambling press conference to nukes being dropped on Tehran at this point.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

you know the way "why did the Roman Empire fall" and "what are the causes of the First World War" are big questions that sort of function like Rorsharch tests, allowing people to debate ultimately inexplicable moments in history? "Why did no one stop Trump" a decent future shout for the third.

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

We all just know he and Hegseth (and probably Netanyahu) trembling with excitement at the prospect of US military being first to use a tactical nuke. It’s way past time they were taken into custody in straight jackets and adults put back in charge.

Yep. Don’t go all @iandunt.bsky.social on air!

To everyone celebrating Easter, Michelle and I wish you a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope.

Concur. Had expected better. Anyway, it’s looking likely they’ll have to put on a skit on mushroom clouds next Saturday. ☢️ 💣 🍄‍🟫 ☁️

King might feel a funny turn coming on and have to cancel…🤞

King should exercise his royal prerogative. At his age a ‘health issue’ that would prevent travel seems increasingly likely…
