My first post on Bluesky for ages. Happy new year!

I love Dance Yourself Dizzy #ChooseTheChoons

If that is the build I'm using now, I am afraid the Notifications area is no longer really that usable with a screen-reader. In the Notifications list, it will tell you that someone has liked a post, but it no longer says what the post is. So you've no idea about the content people are engaging in.

Thank you for fixing screen-reader issues. I was managing fine without the improvements but obviously they are welcome.

In the words of The Beatles, the Beeskie app for Bluesky is getting better all the time!

A good day work-wise. Looking through the diary, it suddenly struck me today how near Christmas actually is. It might seem obvious but when you have appointments in front of you it brings it home.

That's the kind of food we like.

Now reading Jackie Collins' Lovers and Gamblers.

Morning everyone. I had a bit of a groggy head first thing this morning. We talked for hours last night. When we get talking, we don't tend to stop and I had quite a few drinks. But I'm OK. Have a good day!

I now have an easier way to post to Bluesky. Let's see if it works.

My first post.
