Well then, thanks to a *tremendously* generous donation from @thinkbroadband.com we now need to work out hug delivery logistics for GoFibre's Digby. Digby's next challenge is reaching £1k for Little Hearts Matter:

Interesting trajectory at the start of 2021. Presume this was the 'bullwhip' effect of people deciding to work remotely a year in to lockdown?
NEW: We often hear that Scotland’s more progressive income tax is “driving people out the country.”
New HMRC data shows the opposite. Far more taxpayers are moving to Scotland than leaving it.
Let’s look at the data 🧵
Just £1 (one single pound!) away from raising £16,000 for Summer Hockey for Sophie.
The next donor wins a crocheted easter chick to hide chocolate in....

Thank you!!
So good to see an active and friendly face from the old bird site on here! Hello 👋
Thank you! We are working towards raising £60k in memory of Sophie. Should hit that target with our charity hockey tournament in May.
Now just £32 shy of £6k to support larger scale events and raffles for Little Hearts Matter. Thank you for the share @snarkymimi.bsky.social Anyone else active here?!

Just £137 short of raising £6,000 to fund charity events for Little Hearts Matter. Can anyone help by spreading the word here on Bluesky?

How is everyone out there in the Bluesky? Seems very quiet. Is it as lovely, warm, and mad, as it was in the early days of Twitter? Or just not happening. Just found Joe Lycett tweets from the 2009 @edfringe.bsky.social #TwingeParty @ewanmcintosh.bsky.social

Would love to engage @thejamtarts.bsky.social in my year of fundraising for Little Hearts Matter. cc @thefoh.bsky.social @clairehammond.bsky.social The day before Sophie passed away, Hearts FC team doctor, Mr Brenkel, delivered a heartwarming babygrow signed by players and staff. ❤️
42 day fitness challenge for Sophie, who was with us for just 42 days, and who would have been ten years old today. We are hoping to raise £10k for Little Hearts Matter. Please share!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Some hares 'playing' at Loch Leven NNR under an almost full Worm Moon & sunset. Hello @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @rspbscotland.bsky.social @magssgp.bsky.social @foescot.bsky.social @aprscotland.bsky.social @scotlink.bsky.social

Just checked the last six months of half-hourly smart meter data to ensure my @octopus.energy billing is correct; which it is. w00t @philsteele.bsky.social Benefitted from a whopping 618kWh (£166) of free/powerup electricity over this period. That's over 2,000 EV miles. Cheers! #FutureGrid

Just read through my School Reports for S1 to S3 (1989-1991) and don't know whether to laugh or cry. This is a howler though...
Minus 7°C this morning. Solar panels are steaming in the winter sun!
Have set my alarm for 6.55am to make sure all the automation works. How sad? 🤣
Talk to me Goose.

@markcresswell.bsky.social I thought three was excessive. But would happily double this up!!
Octopus Power Up. Must be regional.

Who doesn’t like 2 hours of free electricity between 8pm-10pm when it’s minus 6°C overnight! Thanks Octopus, that will see us through until the sunshine tomorrow and then some. Plus it has made me do the dishes and three loads of laundry 🤣
@foundationsofthedigitalstate.com Interesting video summary. I watched at 1.5X speed to give it an edge. Check out this 25 year old video (twenty five years!!) from BT's 'stepchange' eGovernment team: youtu.be/vf6cOjrH9H0?...
Now that my report for Scottish Government, The Foundations Of The Digital State is out, y'all should invite me to speak at your workplaces, events and think tanks, to appear on your podcasts and write for your publications ;-)
