Also last summer, my car broke down on a busy road and RAC took five hours to come to me, late into the night. Super kind man in house right by where I was brought me drinks and sandwiches (his prepped work lunch for the next day).
Last summer holidaying in Greece I fell on an uneven path, badly bloodying my knee. A very old woman saw & came out of her house to help -no common language between us but she knew what was needed immediately insisting I took a seat. She went indoors, then returned with water, swabs and iodine.
Analysts told me that they agree with @amnesty.org in that Israel's genocide in Gaza is not over.
The mass killing has slowed but the conditions for life & society have been destroyed and are not being allowed to be rebuilt.

You do grumpycat, I’ll throw in #MadcatTabby #Caturday - (though, tbf, she’s a Scot). Let’s face it, Calcifer trumps all/most. Good to see him xx
Big guns hah!
Ohhhh - the gorgeous Calcifer!!!😍
Ok, tabbies is it…? Going to make you work for this on #Caturday #CamuflageCats #CatsOfSymi
. @commonmugwort.bsky.social because I know you like a good view through a portal … Greetings from a small island #youknowwhere 😘
Oh, wait, not British …doh!
Disgraceful. No words really. These are monsters in human shape - I don’t know how they sleep. I hope they don’t.
Yup - scarring.
As we enjoy their daily aerobatics & celebrate our neighbourhood’s luck in having space for swift nests, we know their numbers are seriously declining elsewhere. So, this is puzzling & deeply disappointing to read www.theguardian.com/environment/...
What happened?!@catsmithmp.bsky.social
Once more, with feeling:
Lots of people are busily showing us who they are.
Believe them.
They tried to cancel John Crace from covering the right-wing jamboree at ExCel but no one can stop him filing copy this good

Yep - same here! Still. 😌
I’ve hit the “this time last week” yearning ❤️. Wasn’t it all fabulous? Feels a bit of a dream now .
“Sometimes all we can do is keep the subtle flame of integrity lit.”
What I needed to read today.
What - You don’t have this?! - well, that is disappointing. But hey, there’s hope….you have a cellar?…
From Sunset, to Homelands, Heart attack to endorphins released! Incredibly moving night, at a time where humanity is being tested, ‘We stand United, one broken heart’ Wow 🙏🏻 @nitinsawhney.bsky.social @the_halle @bridgewaterhall

The most magnificent concert of music with @NitinSawhney.bsky.social
& his amazing accompanying musicians @BridgewaterHall with the Hallé orchestra. Including incredible creation of ‘Heart Attack’ piece. Taking us through his scary experience earlier this year. Astonishing. 👏🏽👏🏽❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always! How could you not ?! 😘
For anyone who needs reminding of this truth
Very much looking forward to this -after so many near misses, it looks like I’ll make it to a concert - it’s been sooo many years (North Shields/Newcastle Riverside I think). Call me excited 😍!
Yup - good plan 😊
Same …it’s like the room at the party no one lingered in earlier in the evening that as the night develops gets some of the best people hanging out creating a buzz…a gentle one…but a buzz nonetheless 😊
Playing during an arts event/installation at the legendary #TheBlackie, Liverpool …1983ish?!
Quote post with a picture of you from the 80s:
Oh, actually, I think your is more ‘advanced’ than mine. Mine was mad up of letters and characters (&@@&;:&) when you looked closely and you saw the face when at arms length. Brilliant blast from the past that I’d completely forgotten.
Haha! You’ve broken a memory for me - I had one of these - I’m half thinking it was done while on holiday in Blackpool around 1970 …or maybe at school by an amazing teacher who used to do lots of exciting tech and science stuff to engage us kids. Need to dig deep in my old scull to sort that out!
Oh and music, politics (a bit) gardens, food and words - in whatever medium. Going to follow a few promising looking peeps. If I’ve been connected before -hello again. If I’ve happily discovered you here ‘hello!’ 🙋♀️
