Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Watched Carrie, thought it was pretty decent. I couldn’t have Carrie’s powers though. My list of enemies for various small slights is so large I’d be spending the rest of my time exacting revenges, for example, on that guy who didn’t wave back when I let him in at a T junction. 240

Reposted by BoabsSam Weller @samwellerauthor.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky 451651648

Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I was out with my 32 year old son on Friday who’s a periodic reader and at the bookshop he said “I’ve heard of this book about a pensioner going into space…” and before he could finish I’d picked a copy of OMW up, paid for it, thrust it into his hands and said “enjoy.” 1190

Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026From afar Haaland, sitting upon his throne of deflated footballs, will watch as his former City home diminishes and falls a thousand leagues, reduced to contesting the Oldham Sunday Pub League. King Haaland will slowly shake his head. 100
Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Once there, he may tell tales amongst his tribe of his travels, and the fall of the City empire, so no Haaland would ever repeat the mistakes of the past. Then, doning a hat made of undeclared gold and peacock feathers, he would become the King of Haaland. 100
Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That Haaland seems like a nice bloke. While all this turmoil is going on I might sneak an offer in for him. If successful, we shall sit in a field and do the vking rowing thing and then I will release him into the wild so he may fly free, back to the home of the Haalands. 140

To those who didn’t? 😘 12828
Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I would 100% watch this. It’s such an fantastic tale. Why an original series like yours isn’t made instead of the endless rehashes like Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica etc is beyond me. 210
Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That was daily and every Sunday the steel bath would come out for a weekly bath in our tiny living room. Toilet was an outhouse. Sounds like the 1800s dunnit? Nope. This was recent (to me), the 70’s. 020
Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Currently having a new bathroom installed so for a couple of days I’ve been giving my self a jolly good flanneling at the kitchen sink and it’s taken me back to childhood memories of sitting on the draining board with my feet in the sink having my legs scrubbed by my nan. 120

Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 03/09/2026For the first time ever I witnessed a phone snatcher being chased by the phone’s owner, who was catching up. This led to said thief dropping the phone in order to avoid a shoeing from his much bigger, faster, furious pursuer, who retrieved his phone. Felt like I was watching an episode of The Bill. 040

Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Saw a dead fox this morning. It was lying on a grass verge next to the pavement I was walking on. Just a yard from the road so I assume it got clipped by a car. It was unmarked and lying perfectly on its side. Recent demise too. Made me pretty sad for the rest of my walk to work. 120
