Just learnt a new term - ‘natal cleft’. Etymologically interesting…

I gather some people just aren’t into music. Not just that they occupy a different niche, or they like whatever’s on the radio… they just don’t do music. Weird.

Anyone well versed in kvass? I’ve soaked all my stale bread in 3 litres of water, and can only extract about 2 cups of liquid out of it. Twisting it up in cheesecloth and everything. About to give up.. suggestions welcome for putting soggy, stale bread to good use. #ferment #kvass

Thanks to @rhysmwyn.bsky.social for spinning ‘Dim Syniad’ on BBC Radio Cymru last night! (Sadly BBC Sounds has truncated the show 30 minutes in, my punishment for not listening live?) Here’s the song at any rate! 😊 youtu.be/aVBJOIx5k8Q?...

I think people have rituals around their crosswording. This is one of mine. Did it once as a joke, then realised it’s much nicer not having google logos elbowing their way in to my crossword enjoyment!

Does anyone else remember arranging themselves upside down on a chair as a kid and imagining yourself walking around on the ceiling as if it was the floor? This seemed a simple trick both physically and mentally, but I’m having trouble recreating it…

Nature putting my convictions to the test. House going on the market any minute, and this appears in the garage. My inclination would be to leave em to it, but not sure prospective buyers would feel quite so benevolent. Phone for scale.

A wasps’ nest the size of a large orange, around head height on a garage door jamb. A phone of roughly the same width is being held next to it.

Is this teabag tag offering insight or just calling me self-absorbed?

A teabag tag dangling from a cup. The tag bears a supposedly motivational message which reads “You don’t experience what is real. You experience what you believe.” The image background contains a printout of a cryptic crossword and a window letting in morning light.

Things getting a bit surreal on this team call. Guy talking about issues with a customer, telling us it’s all gone tomato. I was thinking, is this some new expression? Turns out he’s talking about someone on the customer side called Marta. Hopefully she approves it. 🍅

Ok… not bad for starters. Dodgy digiscoped pic, but.. yup, that’s a White Stork just mooching around. Now watching a second one fly off with some nesting material. Oh look, and there’s the nest. And a herd of deer. I’m about 50 metres in from the gate. Gosh.

Staying for a couple of days at a prominent rewilding site in southern England. I’m really looking forward to the mind blowing nature encounters, but just now the dominant impression is of REALLY LOUD road and air traffic. Plus lots and lots of bunnies.

Happen to be hearing snatches of Radio 2 today… god, it’s just terminally stuck in time. Walk of Life? I remember a schoolmate ticking me off for humming that *forty years ago*, as it was a dull throwback of a song even then…

I remember ‘Look and Learn’. I remember my dad giving me a few copies when I was about 5 or 6, then encouraging me to respond to anyone asking what I liked to do: “I like to look at ‘Look and Learn’ and learn.” It felt a bit cringe even then, but full marks dad for wordplay, and hey, it stuck.

The idea of rain is worse than the rain itself. It’s (usually) just pleasant and refreshing to be out in it. I’d really like to do better at remembering this.

Democratic duty done! Potential flaws in the new 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 voting system but I have to say it felt nice casting a vote for the first time in years with first-past-the-post nowhere in sight!

Grab the nearest book, post the second sentence on p. 42. I did it, and hurried out of the silence of the building back to the street, where the rush hour was already beginning to subside.

Come on @libdems.org.uk Seriously? - Using a sum of council by-election outcomes to suggest voting intention within a Senedd constituency ❌ - Comparing Wales-only party @plaidcymru.bsky.social’s figure against *UK-wide* result for all other parties 🤦 1/2

A Lib Dem election letter showing a graph that represents something completely different from what the text claims. Page title reads “Election latest update - the Lib Dem’s are beating Reform UK”

An election letter from the Lib Dems claiming that “this election is a straight fight between Reform UK and the Welsh Liberal Democrats”, which is contrary to all polling for this election.
