Yay! Your team won. Gosh, it is hot where you are. A lot cooler here now. Have a great week, and take it easy in that heat!

He was soooo pessimistic at the start of the game, very happy now! I’m taking nothing for granted in this game with the Patriots 😬 Good luck to the Niners for later 👍

It was a bit touch and go with the Bills wasn’t it 🫣 And husband is over the moon about the Colts. 49ers doing well so far!! Have a successful game and a good week 🤗

Hey @messicat.bsky.social thank you. We have just taken a friend of husband’s out for dinner so have surreptitiously followed the Bill’s progress on my phone 😂 Heading home now though! Don’t really know a lot about the Cowboys but would tend to root for Ravens. Good luck Niners for later on!

Well, that definitely makes up for the lack of fence then!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I’m sorry, but isn’t that kind of conversation meant to be carried out over the garden fence? I thought that was a law or something?!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Yes, it can be so tense being a fan! 😬 On Sundays we get 3 games and RedZone at 6pm, and then 1 game at 9pm. So if they are games we are interested in ie Bills or Colts we will watch the whole game, otherwise, like yesterday, we watch RedZone, I wanted to keep an eye on the Eagles & also Ravens.

Happy Birthday Stephen, we’re very glad you made it to 79; here’s to many more birthdays to come 🥳

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Hey @messicat.bsky.social I don’t think you need to have any worries about the 49ers not achieving 2-0 by the end of today’s game. Enjoy it! 😊

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Oh no! Heartbreaking 💔 I’m so sorry. Sending you hugs.

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Hey @messicat.bsky.social Yes! So happy 😂 Too late for me to watch though, I must be getting old 😆

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I based my university dissertation on class consciousness in the novels of Thomas Hardy with particular reference to Tess of the d’Urbervilles & Jude the Obscure. It was a laugh a minute! But it meant I read Tess many times 😂

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Thank you. Soooo excited, but yes, it will be a tough game. I will be watching through my fingers again, without a doubt! Impressive win by the Niners, I smiled to myself the following morning as I knew you would be pleased!! #GoBills

011

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Wow! I generally wake up at 7am 😂 If it’s a Bills game then I quite often sit up and watch them until the early hours, but not for any other team, I have to admit!

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I didn’t realise there were any injuries until I saw your reply. We just watched the last quarter of the game just now. I’m afraid I probably won’t sit up until 1:35am to watch the game, but hope for a win for the Niners. Yes, I love our exchanges during the season, & different perspectives 😊

110

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Hey! @messicat.bsky.social Good luck to the Niners tonight. An historic occasion with it being in Melbourne. Enjoy the game!

Saw a beautiful rainbow this evening as we drove through the countryside. It was an unexpected pleasure to see it.

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Looks like a great shop, wish I lived near enough to pay it a visit!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Hey, @messicat.bsky.social It’s beautiful isn’t it? I particularly like yellow flowers. How lovely.

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Let’s see how our teams fare against the Rams and the Texans. You take care until then too 👍

He and his wife were very fortunate that they didn’t lose their home, weren’t they. Just writing this as we’re having a terrific thunderstorm, the thunder just now made me jump out of my skin! 😳

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

That is a lovely family photo, you all look so relaxed and happy together. I can imagine your brother calming and reassuring people whilst he was firefighting. I would love to grow marijuana in the garden here, but I would be arrested and get about 20 years for it!! 👮 😂

110

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Oh my goodness, how terrifying for you! You’ve got to respect firefighters haven’t you. My maternal grandfather was a fireman, he passed away when I was only about 4, but I do remember him, and how safe I felt with this big, tall man! I’m fine thank you, just been gardening- for a change 🤣

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Oooh Arthur, I’m all of a flutter 🫣

Not exactly noir, but a film I can watch time and time again.

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

A wonderful weekend gift! Thank you 🤩

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Crackling fires (where they should be), a pile of books to be read, and a large glass of red wine. Bliss!!

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Yes, I remember you commenting about your new appreciation of rain! It’s going to get a bit cooler over the weekend for us, which is good because right at the moment I feel like I’m melting 🫠 You have a lovely weekend too, I hope you’ve got some good plans for it.

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Hey @messicat.bsky.social that’s lovely. We also give the birds seed, and they just poo on our outdoor furniture 😂 As we have drought we have concentrated on pots this year. Poor trees at the back are shedding their leaves already!! Only been here 2 years, so lots to do developing the garden.

110

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Maybe Mike Scott was doing a bit of prescient wishful thinking when he wrote ‘I saw the rain dirty valley, you saw the whole of the moon’!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

You MUST read it!!! I read it in my early 20s, and finished it on a train on my way to work. It made me feel horrible for the rest of the day, but in a good way, if you see what I mean!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

The confrontation between the governess and Miles at the end of The Turn of the Screw - absolutely chilling!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I wouldn’t mind being bundled into a van filled with comics though!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Can't see Arthur's Woman's Own though, hope you didn't forget it!

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

We’ve had a cooler day today and it’s been wonderful! Lovely to hear from you today 😊

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Hey there, I may be wrong, but I don’t think we get tv access to the pre season games here in the UK. We will get wall to wall soccer from now on though! I am eager for the regular season to start and I will see my beloved Bills again. We celebrate husband’s birthday round about the same time!

110

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

That’s so funny about your siblings!! I used to detest Margaret Thatcher. You have good knowledge of our former PMs. I’m not sure about Andy Burnham, time will tell I suppose. I think he was very popular as mayor of Manchester though. I’m glad they did s’thing nice for the Argentinian team.

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Shame that Messi’s last World Cup ended that way. We shall chat again soon, I’m sure! You have a great week too. Big political day in the UK today, new PM (again)! 🙄

110

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Is it only 53 days?? Yippeee !! I’m glad your husband has enjoyed the WC, I think the excitement of it is easy to get caught up in. Enjoy the 2nd half, let’s hope there is a score and no need for extra time and possibly penalties. Penalties are unbearable!! 😳😂

110

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Hey! @messicat.bsky.social Enjoy! Hope it’s an exciting game. How many millions around the world are watching, I wonder.

130

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

I must admit I was so tired I went to bed and just kept an eye on the score, but seems like it was a crazy game! I shall watch the highlights today. Enjoy the final later, I expect Messi will be amazing; it should be an interesting match 😊

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Thank you, I fell asleep, so have only just seen the score !! What am I like 😂

110

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

He was good wasn’t he. My husband is not a fan of Jordan Pickford, because he feels Pickford can be panicked by an opposing team, and can be hot-headed, but had to admit that he did well in last night’s semi!

010

joannathomas.bsky.social @joannathomas.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

😂😂 That is! Thank you for sharing 😊 Husband and I went out for breakfast this morning, and then to do some grocery shopping, and despite it being a nice, sunny day, the mood in England is gloomy today!! So your posts cheered me up, thank you 🤩
