I'm sure everyone already has a gazillion puzzle/quiz games on their phone? No? Just me then!? 😊 I've just been sent this by a friend who thought I did not have enough of them - share.google/5IAp2flYpOfn... Will appeal to geography types in particular. Much like maptap this is showing me up!!

Just dipped into the Hundred game purely to watch Thomas Rew bat. Very small crowd at the Rose Bowl (or whatever it is currently called). General lack of excitement all round.

It's a shame that @sgfmann.bsky.social and friends have stopped doing the newspaper front and back pages for us. I used to look forward to them. 😕

Just watched the Champions League semi. It may be an age thing but we found the constant racket from those wretched drums incredibly wearing. Ended up watching with the sound off. PSG will take some beating in the final.

Ooh! After a few hours I have the chance to check the score, that is looking much more positive! 182/8. Well done Lewis! 👏👏 #WeAreSomerset #SOMvYOR

I was excited to check Cricinfo and see that Somerset had Yorkshire 3 down already. Less excited to see that Root and Bairstow were together at the crease! #WeAreSomerset #SOMvYOR

Actually watching the final of #TheTraitors live rather than on catch-up so able to unmute the hash tag and join in the chat. Still hoping that the FBI trained woman gets voted out.

Friday afternoon timeline cleanser. Here is Ollie, our ex street cat, sat on my desk. He looks harmless enough but he does not like my mouse and is often prone to try to attack it.

A dark brown/black cat called Ollie sat on a desk, not actually helping with any office work though. Just ready to pounce on the mouse (just out of picture!).

I just deactivated my X account, I've not posted there for a few years, never read anything there but kept the account out of habit. No idea why it's taken me so long to do that. I feel better about myself now.

Have eaten far too much (Christmas toad in the hole with all the usual stuff like roasties and stuffing,). Oversized cheesecake to tackle later. Hope everyone is having a good day or at least the best day they can manage. #JoinIn

Advantages of working from home #1 Have snuck off to the kitchen to start making a sour dough starter (previous attempts have not gone well) Have scoured internet for uses for leftover marzipan (discovering a muffin recipe that can be adapted) Spending a few minutes with the cat (priceless) 🐱

So I've been chatting with them. Now have a slot on Sunday instead of Tuesday and a total of £45 worth of vouchers by way of apology. Less annoyed now as we can treat ourselves to some extravagant extras with the vouchers. 😀 The cat is expecting some bonus Dreamies.

Julia from Cats in Charge @julia-w.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

So we've had a slot booked for Christmas delivery with ASDA for over a month now. This morning they cancelled it with no explanation at all. We may have to actually go to a supermarket instead now. Not something I ever want to do at Christmas. Grrrr...

It was a grim weekend and today is in many ways not a lot better. So as a distraction here is Ollie the Cat looking grumpy because he always considers that he has not yet been fed enough. Those eyes. Does he look thin? No he does not! I hope everyone is having a good Monday. 🙂

Woke up this morning and checked the score on CricInfo. Thought we were all out for 70 and that the Aussies we 274/2. The day improved massively once I put my specs on! Just watched the TNT highlights. The commentary really is bad. Makes you realise how good Sky is. #Ashes

Julia from Cats in Charge @julia-w.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

So two overnight takes from the cricket. I'm glad I slept through most of it. I seem to be following a lot of England supporters here on Blue Sky. Been great fun reading back and seeing the doom and gloom turning to hope! #Ashes

Firmly ensconced on the sofa for the rest of the day watching the #RyderCup. Wonderful start from Europe and their team spirit looks great. Fingers crossed they can keep it up.

Desparately ill judged Strands from NYTimes today. They are a newspaper, they should be aware of what is happening in the world, particularly the USA in this instance.

Julia from Cats in Charge @julia-w.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Many authors use the word 'leaden' to describe grey skies. PD James, Carlos Ruiz Zafón (albeit in translation) and CJ Sansom to name just three. It's a perfect word to describe a dull, overcast sky but I don't think that it is a word people ever use in normal conversation. Am I right or wrong? 📚👀

I'm not a luddite. I like technology stuff. I have lots of gadgets. But if I see one more thing today offering me the opportunity to use bloody AI to make everything quicker, cleverer, whatever, I fear I am going to throw everything out of the window. 😡

Our rescue cat Ollie has a variety of lovely sleeping places - a sunny window sill, various sofas, a nice fabric footstool, a bed, and so on. So where is he sleeping? Yup - on top of two scratching boards. You have to love cats.

When you visit Temu and inadvertantly leave your email address there this is what happens. I've never purchased from them but they seem keen on getting orders from me. From the comments I see some of their stuff is OK, some is quite deplorable, and some is just plain average. Lottery purchasing!

I'm a huge fan of The West Wing and have always planned to visit Washington at some point. But given that you can now be refused access to the USA based on what you've said on social media about the deranged orange lunatic I think it best that I stay away for the next four years. 🤔

While loafing around online this morning I stumbled across this recipe, now all I can think about is berry cheesecake. Is this cake healthy? We've been trying to convince ourselves that the berries and oatmeal will counterbalance the cream cheese and sugar. We've not convinced ourselves yet. 🍽️

#question What’s your favorite #quote from a #book? Whether it’s something profound, comforting, or just beautifully written, I’d love to know the lines that have stuck with you. Share your favorites! #booksky #reader 💙📚👀

From book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. From Shadow in the Wind. “Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day.”

I earlier saw Elon Musk described as the world's biggest pub bore and I've been chuckling ever since. It is just the most perfect description of him. Kudos to whoever came up with that.

Just browsing through the latest special offers on Audible. It's annoying when the special offer is book 3/4/5 and so on of a series. I want to read a series in order not all higgledy-piggledy! I'm sure there is a reason why they do this but it escapes me. 💙📚👀

Had a quiet day planned today. Then we popped into Aldi for a few bits and bobs. They had large red cabbages for 8 pence each. We got three. Some hours later we had a large batch of red cabbage ready for Christmas day and the freezer too. Rewarding but really hard work! 🍽️
