Didn't think of my self as TOO much of a fan, but it is embarrassing how much I want these. (or it will be, if I tap ‘Post’… oops). @hellishpod.com can explain for you.

Of course it’s time for the Hellish Picture Quiz (tm). Can you guess four of @juniperific.bsky.social ‘s 5 Hellish song choices from these photo teasers? If you need a hand, just listen to this week’s fantastic pod. Clue. The sheep is fat.

The Train Line has just messaged me to say that the 17:13 to Paddington won’t be stopping at Paddington. I wonder if whoever wrote that bit of code understands what happens if a train just keeps on going at the end of the line?

Seeing the total solar eclipse put the moon into my wonderful honeymoon with the amazing @arianesherine.bsky.social - holding her and looking out as we felt the world physically change for a few seconds was absolutely magical; being married is even better. ❤️ (all my own photos)

Apols for invading your timelines with shameless self-promotion but if your kids received gift cards for Christmas, might I suggest pointing them in the direction of my Notwitches books? They've had some very nice things said about them lately, and book 1 was in The I Paper's 14 Best Books of 2025.🧙‍♀️

"Some books make reading an irresistible joy, and The Notwitches is one of them."
The I Paper
14 Best Children's Books of 2025

"The dialogue feels indebted to the surrealist humour of Blackadder or Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the short, funny chapters zip along. A triumph of nonsense."
The Times
Children's Book of the Week

"Brimming with magical moments, loathesome villains, unexpected heroes and an almost-talking cat, The Notwitches has a big heart and the spirit and effervescence of Roald Dahl."
Lancashire Post

"Gary Panton writes with an unmatvhed exuberance. I've not laughed so hard when reading a book for a very lomg time."
Armadillo online magazine

As seen in Bath yesterday, is it a Cathedral or is it that blood cells diagram from my school textbooks? Platelet counts don’t feel very Christmassy to me!

I don’t drink that much these days, but I did swing by The Cock with my beautiful girlfriend @arianesherine.bsky.social last night and noticed that “Man in the box” lager is now just “Man painted on a cube”. When did this tragedy occur?

This week I got to see and feel what several years and thousands of pounds could do to my camera of choice for a few minutes. But, you know, that dirt and grime, that’s “love” - you can’t buy that. I can’t change. Nothing to do with affordability… nothing… 🧐

Ok, so I’ve got to admit I’m a little impressed; at no point in several minutes of scrolling have I seen the same clip of a rocket. Now as soon as @bounder creates BlueSky panto it’ll be truly like the old days!

So, I'm pretty sure this is not the time to try a new social media platform, but if its as lovely and forgiving as I hope and need it to be after the end of the twit-X-storm, perhaps it’ll be OK!
