Okay new learning for today - the tills at the supermarket need to be age authorised even for non alcoholic beer.

Eton Dorney. The first skylarks are out high in the sparkling blue sky. It’s stunning.

I married a Canadian and our kids now have Canadian passports. Love the place. Love the Canadian-ness of 'elbows up'. A bright light in the news cycle.

I’m a fan of an Olympic montage at the best of times but this is simply a stunning piece of film making. youtu.be/XMnoqKs4ZqQ

Holy moly - look at that. Is that on the rowing bucket list?

Early river walks make me envious of those dawn outings.

A rowing eight is silhouetted by the rising sun. The sky is golden.

I’ve never listened to more than 60secs of any Archers episode in my life. But I’ve had more details in the last 50 days in here than 50 years prior. Panto etc.

A propos of absolutely nothing - was yoghurt (particularly plain) just not a thing in 70's Britain? I have absolutely no memory of it before being a teenager and now it's sort of taken over as a fridge staple.

Fruit tea is horrendous. Smells like "fruits of the forest", looks pleasingly red as it carefully steeps exactly as directed on the packet. But tastes like it once met a blackberry, but only by chance, in 1995, at a work conference, in Brighton, but it might have been a redcurrant.

One of the recent Mayors the UK knighted was Rudolph Giuliani so interesting comparison. Your regular reminder that "Arise Sir...." is not part of the knight's investiture.

Why is my brain organised so that a) I forget a relatively significant task (easily accomplished) for all of yesterday and simultaneously b) it stores away the name of the guy who liked the shaver so much he bought the company. Victor Kiam. WHY?

Self reflection doesn't seem to be coming to the fore with the man.

If you are in favour of bodily autonomy (and I am) I cant see if you agree with the safeguards (and I do) how you would oppose the assisted dying bill.

Matt Pinsent @mattpinsent.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Guest on @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social LBC claims the assisted dying legislation as written can’t prevent another Harold Shipman because the authorising doctors aren’t recorded on death certificate. I don’t see that logic at all.

I seem to have hit a seam of avgeek on here. I mean it’s all lovely … there’s a lot of airports and planes. And wings. And routes. What’s the transponder code for ‘I’m okay with this’?

For the record, I complained about behaviour I witnessed on Masterchef in 2012. They knew then. They knew before then and they’ve known since.

At Infinity’s official launch (a start up rowing club in Middlesborough). Dozens of kids already engaged in the sport. Such a great base and initiative.

Too many folks never paid attention to the most important part of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and now we're all about to pay the price.

Putting the functionality back in where the other place was stripping it away - is great.

Nice to come in here bimble about a bit, click on a few things/people and bimble out again without having a scrap with someone. Huh. “Go figure”. Missed that.

Do you know the best thing about this place? You see a post and think "oh that's interesting" - click on it - and the replies are all to do with the first post. No ads, all relevant, no links to stuff that the "funeral industry doesn't want you to know about" etc. Long may that last.

BlueSky functionality There was a little grey + symbol on accounts you didnt follow. It's gone (maybe that is just me though). Now my timeline speeds by like the prize conveyor belt on Generation Game - fondue set, oooh ooooh 4 slice toaster, game of boules with picnic rug.

I’m going to build a rowing Bluesky list. It’s small and pretty general at the moment - but it’s pinned. If you like rowing you can use it, if you’re actively involved rower/parent/volunteer that’s enough - you’re on it. If we build it - it will be better.

This feels a bit like being in a new supermarket (abroad maybe) and going wait what fruit do they have? I want to see the biscuit aisle. Oooh wine is going to be good. Etc.

So far a big part of my Saturday has been reorganising the spice rack. And yes I am entirely serious and no it’s not a euphemism and yes it’s now very nice.

Okay let’s see how this goes then.

Picture of the cutest dog you can imagine on some grass in the sun. He’s brown and labrador size but he’s a Greek rescue.
