microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 20/09/2026A beautiful sunny morning at Roker. Still quite cool in the water though (14.5 deg C) & has probably already peaked for the year. 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Sunderland's new Culture House is rather special. 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Sunderland Wall redecorated for an "ice" climbing competition. 020
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Quick trip to Bishop Auckland - very pretty & posh but also slightly derelict in places. Most tourist attractions *very* expensive & not child- friendly, but viewing tower & deer park were great. 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 10/05/2026The bijou Oriental Museum in Durham is definitely one of my favourites. A great collection, really thoughtfully & atmospherically displayed. Also very good for kids. 020
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Whatever happens tomorrow at least local elections Facebook should calm down a bit 🙏 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 15/04/2026BISMiS Live #53 @ 0700 GMT (😭) on 18th April 2026. Dr Teo Wee Fei Aaron presents "Notes on the description of novel prokaryotic taxa". www.bismis.net/bismislive.php 000
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Actually maybe this is the more relevant poll. 220
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I thought the exact opposite was true? 100
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Afternoon in Watergate Forest Park, which was very peaceful & unexpectedly lovely. Followed by some amazing Georgian food in Byker. 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Unstable-looking stack at Ryhope Beach (spectacular views & usually not a soul about). 000
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 21/03/2026The beautiful tiled interior of The Mountain Daisy (1901) in Millfield , Sunderland. 040
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Sunderland climbing wall - a beautiful bright & frosty morning outside but somehow feels much colder in here 🥶 020
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Wasn't expecting this Ukrainian dry red (from Lidl) to be quite so delicious. Слава українському вину! 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 23/02/2026It surprises me when I notice signs like this in 2026 (and they are still everywhere if you look). You'd think people would scrub away these reminders at the first opportunity, but for some reason that don't / can't. 110
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 18/02/2026SAFC posted Ramadan Mubarak earlier on FB and people whinged so much they had to post a "Peaceful Lent" message. But I don't remember anyone who wasn't a priest *ever* saying that to me before - surely it's not a thing? 210
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Surprise gastronomic discovery today - delicious pupusas (stuffed tacos) the national dish of El Salvador, from a tiny takeaway that's just opened on Holmeside, Sunderland. 030
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Enjoyed the new SpongeBob movie. Partly cos the soundtrack features Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys, one of the first 7" singles I ever loved. Instrumental version too so no lyrical cringe 👍 020
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 21/12/2025This is interesting, although they rather breezily dismissed concerns about pathogenicity I thought. Antitumor gut microbiota from amphibians & reptiles: Ewingella americana as novel therapeutic agent with dual cytotoxic & immunomodulatory properties. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 15/11/2025To Durham this evening for the last ever Lumiere. Maybe it's gilding the lily, but I thought the cathedral was spectacular & well worth the 25 minute queue. 020
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 12/10/2025Autumnal reggae: Time is the Master by John Holt (composer, Harry Mudie). youtu.be/UwtAUamtTp8?... 100
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Half my holiday reading. Pandemic settings helped me remember some unpleasant stuff I forgot (COVID years mostly quite fuzzy for me). Some nice geographical resonances (lived nearby for a while & married in Bournville). An enjoyable, thought-provoking & sometimes moving novel, with some clunky bits. 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Fully in hot holiday mode: cicadas in my ears, bitrex on my tongue, minimal activity beyond a daily swim. But my Fitbit is concerned that I'm overdoing things. 030
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 27/08/2025After a gruelling 5 decade search I think I've found the perfect crisp 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Rainy day, so a trip to local softplay. Rather like the gloomy lighting. 000
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Worldwide AMR Awareness Symposium at School of Medicine, University of Sunderland on Wednesday 19th November 2025. A free afternoon of talks, posters & networking focussed on AMR, infection control & antibiotic srewardship. Registration: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/antimicrob... Please share! 122
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 15/08/2025Was that Simon Jenkins? He's a bit...odd. 100
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 12/08/2025Cooling off in Durham Botanical Gardens. 020
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Sunderland in the summertime is nicer than you might imagine. 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Whoever is programming the avant-garde video art on the screen in Keel Square - I salute you! 000
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Beautiful sunny day for my last graduation ceremony at the SoL (I'm not moving, graduation is). 030
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 13/06/2025The only thing I noticed that seemed actually*wrong* was that they say this is called a "jug" and it's not AFAIK? 830
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Got car trouble & Google's AI is telling me I just need to chill 😬 110
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 21/04/2025Big big fan of this stuff - essentially 🍅 ketchup mixed with a generous splash of dill pickle juice. 000
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Eureka! The National Children's Museum is fantastic, but I'm a bit disappointed by the exhibit on "germs" when they've gone to so much trouble with everything else. 000
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Road trip continues - in Bristol now 010
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Breaking our journey with a nostalgic stop in Brum. Stayed in a slightly dystopian Premier Inn in Dale End, surrounded by boarded-up offices, a derelict B&M, towering decrepit apartment blocks, a rank NCP & Scruffy Murphy's (Birmingham's premier rock bar). 110
microbingle.bsky.social @microbingle.bsky.social · 22/03/2025These amazing crisps have sharply divided opinion in my house. Somehow they have precisely replicated the taste of *fried* egg without any egg in the ingredients list. A gastronomic triumph! 110
