For the incredible Toria Garbutt. An outstanding poet of her generation who tours with John Cooper Clark. I was her English teacher once which is my claim to fame.

Morning lovelies. Today's art is also from the @yspsculpture.bsky.social 'Seated Figure ' by Sean Henry. I like to write poetry about him and what he is waiting for.

#Connect2Nature #Birdoftheday #Welltimed I was at a Raptor Conservatory, crouching as low as I could get for a person my age, watching this Bald Eagle fly. Then he came towards me. One of my favourite shots. #Birds #Nature #Photography

There is a storm in me that rages violent, like thunder & lightning but your eyes are a shortcut to calm— my tempest, blown away. Your eyes— sure as a clear sky, caring as sunlight. Lost in your eyes I find my sunny side. #WildWalkPrompt #eyes #vss365 #lightning #2wordprompt #sure #care

Guys... please, stay alive for the books you haven't read, the anime you haven't finished, and the stray cats you haven't petted yet. Stay alive for the smell of rain, your morning coffee, the songs that will become your new favorites, and the versions of yourself you haven't met yet

😷😷 Reform say the NHS will be ‘free at the point of NEED’ as opposed to USE, as now. Let me explain. When my excruciating back pain was getting no better and I couldn’t walk, we decided we NEEDED to see a consultant. So broke an ISA and booked at BUPA. Got appt in2 days. And then we got the bill.

Paul McCartney should act his age. He’s been around so long, just retire already. He’s so irrelevant. I don’t agree with any of the above, and I’d would agree with you if you believe this is utter nonsense. So why is it okay to do this to Madonna? The only difference is, she’s a woman

Our 85 year old neighbor just told me rapturously of a brand new fruit she'd found at the supermarket that was like a sweet tangerine with no seeds. She was really excited to give me some to try, so I pretended I'd never heard of a clementine.

HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology. Hell of a lady.
