@deluxday.bsky.social It's October and it should be cold. The jumpers have made a comeback, more through habit than habitat, as this season is yet to bite. 15/10 Autumnal warming - Well, whether the weather, there's Jumpers a' jumpin'! #17thOctober #haiku365 #haiku

Today's the 960th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting my scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry in Playmobil.

It was a good experience and we think it's shown him another option; he's certainly bright enough to obtain the requisite qualifications, with a bit of work!

@paddy-roberts.bsky.social 13.10 "Blessed are the big noses!" (Life of Brian). Love these little testimonials from former students; Words from the heart that Whilst Anonymous, speak of Courage and new hope. #17thOctober #haiku365

Noticed these in the Art block last week, a reminder that we do make a difference, even though some days it doesn't feel like it!

I think it's absolutely fantastic. It shows what an extraordinary country I live in and that refugees can fully integrate and participate in society

@deluxday.bsky.social Thanks, Luke, for your kind words and message earlier to K. Its been weird . . . . . . . 🏁 11/10 Odd, flat, discordant Weird, sharp, cacaphonic Day out of kilter #17thOctober #haiku365 #haiku

I've doctored this photo (that I took about 5 years ago) to express the feeling of dislocation and general weirdness I've been experiencing: a lack of sleep; loss; change.

@paddy-roberts.bsky.social We send all our love and condolences to you, Karen, Dylan..😢 11.10 Calendar Girls (& Men!) photo shoot for Mask Theatre this morning. We bared all, for a good cause! For the Month of May, I bared all, modesty masked By foliate head! #17thOctober #haiku365

For Mask Theatre's upcoming production of Calendar Girls, we took over Leeds Hall in Eye this morning and bared all for a charity calendar. I will be shocking the month of May as the Green Man; one of these was up top, one was below! The things we do in the name of art! 😆

#vss365 #calm The stewardess flashed a puzzled look, but joined in with the laugh: I imagine you have to deal with a lot of nutters and lame jokers in her line of work. The rest of the flight passed calmly enough, and we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta bang on time. I decided to head for the coast.

My mother-in-law, Audrey Hampson, taken back in 2020, as the dementia really started to bite.

Find some peace, now, Aud, we'll miss you.

#vss365 #quake I breathed deeply, calming the quake in my pulse. "What did I shout?" I asked innocently as she handed me my drink: she'd heard the 'e'; ice in separate glass; water jug, too. "Nothing comprehensible, sir." "That's a relief," I said, with a cheeky smile, "Then no one has to die."

I've earned plenty of letters in my time but those pieces of paper will be nothing but kindling for my pyre. What I want buried with me are the kindnesses I did & memories made with people dear to me. Give my achievements to the fire but any good I did for others, let that rest with me forever.

It's nice to be able to lose $47m and still carry on. Losing £47 is enough to give me a sleepless night, most days.

#vss365 #siren I moved quietly down the darkened corridor but, as I reached the target's door, a siren blared! I must have triggered an alarm ... "Are you alright, sir?" The stewardess swam into view: "You were shouting in your sleep - can I get you anything?" I rubbed my eyes: "Whiskey. Please."
