Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 23/09/2026As I scrolled past I thought it said "Of glow worms and prunes". Definitely like yours better. 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Yes! It's lovely that we get so much summer light in Scotland, but I also hate all those weeks when you never see the stars. Then Orion appears neatly outside the bedroom window... 020
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Really enjoyed the documentary--the engineering required to pack, ship & re-display it was amazing. Did get v annoyed with Janina Ramirez' on the women "stitching for their lives" & suffering the indignity of celebrating their conquerers. Do we have any evidence that the women weren't in Norman? 100
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 13/09/2026That's why I don't read/watch about fantastic gardens, it just makes me feel inadequate! Hope you're better soon. 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 09/09/2026You and everyone involved are among the the few people who can know they changed the world. 021
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I don't want to be the forst to say it, but...quite autumnal! 200
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 08/08/2026How did I not know you were here? Will see if I can get there! 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I don't get influencers or how they influence anyone, but I have no problem with them...until they start getting in other people's way because they feel recording themselves gives them priority & importance. Q 020
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 29/07/2026What a combo! Also, it's nice of Bluesky to point out your post was in English & ask if I wanted to reply in English--at the moment it's suggesting I try Portuguese! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 07/07/2026If it ain't broke....I'm just delighted to be watching a history documentary that doesn't consist of 50% fake drama and pretending to solve mysteries that don't actually exist! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 21/06/2026My brother and I have always said we'll never be able to write good autobiographies because our parents were both lovely! 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 06/06/2026I remember everyone sitting in fascinated and puzzled silence as you drew the face on it! 100
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 31/05/2026We visited Lake Louise, Banff & Jasper on a family holiday when I was 10 (a VERY long time ago!) & I still remember how stunned I was by the beauty--not something 10-year-olds generally notice. 030
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 23/05/2026"stupid on stilts" now has to formally enter the language! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 23/05/2026They are fabulous birds though I'm not convinced that's a real picture of one! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I've only ever cried watching 3 things on tv: Obama's first inauguration, Attenborough finally encountering the blue whale, and tonight his 100th birthday celebration. 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Not brutal but interesting: the Panopticon on Trongate. 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This describes so much archaeology and history on television now. I don't even watch anything with "secret" or "mystery" because it always turns out that there is neither a secret or a mystery & in fact archaeologists have probably already known whatever it os for years. 011
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Are we at all surprised that I'll be in Wales then?! 110
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I somehow have this magic ability to be somewhere else whenever Robin is appearing. Generally I leave town the day before or arrive the day after. Sometimes I swear we could wave to each other as our paths cross. 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I'm not going near the Oxford comma meleé, I'm just so pleased to see the Star Trek tribute! 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Ha! After my father passed away we had to mine all his pockets for forgotten antacids, tic-tacs and toothpicks! 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Happy birthday and welcome to the oldies club! If you lived in Scotland you could have a free bus pass on top of all the other benefits!! 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 05/03/2026@georgetakei.bsky.social Just saw that you're part of the Star Trek cruise next year. Would dearly love to have the chance to meet you and the others but I get seasick standing on damp grass.... 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I was at the first show of the season and there were hardly any klaxons (happily for my friend's guide dog) So obviously today was a fluke! 010
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Rats, I'm seeing Helen Sharman in Edinburgh that evening! Well,not rats that I'm seeing her but that I'm already booked! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Sadly, can't make that one--hopefullt next time! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 02/02/2026I initially read it as "last dressing GOWN..." and was quite confused for a minute! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 20/01/2026How about getting it over the border to Scotland sometime? 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 14/01/2026I've written to the team to explain & see if they can arrange access but if not we'll just quote you and barge to the front! 😂 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 11/01/2026@alandaviescomic.bsky.social scrounging some insider info: coming to a taping of QI next month with a partially sighted friend& her guide dog. Just wondering how far in advance we should turn up to make sure we can get seats at the front? 100
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 01/01/2026I suppose I was too old when it first came out, but I find it really random and pointless. Dick Van Dyke doing that dance number one beat behnd everyone else on stage is genius, though! 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 31/12/2025www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...bbc.co.ukBBC Two - The Secret Genius of Modern Life, Series 3, Air FryerHannah looks at the air fryer – a device that is rapidly taking over people's kitchens. 090
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 24/12/2025My father said my mother's mother did that with him. He called it "third person invisible" 030
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 10/12/2025British friends of mine have had to do this in order to change planes in Miami--they won't even be leaving the airport. 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 09/12/2025How sad! I got to see the recent documentary about him over the summer..it was wonderful 000
Allyson Bailey @schlep84.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Just from the picture I can say with 100% stone cold certainty that my husband would not want any of it. You might have done better to call it "gifts YOU might not have considered giving" 000
