From now on, whenever I need a little boost of dopamine I'm going to watch this moment between David Millar and @nedboulting.bsky.social. It's from the superlative 'For the Love of Cycling' podcast. #TourdeFrance #TdF #TdF26
It's going to be a hot one down south today, so if you need something to cool you down, here's a video taken in early Spring looking over the Inner Sound towards the snow topped Cuillin Hills on the Ice of Skye. The tide is slowly coming in. Volume up to hear the sea.
It's been a while since I've published anything, and this is the piece that made me want to write again! If it gets to you the way it got to me, please share it with someone. open.substack.com/pub/marinaam...

Sienna in Thailand November. Just saved from a life of living on the streets. Sienna in Wales yesterday exploring the countryside. I’d love to be inside her head to see what she is thinking ❤️
Morning everyone. Here's a little hymn of praise about the moment before the Tour de France starts. I've knocked out the paywall on this one, and offer it up for free, to everyone. Please spread it far and wide if you enjoy what I have written. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...
You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!
I received such a positive response from my first Substack article that I have just posted part II of “Starting Over” which is now a series on how I would build a wardrobe if I were starting over. Parts III, IV, V & VI are already in the works. substack.com/@bigfits/not...

Suffice to say, I made my way around the coires VERY slowly. It was too nice to rush and I didn't want it to end!
It seems to me like Bluesky is really taking off recently. It’s having a growth spurt I think. I’m going to post a lot more original content here now. I help save street dogs in Thailand and try to post content that is uplifting and that will make you smile! The old dogs are my fav ❤️

Once had privilege of listening to Ian McKellen perform at Oxford. Seemed timely then - even more so now.
Omg. WTF is Happening?@lalahaenzy.bsky.social · 6mo agoSir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
"Bovino to Leave Minnesota, But the White Supremacist Agenda is Still in Play" Bovino is the scapegoat for Trump's intentional reign of terror in Minnesota, but as long as Stephen Miller is in the White House, this is just window dressing. Dems must go on offense! open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
I posted this on Twitter before Musk had too much ketamine and went mad. Thought it was worth a post here. Something I wrote about 8 years ago for a mate, who is the only pianist I've ever met that can sight read, and play like this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVm-...
