So very tired. Life continues complicated.
This has sent me into a spiral. He was an awful man. But I’m not sure that’s enough to make him a Bond villain. And then I start wondering what is a Bond villain. Is it gadgets? Deathrays with bondage arrangements? It’s a question.

The hounds are standing, bewildered, “Hey! Where’s our gate?!”
Harry Turtledove @hntdove.bsky.social · 4w agoHow do you unleash a gate? "The hounds of hell are about to be unleashed" would be okay. Or "The gates of hell are about to swing wide." Reading Mein Kampf, you see that Hitler didn't understand metaphors, either.
Never tell secrets in the fields. The corn has ears, the potatoes have eyes, and the beans talk. #WyrdWednesday

… and it’s stopped. Jolly good. Don’t want to risk a flood. 🙄

Listening to Duran Duran while remotely battling in groups for electric Pokémon located in Asia somewhere.
Surprise of the day: the two young ones have started chanting WH Auden. Yes, there’s a rhyming chant in my house, about a train delivering postal communications. Don’t you worry, people in the shop on the corner (and the girl next door), because the kids have got your back.
If you were to ask me, ‘what boat would you be?’ There would be no hesitation at all. I would be a tugboat. (I don’t like how filthy that sounds. Tugboats are great! They help the big boats get into harbour!) Even that sounds rude. I have been on the Internet too long. Save me.

Bluesky, the online shop, the bank, the government, my mother, I mean really, I literally don’t know any of my own passwords. I have so many scraps of paper that none of them mean anything. I’m in a whirlwind of insecure security. Save me.
Just Call Me Amanda🐈⬛🐈⬛@amandabf.bsky.social · 6mo agoHey, um, Bluesky? Please don't randomly log me out. You are expecting wayyyyyy too much by thinking I can recall a password to this joint.
I made a resolution for the year, to notice sunsets each day. The beauty of the light changing, colours and so on. I have discovered that sunsets where I am, are white/grey skies going blue, followed by darkness. Not a red, yellow, orange or pink to be seen. This is why resolutions are a bad idea.
I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I found some new jelly babies.
🌼 Anise 🌼@anise44.bsky.social · 7mo agoI am now 150% jelly baby. Oopsie.
I was so cross for Ura! We have only just got by the November photos of the top of Ono’s foot on the clay against Aonishki, and then this happens. I love Onosato, but come on - acknowledge the man loses sometimes… it undermines him to constantly be said as ‘winning’ when he has lost.
Patriciajaydee@patriciajaydee.bsky.social · 7mo agoDid Onosato receive special accommodation in his first bout with Ura? Here's the story: In their initial match, Ura attacked Onosato and followed up with an ashitori (leg grab), knocking the yokozuna off his feet and onto his hands. Replays show both of Onosato's hands on the clay ...
Just learned that clam chowder is not a thing. Clam chowder it turns out, is many things (no doubt all of which can be tasty). Let the (non USA or otherwise clam-experienced diner) buyer beware. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clam_ch...

In my 20s i thought i was soo sophisticated, because I liked dark chocolate, black coffee and various other things like certain films and music. I am much older now, and I still prefer dark chocolate and black coffee - but it all falls apart if you present me with a packet of jelly babies.
Family nagged me for years to get hearing aids. Finally gave in and have spent the last two days oiling every creaky door in the house. Oh, and those silent but deadly farts I've been dropping out everywhere I go; they're high pitched squeakers.
Im sorry these images made it look like a Wes Anderson scene where they knock down the town hall only to reveal a smaller one inside
