Hiatus here@hiatushere.bsky.social · 4h agoRyszard is looking for something. "To jest to ale nie to" 🤣 "That is it, but not *it*" #NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory It's just the repetition of 'to' that made me giggle.
#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory Got some work! Proofreading. 10 pages for tomorrow, and another 33 for Monday evening. And you know what that means. That means my desktop work task list has actual entries in it for the first time in goddamn aeons!l BTW, do you like my desktop?
@chiller.eurosky.social Hello! Would you mind having a chat with my very good IRL friend @einatmen.bsky.social about switching to Eurosky? I know nothing, and he knows little about social media in general and may need some assistance. If you have the energy/time/inclination, of course. 😁
Somnambulation. During WW2 some canals became a 'last line' of defence. A rare photo here then of ARP Warden Hodges dug in as part of the Walmington-on-Sea efforts to protect the canal from any invasion...

If my math is correct, this is about a 5% increase in the overall amount of community owned land in Scotland
Xander@xanderelliards.bsky.social · yesterdayFantastic news out of Harris this morning, where a huge swathe of the isle (as well as numerous others and hundreds of crofts) are set to come under community ownership Story: Locals win £1m to buy 27,000-acre Scottish island estate after 14-year campaign
Yes I acknowledge it makes sense in context but “I need my car to meet criminals” is now my favourite basis for an attempted exceptional hardship plea. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#NowPlaying In C - various performances I bloody love Terry Riley's In C. No matter how many performances I listen to, there's always a new way to interpret it. I'm listening to a performance from Mali now, and it's really very uplifting. A 20th-century classic.
Modern Denmark's particularly reactionary approach to migration is especially grating when one considers that its economy is one of the healthiest in Europe. You can absolutely afford to crack the door open, you're just too racist for it.
WTF?! I mean, I'm not at all surprised about profiteering from the war, it's just the amount. I mean, that's going to raise a lot of… disappointment.

#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory I am very pleased to report that… things… are much more solid today. 😃
#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory Just reporting to say - VICTORYYYYYYY - I woke up in a clean bed! Don't know if I'm clear yet, but I'm certainly, ooooh, 1000% better than 24 hours ago?
I don't think I ever went to Forton services, but it was my personal landmark when I was a kid. We saw it every time were going from Edinburgh to Cheshire to visit #NFMum's parents.

Somnambulation. Somewhere out there... The boat is 7' wide. The bridge-hole (water level) is 8' - maybe. Clearance at hand rail is 8" - maybe. Visabillity is not good owing to lack of maintenance by CRT! We are going in! Regardless - but s l o w ... Phew! - We made it!
@hiatushere.bsky.social Wotcher, mate. How's it going in the Colonies? 😉 Did you ever get that email address sorted? No pressure, I'm just curious. 😊
