An underwhelming photo - but I learned a new approach to fixing those annoying little holes you get in t-shirts, and it's almost invisible (hence how underwhelming the photo is!). It was over 1cm across and now it's gone. Very pleased with how it came out. Love a new technique! #TinyJoys
One for next time you're preaching on the Trinity?? 😂 ✝️⚓

My kids once lost it completely with the giggles at a very solemn moment in a Maundy Thursday church service because of this same naming coincidence. Obviously I, a serious ordained person leading the service also got a bad fit of the giggles, when I realised what had set them off. ✝️⚓ #CofEPeeps
Jack Harrison@jlharrison.bsky.social · last wk.I’ve found out that if you google Zebedee the AI overview will pull through a description of the biblical Zebedee and an image of Zebedee from The Magic Roundabout.
Can anyone remind me what the beavers at the Ambridge rewilding project are called? My search skills are failing me. One is Justin, but what is the other one called? #TheArchers

I read this on a long train journey last weekend. If you like legal thrillers, this is a really good, twisty-turny read, currently at a bargain price. I really enjoyed getting inside the heads of the barristers, judge and defendants, in turn. #booksky
The Secret Barrister@barristersecret.bsky.social · 4w agoFinancial impropriety is all over the news. But you don’t have to call a snap by-election to distract yourself (and the public). Instead, enjoy the even wilder financial impropriety of this 99p offer for the ebook of the gritty legal thriller #TheCutThroatTrial! www.amazon.co.uk/Cut-Throat-T...

Really pleased with how this labyrinth has turned out - and it seems a really fitting image for the room where I meet people for spiritual direction. Churches have been using labyrinths as a aid to prayer for centuries. The cat is very fond of it too. Presumably she's dreaming of being a Minotoar?
I googled a famous actor last night to see what nationality he was and the AI on the Google search page confidently told me that he has an identical twin sister. Really? You sure about that??
Using up scraps of yarn. It's reassuring to get to a stage where I can easily try it on and check that it's going to fit. Just the sleeves to knit, the collar to sew down properly and about a million ends to sew in. Progress photo mainly for @crikeys.bsky.social
Our garden got a bit overgrown last year and the ivy made a decent attempt at swallowing up the bird table. When I cleared it yesterday, I found out someone had rather been taking advantage of the situation! I suspect it was last spring, not this one, it doesn't look recently lived in. #TinyJoys
Does anyone have any recommendations for a cloud app? Something that would identify clouds and tell me about them, like Merlin does for birds? When I google for cloud apps, I mainly get online storage suggestions. Tagging @drlucyrogers.com because clouds are definitely things that are Up.
Work Christmas meal in a pub yesterday. Anyone want to vote on if it was late for last Christmas or early for the next one? 😂 It also happened to fall in Volunteer Appreciation Week, so I suspect we should just have gone with that!
This looks very cool - and of interest to some folks I know here. ✝️⚓

Ironing some big pieces of fabric for a sewing project.... That may not have been my best ever plan, on the hottest day of the year so far.
Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after our lunch breaks we all got to go down to the basement, throw on a smock and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place
Damn I found it Guess I have to do the things, after all 😭
Claire Cullingworth@ccullingworth.bsky.social · 3mo agoI appear to have lost my to-do list. That means I no longer have to do any of the items on it, and I can just slack off, right? Right??

For that stage in life where you might need a camper van, or you might need a hearse and you just can't make your mind up.

Next mending project. This one looks like a fun challenge. The yarn shop where I've been teaching mending sent it my way, when a customer came in with it saying "Please help!" The ladders are the most dramatic damage. There's also an armpit hole and a few other smaller issues
