Books, cathedrals, swimming in lakes, cooking, politics. Cat-lover sadly cursed by allergies.
My teenage children are on holiday with grandparents and now the mug shelf is overflowing.
You can kill a French vampire with a baguette. It's a painstaking process but it works.
The 16 year old woke me up by having a bath at 2am. I have been awake ever since. He went to bed a bit after 4. Today I will be mostly consuming caffeine while watching very easy tv. Or else having a migraine. Possibly both.

My kid's going to be studying at UAL next year, so I follow them on Instagram and they've been showing reels of the graduations and you should all go and watch because the flair and panache and amazing outfits are not something I am accustomed to seeing at graduations.
Happy belated birthday to one of my favorite songs
Birmingham 81@birmingham81.bsky.social · 3w agoHappy 45th birthday to Soft Cell's version of Tainted Love, released on this day in 1981
England have won all their matches so far, and I haven't watched any of them, so I'm doing my bit for my adopted homeland by not watching this one either just in case my absence is the vital element to victory.
Last weekend, I cleaned out maggoty bin juice from inside the wheelie bin. Today, I got rid of the woodlouse graveyard behind the kitchen kickboard while trying to fix the broken dishwasher. I'm a little bit worried about what creepy crawly adventures are in store for my next day off.

I would just like to thank Trump and FIFA for making the World Cup suddenly interesting for all us nerds with no interest in football but an unhealthy obsession with political scandals. It's been a difficult time for us these past two weeks. You've really come through
This is amazing. Really makes you think about the lives, sights, sounds etc that become 'things in the ground'... #Archaeology 🏺
Duncan Mackay@theduncanmackay.bsky.social · last mo.With readings by Mel Giles and @cathamclarke.bsky.social it turned into an incredibly moving ceremony, not something I ever expected to see or will probably ever see again.
Unlike virtually everyone I know, I am like neither Zohran Mamdani nor Pope Leo
It's 24.1 degrees in the office, and I've just put on my jumper. Please be kind to me during the colder months as I was clearly intented for somewhere warmer than Yorkshire, and spend most of the year a shivering wreck.
M&S limited edition strawberry and creme chia pudding is so good that several times this week I've found myself "forgetting" to make myself breakfast so that I have an excuse to buy some on my way into work.
This thunderstorm smells so good! The windows are open and the difference in the air is dramatic.
When flags went up locally in York last summer, I had a visceral, panicked response, and this is why. Growing up, those flags meant one thing, and it wasn't good.
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 2mo agoWho and what is really behind what's been happening in Belfast? Marisa asked me to explain what's been going on
It's draw between Livejournal and the Guardian Talkboards. I still miss them both.
JD (by way of Blacksky)@jdot.blacksky.team · 2mo agoCan I ask y’all a genuine question? In all your life online, what’s the greatest social media you’ve ever used?
I've started making calendar entries for things I want to do but keep failing to get around to, and it's giving me so much anticipatory joy to see chunks of time blocked off things like "drink tea and read magazines" and "bookshop and cafe afternoon".
Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot
We have been working on getting several of our prints restored and remounted. On the back of a fairly normal view of York we found this. Everyone, meet buff Satan.
I have an essay in the Irish Times this weekend reflecting on the intimate practice of writing about queer history in Belfast. Warning: contains pillow talk www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...
My search for the stories of gay Belfastmen has taken me to some surprising places
Writing a history of gay Belfast has been an intensely personal and emotional journey

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.
RIP Anthony Head. I hope you're knocking on St Peter's door and asking if you can borrow some coffee.
My train home has been cancelled so I'm people-watching at the station and my generalisation about Oxford based on this is that the middle aged, middle class women in sensible shoes here are considerably swearier than their York equivalents. But that might just be due to the stress of rail travel.
On a work trip, so we went to Evensong and on our way there found an old phone box full of little toy mice having adventures.
I love Heated Rivalry, but I'm not convinced that it should have beaten North of North for Best Costume Design.
I forgot to take photos, but I had a lovely day being a parade marshall at Pride today - I'll definitely sign up to volunteer again next year.
