Usual Twitter transfer. Dog walks, phone photo's, dad puns, education, some politics, some family stuff, trying to maintain a 600 year old house. Please excuse the typos.

Added advantage of pen and paper is you can't distract yourself by trying to read the entire Internet before you start. I use a fountain pen for work stuff - feels like more of an event than a biro.

Yet another update: Understand that I'm not telling you to give up your computer. I'm just saying that there are options when it comes to composing text. The different methods use different parts of your brain, so switching between them can be a good way to get past writers block.

If you’re working with your Meta pervert glasses on, don’t forget that looking at passwords shares them with Meta. I know the immediate solution is to use a password manager, and I’ll never not recommend that, but how about not wearing your pervert glasses?

Sign of the times from Lincolnshire. Derelict golf course to be converted to 'shepherd's huts', holiday lodges and residential bunkhouse for educational purposes. The golf clubhouse becomes a cafe, shop. A lot about wellness, padel, pilates, wild swimming

sometimes there is absolutely nothing more fun than understanding works of art through people's varied professional perspectives

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Female blackbird with a berry, kestrel with lots of berries. #birds #photography

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Alt #SummerVisitors Migratory birds associated with summer or your favourite bird to capture in summer. #birds #photography #ECK

A Meadow Pipit perches sideways on the curved seed head of a dark purple grass, its finely streaked brown upperparts and cream underparts sharply in focus against a smooth green background. The bird grips a large reddish earthworm in its slender bill, likely carrying food back to a nest or recently fledged young. Its alert dark eye and slightly raised crown feathers give it an attentive expression, while the soft, blurred backdrop draws full attention to the delicate plumage and the vivid contrast of the red worm against the bird’s pale face.

Did you know that The Map Center is the only map store in the country that is directly above a brewery? Tomorrow at 6:30 at Discipline Brewing, Robert Isenberg talks about his new book about bike-packing Canada for Lonely Planet. So if you like beer, bikes, travel or beer, you should join us.

This thread from the Spanish Foreign Office is really useful for anyone faced with mis/disinformation about the situation in Ceuta. There is one hell of a lot of that about at the moment!! Please use it to counteract ignorant claims, wherever they're from. It's available in French and Spanish too.

Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, UE y Cooperación de España@exterioresgob.bsky.social · 2d ago

1/5 🧵 Entering Spain irregularly through Ceuta or Melilla does not grant any right to remain in the country, travel to mainland Spain, or move freely within Europe. It also poses a grave risk to life. No court ruling has changed this. 🔗 www.exteriores.gob.es/en/Comunicac...

If women wore smart glasses, they'd be banned. (soigomaa/x) Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Trust me, smart glasses would be regulated before you can say 'Meta'.
