Leaving a shallow bowl of fresh water outside can make a real difference to foxes, birds, hedgehogs, insects and other wildlife. Remember to refresh it regularly and keep it somewhere shaded and safe. Please share, and encourage others to do the same 💧
Not for ages but super excited about this announcement
The Nightingales@nightingalesuk.bsky.social · 3d agoVery excited to announce we will be playing a pre-match show at FC United football club on Saturday November 21st. Full details to follow, but entry is free with a match day ticket to United’s league match at 3PM that afternoon vs Warrington Rylands. Tickets will be available soon
Tonights gig. As much as I love a packed out tiny venue it might be a little challenging while it's over 30° outside. Should be good tho.
This is what I'll be watching this evening. No special equipment required as far as I know.
I rationed my reading of this compelling novella to savour the writing and story. It covers a migrant experience in Denmark via a subtly pitched love story- told in letters home. Published recently by @dauntbookspub.bsky.social #BookSky
Another fine selection of new tunes. Certainly livened up a bit of an overlong journey at the weekend.
Rob O’Cop@rob-o-cop.bsky.social · last wk.www.mixcloud.com/thesoundFM/i... In this new episode of Indiescovery, no fewer than 5 (!) albums of the month! Although one is strictly an EP and one hasn't even been released yet. From, respectively, Mesh, Atmos Bloom, Laminat Snyder, Baby Queen (pictured) and Sibille Attar. Enjoy!
My song of the week is British Birds "Lie Down With Dogs, Stand Up With Fleas" #SOTW Top tune with bonus la,la,la's and a fun video too. youtu.be/8XguZoMOn3U?...

Salford pioneered play streets, traffic-free from 8am till sunset (borrowed from New York) in the 1930s. Legislation followed: there were 700 in England and Wales in the 1950s, all but forgotten by the 1980s.

In case anyone wanted to visit our little bookshop… here’s the opening hours for August! #indiebookshop #booksky
Didn't expect to see this on the walk to the station this morning.🎄
I can't remember who suggested reading a book set somewhere that you're visiting but it was a good idea. I think there's something important in this novel that I missed but I admired the writing and strong sense of location. #BookSky
Let's start a band. A couple more #StreetArt pics from our Bologna visit. The cat has a "This machine kills fascists" guitar.
#SOTW "Angel Eyes" by Brickhouse. A promising debut single by the Manchester band. youtu.be/O6OUFC1KMCU?...

In Italy, a structure promoted for years as an "ancient Roman amphitheatre" has turned out to be a fake, constructed recently using modern materials.

PLEASE SHARE THIS To the young person (longish dark hair, patterned waistcoat, chinos & DM boots) who left this scroll of papers on the Piccadilly Line train at South Kensington station at about 4.25pm today, I’ve handed it to the station staff at Hammersmith.
Final stage of our Italian adventure and a delayed trip to Bologna. Buzzy and interesting place to be. The many miles of collanade walkways are welcome in the 32° + temps.
Not on the Booker list but Keshed is so, so worthy of a read. It's stuck with me and one I am quick to recommend to others. #BookSky
Stu Hennigan@stuhennigan.bsky.social · 2w agoShort thread (on the fact that the huge Instagram clamouring for Keshed to be on the Booker listed ended with, of course, it not being listed. Wanna say again, HUGE props to Henry @ortacpress.bsky.social for publishing Keshed, and I'm glad this has put em on the radar of a lot more people.
Latest read. The author recreating an earlier cross-USA bus trip to see what's changed. Combination of travelogue and memoir, often disheartening but insightful. #Booksky
