Just had a visit from a hummingbird hawk moth. Wasn’t quick enough with my camera so you’ll just have to take my word for it. This is what they look like though.

I’ve a handful of songs stuck on an SD card awaiting listeners. I’ve a handful of stories stuck in a cloud awaiting readers. I’ve a half-thimble full of motivation to do anything with them. Oh well…
So, Danny Murphy had this cat called Bob right....

And… pissing about at the back claims its first victim of the World Cup after only eight minutes.
Indeed we don’t. Here’s my header. Have a look, then the ones below too. Mine is the artwork for my second novel ‘How Green Are Your Eyes’. The circular thingy is from my third novel. One name is my musical pseudonym, the other my writing name. One is my real name. You can decide which.
TraceyB@ineeddirection.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe don't usually see each others headers. Here's mine. I famously don't much like SFM or KT Tunstall so got my photo taken in front of this gig poster about 8 years ago. Used this as my Twitter cover pic too. What's yours?

Mr Mathieson. Didn’t actually teach me, but was my joint form tutor in the 6th form. An old boy of the school too, but told working class me to not pay any attention to the privileged pillocks spouting off around me, to be proud of my background, and gave me an anti-Thatcher Fabian Society pamphlet
Burnz@burnzoid.bsky.social · 2mo agoI know it’s cathartic to moan about all the shite teachers who exist but do think it’s important to highlight the good ones. Mr Williams my advanced higher maths teacher. First person to highlight how messed up the poppy fixation was to me. Also stopped class for a fun snowball fight once.
