Have any of you watched Big Sky on Disney? In season 3 pretty much everyone who isn't to do with law enforcement seems to be some sort of baddy. Except one

At doctors waiting for flu jab. There's quite a lot of us & the vaccine deliverers are having lunch. In spite of my tendency to chat to people anywhere & everywhere I can't see any likely targets
I should move & do useful stuff instead of pestering people on here
I keep coming across expressions/idioms on SM that I don't know the meaning of. I used to be able to work stuff out but not so much now & I have no contact with young people & less knowledge of popular culture What does "in the weeds" mean? And how are people using "tax"? I need a glossary
I just saw a post where someone said "piques my interest" and for a brief moment my brain registered it as a misspelling.
I've a flu jab booked today & a bit of shopping to do. Also want nice meals this weekend but simple to prepare. Tempted to buy those supermarket almost -but-not-quite-ready meals
Is it especially quiet on Here this morning or are people ignoring me?
Having a "don't want to move" morning I even tried to not use inverted commas there but it just looked too wrong
Stayed after Qui Gong for a coffee with an old acquaintance that I hadn't seen in many years and now I'm home & should start in on housework stuff but don't want to just yet. I can't have another coffee or I won't sleep. You lot will have to amuse me for half an hour or so
That's not going to go down well with some people is it?
Mark MacKinnon@markmackinnon.bsky.social · 2d agoSouth African judge Navi Pillay - who headed a UN commission that last year found Israel was committing a genocide in Gaza - has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee hailed her as "one of the most respected international jurists of our time."
I read somewhere that some Americans think we Brits will be worried that they are withdrawing their planes from Fairford. I suspect that, generally, we aren't so much
Michael left behind 2½ bottles of good whisky. I've given 2 to his sister but I still have ½ a bottle of Laphroaig in the cupboard. I'm not a whisky drinker. I'd like to like it because it suits my self image but sadly I don't.
Just seen an ad by Danny Dyer for SNL. One reason I don't like him is that he naned his daughter after himself It's bad enough naming a son after yourself, but a daughter??
What's the going rate for car insurance? Just got a quote & was a bit shocked (another thing Michael used to deal with)
Having found music I like, I want to be able to play it through the car's audio system. I know the technology exists but getting it all to connect has taken way more time & been far more complicated than it ought to have As did renewing my driving licence on-line last week
I need to check my emails. I find this very hard to do since I once got an email from work that I see as being the start of a downward spiral in that particular job that took me ages to recover from mentally. Professionally I never did. I know it's not logical but ...

You know what I said about US stuff being surreal? I mean this!!! WTF
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
The stuff coming out of America just now is just surreal.

@hugeshark.bsky.social Something just came up in an SM feed saying how hot it is over on the West Coast just now and I had no idea it was an issue. I feel like we've lost touch with the US a bit over here just now. I think we all find the news from there so depressing we try to avoid it
I was watching a video earlier & wondering what it must be like to be married to someone who is so ridiculously good looking that people are constantly drooling over & throwing themselves at them. You must have to either not care or be totally confident in their love & fidelity
