You know it’s winter when #DEFRA imposes its annual restriction on #chickens interacting with outside world where wild birds (and #BirdFlu) frequent – here are 4 of our girls stoic in the face of lockdown (5th laying an egg and didn’t want to be photographed!).

Bit of a southerly breeze on approach to EGLL 27L earlier today #crabbing

Teaching the French to play cricket is the surest sign yet of the end times.

The Sacred Texts as they will become known.

Something perfect about Chinese lounge food after a 12-hour flight.

Our NHS.

On the tannoy at Kings Cross Station, announcement asking for a doctor to assist with a “first aid incident”. Then very carefully clarifying “MEDICAL doctor“ – twice. Makes me wonder if they’ve been inundated by humanities scholars, theologians and scientists in the past when making this request…

So @rpgrant.bsky.social’s Asian dinner prep is looking tricolore 🇮🇹

Once you start looking there’s loads.

This is a chicken curry that my son made. Banging!

I see a monster cottage pie in the family’s near future.

Wild idea. Modern Milkman should use electric vehicles. I’ve even thought of a special name for them: Milk Floats. Cool, huh?

Airlink 1 - 0 The "Experts"

And that’s all that matters

I know that some people are saying that the Airlink flight over the rugby was "dangerous" and "could have ended in disaster". Armchair experts gonna armchair expert.

Neil Finn is proof that nice guys do win, and that sometimes, just sometimes, you don’t have to suffer to write beautiful music.

The food with the most air miles.

What with one thing and another it was a trying season. But bottled 50 jars of honey this afternoon.

Prof Jenny Rohn@jennyrohn.bsky.social · 3mo ago

With a little bit extra for some 1.5 ounce gift jars…

I was about to chomp on a padron when Jenny comes and snarfs the whole thing. Cue much seeking of full fat dairy products: it was the only one from our garden and blisteringly hot.

Boy and Boy’s friend and Boy’s friend’s dad and brother all had a good time today.
