@leahbroad.bsky.social I have just finished listening to Quartet, so jumping on to say thank you for such a fascinating and frustrating listen.

Why is it, that whichever swimming pool I am at, there's always a splashy front crawl man swimming down the middle of the medium paced lane, overtaking people because he's too fast - but won't swim in the fast lane? Is it the same man, following me about?
I have always wanted a window seat like this. Modern vicarages sadly don't deliver.
British Library@britishlibrary.bsky.social · 2w agoSome weekends are made for getting lost in a good book. What's everyone reading this weekend? We need some recs 🖌A Child’s Garden of Verses by Jessie Willcox Smith, 1905 Source: 11650.h.36 frontispiece
I am no longer a librarian (in profession if not in soul) but this makes me so JOLLY CROSS on behalf of the profession.
AlanFricker@alanfricker.bsky.social · 2w agoNew CILIP website is a mess of AI slop images. Check out the images of senior professionals and try and imagine the prompt that generated them. All backed by walls of fake books that look like the ones sold by the yard to furnish pubs www.cilip.org.uk/learn-develo...
In a blast from the past it's #trainprayer this morning in about 30min - how may I pray for you?
In the 1990s when I was briefly tech crew for a male strip show, I had a pyrotechnics cue for 'Holding out for a Hero,' which I can still accurately recall.

So broadcasting on 198khz is gone. It should be celebrated with a substantial thank you. Not a short goodbye, but a long wave.

Today's the 10th anniversary of my ordination as a deacon. Where did the time go..?
This sign seen in Harlow park this morning irritated on two levels - (a) there is of course no corresponding sign for drivers asking them to be cautious (b) presuming that the use of AI graphics is why the oncoming car is on the wrong side of the road
On holiday. First day, in which the careful plans for trains to Inverness became an expensive flight instead because of a fatality. Sounds like it's been a horrible day on the railway, and someone isn't going home today.
Whereas many priests can just about manage a ParkRun?

My phone camera never has quite replicated the beauty and blue-ness of a carpet of bluebells, but I share this anyway. Day off pilgrimage back to Essex woods today.
8hrs sleep, an hour's sunny walk, bit of online puzzling, lunch, gave Bunter a good brush outside, now tea and an armchair and a book and no plans to move #postEaster
🙌 Happy Easter! 🙌 Alleluia! Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!
Gosh. @gerrarrdus.bsky.social It's now a 15-year-old tradition of reading this. cyber-coenobites.blogspot.com/2011/04/rip-...

After months of hard work, we’re thrilled to be able to share our new festival location for 2027 with you. To those of you who have begged for our new home to have plenty of green space, great transport links and delicious, locally-sourced food and drink, we hope you won’t be disappointed.
Today I learned that if you have trashed the touchscreen on your phone you can plug a USB mouse in and activate things that way. Learned it about 8hrs too late to save me lots of faff, mind.
If you were going to drop and smash your work mobile phone, today wouldn't be the best day, would it...
@nationaltrust.org.uk Could you at least wait until after Easter before sending me an advertisement for a Christmas 2026 event...?
So many things still to do this evening but I guess some of them will just be done standing...
I cannot recommend enough adding @bcpminuscontext.bsky.social to your collection because about twice a day there are created the most marvellous coincidental comments on adjacent posts...
Here's Bunter the birthday dog enjoying his treat, being closely observed by Lord Peter, who doesn't have a birthday until August
When you buy @timbattsneale.bsky.social a second hand 1970s textbook for his birthday and you are both equally delighted to discover it came with its original library ticket... That's probably a sign we're married to the right person.
@ruthh.bsky.social let's see what the @churchofengland.org IWD prayer is for tomorrow...
Thank you @revrachelmann.bsky.social for putting this in my feed this morning. Much laughter at the breakfast table.
