@cheesemaker Long time user, purchased in the Acorn 8 introductory sale. Thanks for the heads-up!
// @ccgus
-
@crossingthethreshold Thank you! My visits have got slightly less frequent recently because my son has moved from Bristol to London 🙂
-
@mattypenny Yes, it is. Walking back to our city centre hotel late last night 🙂
-
@BestofTimes I thought it would be Chris McCausland!
(Now saying that nearly 4 hours after the event 😊)
-
@val 😄 Definitely one of my favourite birds to see - usually very shy though.
-
@BestofTimes Is the XO back in the shops then? Haven’t seen it for ages, will have to take a look tomorrow 😊
-
@loveinner.bsky.social Busch Quartet and Takács Quartet for historical and modern performances 🎵
-
@kjz Good job! ⚽️
-
@mbkriegh I certainly did! Very impressive - and long - live performance by him, Warren Ellis, the band and the backing singers. Highly recommended!
-
@adam Well, that’s overwhelming! 😄
-
@maique I’m finding it difficult to disregard an impressive five storey emergency services vehicle 😄
-
-
@iammilliam.bsky.social Great episode, listened whilst painting a window frame this morning, made the time fly 🙏
(Leading me astray though, I've ordered a copy of the book already 🙈)
-
@jeremycherfas Definitely, a title might draw more people in 🙂😉
-
@jeremycherfas I enjoy anchovies and enjoyed the podcast!
I’ve been buying anchovies (and other tinned fish) from The Tinned Fish Market for a few years now and their tinned anchovies are always labelled as semi-cured and requiring refrigeration. I can’t recall seeing this recommendation on supermarket or major supplier brands in the UK.
Thanks for the explanations of the necessity for proper storage and exploring Marcela Garcés’ knowledge of the subject. I look forward to Anchovies Part II 🙏
-
@maique Won’t be able to watch the final two episodes until we return home next week ☹️
So hope nobody posts any spoilers 🙏
-
@odd They’re surprisingly easy to find around Lindos 😄
-
@WiredDifferently That’s taken a turn I didn’t expect! I know a lot of obscure 80s and 90s bands, but not Vowel Movement 😄
-
@odd Great series of photos 👍
-
@Munish Thank you! We’re staying in Lindos but definitely planning to visit Rhodes Town.
-
@ridwan Just to see blue skies and the sun is nice after the last week of rain in the UK 😄
-
@odd Thanks! Wasn’t aware of that story - Poirot I see.
-
@aa 😁 Thanks! Couldn’t believe they let me approach so closely without taking flight.
-
@josh_____d Afraid not, we were planning a day trip there from our stay in Brussels but ran out of time …
-
@numericcitizen Of course! 😊
-
@josh_____d No shortage of good bars in Brussels 😀
-
@dwalbert Got to get the presentation right 😊
-
@Gabz Definitely! Going back a bit now, but my first cassettes were Blondie’s Plastic Letters and Ian Dury’s Do It Yourself. Probably 1979. I became a big fan of cassette in preference to vinyl throughout my student years 🤷♂️
-
@maique I really like the look of the images so keep posting! Going to have to take a peek at the preset 👀😊
-
@odd Unfortunately not! I was there for all of last week and left early morning Friday, the day after he arrived 😕
-
@maique My father-in-law went on one yesterday but didn’t use the slide 😂 And my nephews and son were jumping off the cliffs this afternoon from the side you took the photo from. Coincidences!
-
@maique We had a great time! Four elderly relatives with us so there were limits as to what we could do, but enjoyed good food, sea and sand 😁
-
@maique And that cove looks incredibly like Cala en Bosc, where we’ve been staying!
-
@maique Enjoy Menorca 🇪🇸
We’ve just spent a week here on a big family holiday (14 of us!) - leaving tomorrow morning 😢
-
@antonzuiker Some big fans out there - of football and Wikipedia!
-
@Burk And we learn that most people pick prime numbers!?
-
@pratik 🤣
-
@pratik They managed it 🫤
-
@pratik Definitely! I think South Africa will struggle to reach that total.
-
@toddgrotenhuis I think you need to go to the Threads.net Settings -> Account -> Website Permissions and accept the Micro.blog Invitation.
That cleared the error for me.
-
@manton Would like to try cross-posting - my Threads username is thedimpause
-
@odd I heard a radio program mention the book last week and wanted to read it. Have also been watching some YouTube music videos 😊
-
@pratik Really good match - I was glued to it until the end!
-
@Munish But the rain has returned with a vengeance 😔
-
@JimRain Superb! I learnt a lot about Aneurin Bevan that I did't know and really enjoyed the production and the performances of the cast.
-
@Gabz Cheers 🍻
-
@writingslowly What electoral fraud? And any evidence of fraud that I have seen mentioned with any evidence has been related to postal voting rather than in person.
A total of 9 cases of alleged personation fraud were recorded by police forces in 2023.
(that was 2 in person, 6 postal and 1 proxy)
-
@odd No, not for us, now all voters definitely need a valid form of photo ID for most UK elections.
-
@ridwan Yes, me too. I'm sure the turnout for these local elections would be disappointingly low, even without any extra barriers to the ease of voting 🤔
-
@adam Definitely should have kept hold of the land rights!
-
@numericcitizen I've used the ApolloOne image viewer for this sort of thing. But only the free version - it also has two subscription tiers and reasonable perpetual licenses, plus a free 14 day Pro trial. I've not needed it enough to buy the full version 🤷♂️
-
@pratik Thanks!
-
@stefp 👍
-
@pcora Thank you!
-
@crossingthethreshold Looks great from their website and I'm always a fan of tapas! I'll keep it in mind next time we're in Bristol.
-
@crossingthethreshold Thank you! Yes, it's on Apsley Road, Clifton. They've got a restaurant on College Green too - also closed on Mondays by the look of it 😞
-
@maique That too! But it does say Real Magic under the Coca Cola logo on the tram. Too subtle 😄
-
@z428 @maique 👍 Only disappointment is that the actual Magic in the picture has blurred in the upload compression - it's quite clear in my photo library 🫤
-
@jean Yep, unlucky scheduling! 😔
-
@matti Brilliant 👏
-
@manton Can’t believe it’s not a Microblog sticker! 😉
-
@maique Thanks! Definitely from the archives - taken with an iPhone 4S 😄
-
@crossingthethreshold Weather permitting 😉
-
@adam I really enjoyed it - an intriguing series of conversations/stories and I found her writing style very easy to read. I would like to get to the rest of the trilogy but first I’ve got her novel Second Place in my pile of books to be read!
-
@vincent 👀
-
@jeremycherfas It was a wet soda bread dough that half filled the tin before baking. I'm guessing there was some weird hot spot in the oven that caused it to rise rapidly in one corner.
-
@pratik 🤭
-
@stefp Same for me, I’ve seen Ozric Tentacles at a few festivals, mainly in the 90s, but never really listened to them on record. Went to the gig mainly to see Gong who I’ve listened to on record for ages but only started seeing live in the last 8 or 9 years, unfortunately only post-Daevid Allen. That said, Ozrics gave a fantastic performance 😊
-
@toddgrotenhuis You're slightly ahead of me - I'm on 96,644 as of 16:00 GMT today. Must put in more effort 😄🎵
-
@jeremycherfas It is, and these are superb, a very different thing from the cheap, artificially dyed and smoke flavoured kippers you can get.
-
@adam Love staying here for a couple of days every now and again, even though it’s only just over an hour away from where I live in South Wales.
-
@Parag You’ve met the wrong people then 😀 A number of my friends are definitely more into cricket - and, in Wales, rugby - than football! (Although we do follow football too)
-
@Parag 😂 It’s good to have a selection of beverages!
-
@annahavron Wow! 🤣
-
@thedimpause Not to be
-
@val I hope they don't use that fume cupboard 😉
-
@manton 👍
-
@Munish I woke up at about 4:40am just in time to see Ollie Robinson's wicket fall! Nice that England got past 350, looking forward to the rest of the day 🙂
-
@sod Nice wine choice - I'm very fond of Valpolicella Ripasso 😊 🍷
-
@restlesslens Never really dived into internet radio so I can't offer you anything ... but I have been listening to Radio is a Foreign Country for a couple of hours today, interesting and addictive! Thanks for bringing it to my attention 🙏
-
@Munish Yes, if Robinson hangs around they could easily add another 30 runs. When Andersen and Bashir get in I'm not so sure 🙂
England helped a little by India not having any reviews left - but if the ball and pitch behave like they did in the first session this morning it will be difficult.
-
@otaviocc I like that the Wavelength sound waves and Sunlit light waves are shown as the correct type of waves 🙂
-
@adders I love the idea behind this blog! Photos there so far are really interesting - look forward to seeing more.
-
@pratik Yes, an embarrassingly miserable collapse 😔 England didn't even come close to India's batting performance, even with India a top bowler down. Still, got to look forward to the next Test on Friday.
-
@paulrobertlloyd Fantastic designs👏
-
@ekcragg I didn't notice 😉 😆
-
@maique He certainly is - I can see why you'd want the book 🙂
-
@maique Now you've made me look at this 😊🙏 - Nothing is quite like them 📷 🔗
-
@DaveyCraney That's one of the reasons I chose it. Already enjoying being able to heat the water to 80ºC for green teas rather than boiling a kettle and waiting for it to cool - which takes a surprisingly long time!
-
@maique The Beluga app icon alone makes it worth experimenting with 🙂
-
@JohnPhilpin His songs definitely tell a story 😆
-
@odd 😆 👍
-
@ArnoldHoogerwerf It is stunning! I'm working my way through Tarkovsky's films but am certainly going to have to re-watch them - especially Nostalgia - in the hope of understanding them more. First viewing is definitely weighted towards a visual appreciation.
-
@ner3y There is a plugin for Obsidian that will pull and sync Kindle highlights into an Obsidian vault.
I've used it and it works well, but it's not as fancy as Readwise 😞
