@strandlines Wasn’t expecting to enjoy the TalkSport commentary so much - was anticipating a lot of jingles and adverts, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coverage.

@jsanchez Thank you!

@jeremycherfas I'm afraid not, decorative only, I've gone electronic now :) I no longer even have a set of weights to use with it.

@vasta Thank you - I went on a walk today just to find one. This Photoblogging Challenge is good for my health ;) No idea what to do for tomorrow's Plain ...

@vasta Thanks!

@jemostrom I hoard far too much of it :) This microscope was actualy being thrown out from the school I went to nearly 40 years ago. Helps that it lives in a nice wooden box ;)

@klandwehr Thank you! I thought it looked quite good in front of the piano.

@vincent Nice idea! Very useful.

@pratik Good idea, that could work for me. I’ll have a play with that when I get home to a computer to tinker with my feeds - away from home with only a phone at the moment and I know I’ll mess it up if I try on a small screen and no proper keyboard :)

@pratik Yep, I’d love the ability to hide certain post categories from my public timeline. I like to keep a record of things check ins and beers for my own personal ‘journal’ but they can’t be of much interest to others :(

@macgenie Great! I’m looking forward to attempting this - anything to encourage me to take/publish more photos!

@pratik I think they must be my Swarm location check-ins forwarded to Micro.blog by OwnYourSwarm when I’ve done a check-in without an image. On my site (rather than just the feed timeline) they should have a location map with them. I need to figure out a way to append a ‘checked in to’ message to these to make it clear!

@jemostrom Nice and industrial! Yes, I really want to try and keep my albums well organised. Ideally I'd like to go through and add descriptions or titles to each image too, it's just very time consuming :(

@Gabz The pub must have had 50+ of these metal signs plastered over their walls, not sure how they came by them of all! I pictured the 2 that appealed to me most ;)

@hollyhoneychurch 😊 - she must take after her mother rather than me!

@kitt First time I’ve seen it and I was also quite impressed. Got to admit I also liked Oblivion, even though most of the reviews I’ve seen of it aren’t too good...

@Bruce I haven't yet - I've got all episodes recorded but wanted to re-watch the film before I started watching the series. Mission accomplished!

@macgenie There's trakt.tv which I believe is similar to Letterboxd for TV (and movies too). I've only just started using Letterboxd though so haven't really looked into trakt too much - it does cover Vera :)

@ReaderJohn I thought so too. I only knew of Michael Rosen as a children’s author and BBC radio presenter, didn’t realise he also wrote ‘for adults’ with such a political slant.

@macgenie @smokey Sadly this also means that I was born closer to the 1920s than I was to today ;(

@markleichliter @vasta Thank you - helped that it was a lovely sunny December day in Cardiff, warm enough to sit outside a bar with a glass of wine and appreciate the view :)

@crossingthethreshold Nice capture!

@devilgate Just posted a link to an article about this - Politics and Insights blog - and have now seen and read your post.

The whole situation dismays me. Like you, I don't really understand how this scourge of anti-semitism seems to be thought of as the position of a party and a leader that have always been (to me) so profoundly and explicitly anti-racist.

@joeltimmins Excellent! As @pratik says, the more you watch the easier it gets - and having a good commentary along with what you're watching can also help. The technology now used in the international matches has advanced hugely - IR hotspots, video reviews with multiple cameras, ball tracking, the 'Snickometer'. I think that all this scrutiny can point out what the umpires are looking for and assist in explaining the rules too.

@pratik Yes, England really didn’t have an answer to that. Their bowlers couldn’t make a breakthrough and batters couldn’t match that performance (with the possible excuse that the pitch was deteriorating slightly towards the end).
