New profile pic from our week in Madeira two years ago. Have a great weekend, everyone 😀

Happy Saturday, Bluesky friends 🧡

We went to see Hamnet this afternoon - the first time in years that we'd been to a cinema, and it was wonderful. Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday evening 👋😊

We haven't watched a film in a cinema since The King's Speech in 2010, but have just booked to see Hamnet this Sunday! More anon...

Love this! 🤩

Perfect ✨️

I've been reading, or in some cases rereading, all John leCarré's novels. Just finished this one.

January 2021. Out of retirement and into COVID-19 vaccinator action. Dark, sometimes scary days, but we got through it. RIP all those that didn't. Wishing you all a peaceful Bluesky Sunday 👋❤️👋❤️

Finished this Stephen King thriller last night. The story has no vampires or monsters in it (apart from some human ones). I loved it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE, AND BEST WISHES FOR 2026 ✌️

I'd been meaning to read this book for years. I started it on Monday, found it highly readable, and finished it last night. The story itself, with its ambiguous ending, was nothing like I'd expected.

We're just off to the panto (Sleeping Beauty) with our 3 dgtrs and 4 grchildren 😃😀😄😁

Good morning! Yes, it’s THAT day. The Third Day of Christmas. Not just one but 3 French Hens bring you your Festive Saturday Breakfast @bbcradio3 A tribute to these three fabulous fowl at 8:30 but Bach writing gorgeousness for 27 December before 7 too.

Merry Christmas to all my @bsky.app friends, and all those I've yet to meet 👋😃

Good morning @tommackin.bsky.social and everyone enjoying your show 👋😊 The complete keyboard concerto played by Murray Perahia on today's BachB47 was out of this world, thank you. Happy Tuesday, all!

@lucindahawksley.bsky.social That was a fascinating tour of Charles Dickens' London home in Doughty St yesterday evening, Lucinda, and it was lovely to meet you. Thanks also for signing and dedicating my nephew's early Christmas present to me - what larks! Best wishes 😊

Just finished this brilliant novel by one of my favourite authors. I was reminded of another of my favourite books, The Butchering Art by @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social

Good morning, Bluesky, especially any of my Wordle-ing friends. I want to recommend this book which I finished reading last night. Happy Thursday, all 👋😊

Just finished this, written in 1969, and has been on my tbr list for many years. A great read, imho 👍👍👍

Our Joe is fed up with this rain!

Our eldest daughter took us for an early birthday lunch in Rules Restaurant near Covent Garden at the weekend. Oysters to start and (for me) one or two large tankards of Black Velvet to continue. A lovely, unexpected treat ❤️

Good morning, Joules 👋 Have a super Sunday yourself!

And you, Joules. Happy Thursday 😊

Excellent advice!

Excellent!

“When you let people be who they are, you give them space to become even more.”Cheryl Richardson There’s something powerful about feeling safe, feeling valued, feeling believed in. That’s when the energy settles. That’s when the good stuff happens. That’s when we shine. 🧡 #humanness #kindness

I’m delighted to be included in this fabulous promotion, thank you @waterstones.bsky.social

Just seen this sad news! RIP Robert Redford 🙏 BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0... Hollywood icon Robert Redford dies age 89 - BBC News

Good morning, all 👋👋

Sharing this on the eve of tomorrow's vote. I am a palliative care doctor who is not opposed to AD. But enshrining in law a state-funded right to die, while not enshrine a similar right to the palliative care that might make life worth living, is so very wrong. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Happy World Book Day … stories are the thread that connect us, help us to stand in other people’s shoes, show us lives beyond our own. Now, as then (this is a 14th century manuscript speaking to us down the centuries.) Books matter, reading matters. Pass it on …

Reliably entertaining and informative. Give your soul a little treat with Petroc Trelawny on BBC Radio 3 now.

@gay.and.lgbt Not following you back, etc... You cheeky chap 😂

Publication day for the new 20th anniversary edition of Labyrinth with a fab new introduction from Ian Rankin. Available everywhere you might buy, or borrow, books …

Playing this morning the overture to an opera by Scott Joplin- new to me. Listen, learn and enjoy!

Have a listen! BBC radio 3 now. You will certainly hear something you know and love, something you've never heard before, and something surprising.

Photo of two boys - one vaccinated against smallpox, the other not - published in 1901 by Dr. Allan Warner. Smallpox killed over half a billion people in the 20th century alone. On 8 May 1980, the WHO announced its eradication, which was achieved through #vaccines, surveillance, and containment.

Someone told me yesterday that today is Suicide Monday. If you are struggling please reach out. Call 116 123 for the Samaritans or text SHOUT to 85258. You don’t have to feel like this. You deserve more.

Frost thick as snowfall here brrr 🥶

Just finished The Map of Bones, the final part of @katemossewriter.bsky.social's Huguenot series. We've enjoyed them all. Recommended!

Happy Christmas, everyone 👋 👋 👋

Joe likes this spot, but he'll have to move to make room for 🎁 😹

We live on high ground between the estuaries of the Thames and Medway rivers. It's blowing like crazy up here. Not going out. Have a good weekend and stay safe, everyone

Good to see so many Observer friends & colleagues on the picket line at King’s Place today. Hoping that GNM management will reconsider this senseless deal. If @sonia-sodha.bsky.social’s amazing face-art doesn’t convince them, I don’t know what will 💪🏼🐧 #savetheobserver
