Has anyone considered starting a "Greenland Action" protest movement, so that we can give Starmer and chums a headstart on banning it? 🤔

Things are going to be interesting for Farage and his Reform chums now: they've been chums to Russia for some time and also buddies with Trump. But now that Trump and Russia seem to have fallen out of love with one another, I wonder which side they'll take? Or try to pander to both? 🤔

⚠️ The Met Office has issued an Amber Warning for snow. ⏰ The warning includes all of Charnwood Forest Geopark, and runs from 8pm Thursday - 9am Friday. Accumulations of 10-15 cm are likely fairly widely. 🌐 Read more on the Met Office website: weather.metoffice.gov.uk/warnings-and...

My first post on blue-sky. I'm interested in how people use this platform. LinkedIn is where I share work related stuff but I see folks are using blue-sky in a similar way. Any advice about why and how to use this platform compared to LI. And has blue sky totally replaced X for most users?

Tell us you're in middle management without telling us you're in middle management.

Hmm, a highly successful international renewable energy developer headquartered in #Denmark is being picked on by Trump's administration in the USA. Can we say the phrase "illicit negotiation bargaining chip"? #Greenland

Only 5 days left to apply for this incredible role with Westmill - don't miss out! Play a key role in the future story of our co-op 😀 Applications must be received by 5pm on Monday 12th January: westmillenergy.coop/news/westmil... #GreenJobs #Renewables #Cooperatives

I have been in a managers meeting all day. The big boss encouraged us to use ‘bluesky thinking’ so I made several knob jokes and ignored anything political.

#StormGoretti already given as a potential disruption reason on the railways this evening, which is impressive considering it doesn't arrive until tomorrow afternoon.

⚠️ Amber & Yellow Weather Alerts for Warwickshire – Thursday 8 to Friday 9 January ⚠️ Storm Goretti is set to bring snow, strong winds, and heavy rain to Warwickshire tomorrow. 🌨️ If heavy snow arrives: ✅ Check in on vulnerable family, friends, and neighbours ✅ Take extra care on the roads

BREAKING: The Security Team from Bantshire have boarded and seized a minibus from Kent University.

A bit warmer on my walk in this morning. I could tell because: a) I only needed fingerless gloves on, b) all the ice and snow from Tuesday morning had washed away, c) a schoolboy I passed was back to walking to school just wearing an open blazer over their white shirt.

Make America Great Britain Again! We know that many in the USA are regretting their foolish decision to go it alone back in 1776. In a spirit of forgiveness we will 'acquire' America as the property of Great Britain & will generously allow them full colonial status. #Manicfesto

Storm Goretti to bring high impact weather [Published 06:15 07/01/2026] #ukweather www.theweatheroutlook.com/uk-weather/7...

I have been saying this for some time to students seeking career advice: the energy sector is one of the most exciting places to work with a huge transformation taking place right now. Electrification is a game changer and means a redesign of our energy system as we know it.

Why don’t news and weather reports advise people about the worst risk caused by heavy snow which is hidden dog poo?

Finding myself waking up this year and checking whether America has invaded Greenland overnight. 2026 is already a weird year, and the first week isn't over yet.

Amazingly the calendula at my station are still in bloom in the sub-zero temperature and snow.

It's 09:26 and I've eaten neither cheese or chocolate since waking up. By body is rebelling. Christmas is over.

Outlook, outlook, burning bright, On the laptop full of shite; What immortal corporate jerk, Will mark tomorrows ‘back to work?’ O what pointless mailed enquiry, Will fuck the free bits in my diary? On what topic will he rile me? Will he dare to add a Smiley?

When they say the sausage rolls had been "binned", did they mean put under one of those glass domes BR refreshment rooms used to use to ensure sandwiches were both rock hard and curled up at the edges and soggy in the middle? Amazing devices the like of which we (hopefully) will never see again.

UK politicians. If you don't follow up your statement of "we support international law" with actual, tangible consequences for breaches of international law, then you don't support international law. You support the US's invasion and are happy to defend it. Don't tell us otherwise.

Time for intreppy ascent into the loftage there, conclubers of the festy seasol. Happilymost New Yearloder.

Just switch to renewables, then there will be no more conflicts over foreign oil.

Had a nice walk in the cold, crisp, clear winter weather today. Pootled down to the Old Tramway section that we're hoping to turn into a foot/cycle path whilst the cutting was frozen and not quite so "squishy". Going to be quite a bit of work but I'm looking forward to helping.

Before Christmas, when I was making door wreaths and "decking the halls" I was on the lookout for fallen mistletoe after storms. Nothing fell unfortunately. Today, first weekend in January, I go for a walk and with 30 minutes find a large clump on the ground. Bah! At least I can propagate it.

This evening I pitched up at a friend's garden in a village the other side of Stratford for a spot of wasailing. Good food, good wassail, good company. Fiddles were fiddled, songs were sung, a poem was read, an apple tree was libated, & evil spirits were banished from the orchard. All is well.

All MPs will be required to wear the slogans of the company's that they undertake any 'work' or accept any payment from . . . Like F1 driver & snooker players. #Manicfesto

Seed packet dates: they're flexible. "Sow by" dates are 2-3 years from packing - stick to this for carrots & parsnips, but brassicas can go to 4-5 years and tomatoes up to 8 years without much loss of viability if stored well. Home saved #seeds last an extra year on top #gardening #growyourown

I see Keir wants to "establish all the facts" and "speak to President Trump". Hmmm... Trump hasn't got a very good history with "facts" and "objective reality". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If Russia bombing Ukraine is a crime, then the U.S. bombing Venezuela is a crime too. You don’t get a pass because your flag is different.

Aw blimey: I spend a few hours away from the news and then come back to discover that #Trump has been following the playbook with his own version of "Lebensraum" expansionism into #Venezuela. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An early start for our first #RepairCafe of 2026.

Happening today! It is #RepairCafe time... so if you've broken something over the Christmas period bring it along to see if we can fix it!

Fancy an energy boost? @warwickshirecc.bsky.social www.actonenergy.org.uk/support/hsf-... @worcestershireccc.bsky.social www.actonenergy.org.uk/support/hsf-... @solihullcouncil.bsky.social www.actonenergy.org.uk/support/hsf-... @stratforddc.bsky.social www.actonenergy.org.uk/support/shebs

Can confirm. My ex had a young son who found reading hard and was not interested until he met me . I was regularly to be found roaring with laughter at a Pratchett or similar and it really intrigued him that books could be fun.

I hope this is a temporary communication issue and not another example of the current US administration screwing up science because it tells them facts they don't want (us) to hear.

There's a water leak and a large hole dug across the pavement just down the road from me. I assume the water board will be back soon to try actually fixing it, but in the meantime the freezing temperatures overnight might well produce an interesting ice rink by tomorrow morning

Presumably it has solar panels within its design? I mean, it would be mad not to do so, wouldn’t it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every year chocolates get smaller and more expensive. Extrapolating backwards, in 1906 a Creme Egg would have been the size of Rochester Cathedral and they would have paid you 12 guineas to eat it.

2025 has broken historical climate records with provisional Met Office figures showing: 🌡️ warmest year on record for the UK 🌞 sunniest year on record for the UK 🌂 Below-average rainfall (90%)

My landing is currently looking more festive than it has been all through the Christmas and New Year period! These are the seasonal #CommunityRail signage from the two railway stations here. I look after them for 11 months of the year. Drying off before heading up to the attic until Dec 2026.

Potentially could be a bit of #uksnow around tonight and into tomorrow. Looks light at best but if it is snowing where you are post your report and it will get added to the map at uksnowmap.com

I am taking the flight free challenge again. Last year my holiday by train was just as exciting as travelling by air #FlightFree2026 @flightfreeuk.bsky.social www.flightfree.co.uk

Just taken down Parkway station's #CommunityRail "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" signs, which was "fun" with random gusts of wind trying to blow them down the platforms and it starting to rain part way through me doing it. Town station's turn tomorrow - I hope its not snowing when I do it!

Happy New Year folks! We're starting 2026 with a #RepairCafe at the Methodist Church hall on Saturday 3rd Jan, 10am to 2pm. Bring your broken stuff and see if we can fix it!

I discovered this in 2025 and it always makes me wish I had an allotment although in truth, I know I’d be too neglectful. (It’s more about allotments than polytunnels ) youtu.be/mraMN1lILXY?...
