3-2 Got the winner answering the last question before the buzzer. #universitychallenge

Disgusted in Tunbridge Wells, if Common Land developed commercially? It looks as if the status of protections for common land are to be tested in the sale of a privately owned common in Tunbridge Wells, which includes a title of Lord of the Manor & a car park alleged to have development potential.

Why are the BBC showing a video from 1980 again rather than showing the second semi-final live? #bbc #icehockey #winterolympics

Brilliant

So much drama again in the ice hockey. Really enjoying watching the Canadian all-star team. Top quality sport.

Finished Vigil by George Saunders in less than 3 days! I’m a notoriously slow reader so shows the pace of this text. #booksky

A new study pinpoints two species of bacteria that work together to dry out the lining of the gut and cause constipation

This match is superb #icehockey #CANCZE #winterolympics

Got to meet one of my writing heroes last night. Attended my first How To Academy event: George Saunders in conversation with Richard Ayoade and got a copy of George’s new book signed afterwards. #booksky

Summer is just around the corner

Really enjoyed Mozart’s opera Cosi Fan Tutte performed by the Merry Opera Company. I’m not a big opera or Mozart fan but was won over by the live performance. Extra interest added by seeing our local Spoons transformed back into its former opera house setting for the show.

I’ve finished another excellent book: ‘How Migration Really Works’ by Hein de Haas #booksky #reading

Loving the ice hockey in the Winter Olympics.

Great news amidst all the gloom. There have been a lot of beaver releases but these wild releases are really significant in England – finally we are giving this life-giving animal the right to roam. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

With less that two weeks to go until the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon, I think I am Half fit, rather than being half fit, for a change. Not taking anything for granted though. #twrunning

@samd23.bsky.social are you volunteering at the TW Half this year?

‘Olympic Hockey‘ is trending on BlueSky. If you click on it, none of the posts presented mention, or are about, hockey. Is BlueSky broken or just going the way of other platforms?

The snowboarding women’s big air final was excellent #winterolympics

Buster Keaton films, the main feature paired with REM tracks and a short accompanied by music by Amon Tobin. Worked well with the music and Keaton is a cinematic and comic genius. #filmsky #music #cinema #independentcinemas www.picturehouses.com/movie-detail...

First time using fresh turmeric to cook with - I had only ever seen the powdered form before. Finished grating and realised I will have yellow fingers for the rest of the day. #turmeric #cooksky

A beautiful morning and an excellent collection of birds on the morning walk - robin, crow, wood pigeon, blackbird, coal tit, blue tit, wren, magpie, song thrush, greenfinch, siskin, dunnock, great tit, goldfinch, jackdaw and sparrow. 16 in total. #merlin

Happy monthiversary @briteeyedviolet.bsky.social ❤️

Not a play I knew beforehand, but really enjoyed this production at the National #theatresky

A reasonable turnout for the RSPB’s #BigGardenBirdwash. These are the usual regular visitors to our garden along with robins, dunnocks, starlings, sparrows, greenfinches and siskins.

Great to see a timeline in chronological order. Thank you @bsky.app for giving users want we want to see, not what others want us to see.
