Flyover drummer synchronicity on my timeline this morning.

@grindrod.bsky.social I can confirm your other half has successfully promoted your talk to OU staff!

@gargarin.bsky.social The TdF Femmes 2027 route was announced yesterday and they're going to be in your neck of the words for two stages. I think it's starting in Leeds and then finishing in Sheffield. We're going to try and get to the London team time trial.

I've just done an IT dept 'escape room'. It was a lot more fun than it sounds, I may have even said out loud "come on LB, you've watched enough Sherlock Holmes" 😂

@panchoballard.bsky.social How do you cut your stickers out? I'm curious how it works on the single ones and on the sheet.

Remembering the 97. Never forgotten. #JFT97

I'm late to the Wendy Eisenberg party but this new album is really great. I'm going to have to dive in. wendyeisenberg.bandcamp.com/album/wendy-...

WOUT!!!!

An important piece of writing from @chrispaouros.bsky.social today. share.google/2XYKhQdWRHSa...

@chapmanio.dev We've just listened to the latest BBC Sounds Duff interview. Any thoughts on who he might have been talking about re having the right attitude? Sounded a bit like Leahy but that feels unexpected.

The sun is shining, the kölsch is flowing and I've just picked up a copy of Paul Jones's Privilege soundtrack in a Bonn record shop 😊

How very beautiful are these? Victor Glover was right. Together on that fragile blue globe we are but one thing. Let’s act accordingly. #Artemis2 #Artemis

I don't know what it's like in England at the moment but I'm in Germany and I am TOO HOT.

@gargarin.bsky.social Happy birthday bud! 🍻🌈🦖🎂🚀🎉💐🥳

The dark side of the balloon boom – is it time they were banned?

Flo has gone on holiday for two weeks with my parents. I'm just looking at the empty space left by her bed 😞

All of this. I've woken up thinking about the incredible performance.

We've just had some added Jessie Buckley with our Max Richter. Oscars glamour at the Royal Festival Hall.

Having finally watched the last episode of Small Prophets I was amused to see some of my OU colleagues turning up to look for meteorites. I'm not sure university budgets would stretch to three lots of travel expenses though.

What a week of gigs. Warrington- Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Shovel Dance Collective, Richard Dawson, Øxn, Circle. Now for bed!

Ok if any of the UK SF writers I follow or anyone else knows anyone involved in the film world who could throw a bit of weight behind this it would be great Community owned cinema in Oxford threatened by a greedy redevelopment c.org/ZCtqx4ktK8

This album is incredible and you should definitely buy the last copy.

That was brilliant. I'm not surprised Kim Stanley got an Oscar nod, she was chilling.

#Chairfolk It's nice to see this getting a bit of coverage in the local press www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/highwycombe/.... A couple of years ago I emailed BBC local news to ask why Wycombe never got covered and they told me we were part of the London region...

@gargarin.bsky.social #Chairboys!

Just my occasional casting of a line into the murky waters of social media to see if I can catch some new connections in * Milton Keynes * ... It'd be good to get to know a few more people with similar interests & mindsets locally!

@panchoballard.bsky.social You just got a mention on the Sunny 16 podcast!

@panchoballard.bsky.social My uncle is a big Doctor Who fan so I sent him a packet of your stickers, he's sent these back to me... The Han Solo one looks like it might be from the 70s!

In an unexpected-but-not-unwelcome development, am really looking forward to tonight (uh oh)

People keep on tilting their head and giving me a funny look when I tell them I'm going to Coventry on holiday tomorrow. Odd.

I don't know about where you are, but here there are really clear skies. Just in case: go outside; look up. It's glorious.

740/880 pages into Bleak House and Mr Bucket has suddenly gone all Columbo. I might read more of this Dickens fellow.

If this tempts you over to High Wycombe do let me know and we can have cake. We have caves as well you know!

For some reason I've just remembered that last night I dreamed about interviewing someone as a police officer and then I had a massive panic when I realised I hadn't read them their rights.

Oh man, they did it on his birthday! Harsh but fair.

@panchoballard.bsky.social Happy birthday Dazzalicious! 🦖🚀🎂🌈🎉

We've just watched Polite Society. Boy, that's a film that's a lot of fun. From the writer/ director of We Are Lady Parts. It's still on demand. share.google/hGcdI6pyTBA0...

I was in a meeting today and Dr Sheila Reith - inventor of the insulin injector pen - came up. I noticed she didn't have a Wikipedia article and the good egg @pigsonthewing.org.uk went and created one! It's great to be able to shine light on women scientists.

@pigsonthewing.org.uk This is a bit random but I'm in a work meeting and discovered that this pioneer female scientist doesn't have a wiki page. Can I convince you to add it to your to-do list? nhsforthvalley.com/lifetime-ach...

My sinuses are so sore I think my head is going to explode. Not fun.

I'm loving Canada's puffer, maple leaf blankets #WinterOlympics

@gargarin.bsky.social You probably already know about this, but I just saw when looking at photo walks, that there is a zine fair in Barnsley on 28/2.

Ooh, there are free TNT channels showing the winter Olympics 🥇🥈🥉

BlueSky, help me! Have you recently had a fine from SIP Parking Ltd, saying you hadn't paid enough for your parking when using the PayByPhone app? It may be because the app has updated recently and you didn't notice that you'd paid for, say, 10 minutes instead of 10 hours. Tell me! Please share.

We've all read Of Mice and Men, right?

Does anyone know if there's a website that aggregates and emails out showtimes for cinemas in multiple locations? One of our cinemas doesn't do a newsletter and I find myself constantly checking multiple websites to see if the film I want to watch is on.

As expected, this episode of DID with Adeel Akhtar is just wonderful www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

@brokenbiros.bsky.social Happy birthday lovely xx
