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

I've finally listened to the Ray Brooks album, what a banger. Proper Emitt Rhodes stuff and produced by writer of my favourite song, John Pantry.

When I lived in Maidstone, Tom Baker lived nearby and I would see him shopping in M&S and we used the same Indian takeaway. It was such a thrill. Happy birthday TB x

Thanks all for ideas here. I've gone with a clip on tuner.

Musical folk, I need birthday present ideas. My best friend's daughter is 15 next week. She's just started playing bass in an all girl band and seems to love it. She can't think of anything she wants. Ideas please!

Thoroughly recommend if you're in Bristol this afternoon. We saw Fortitude Valley last night in Oxford and they were really great.

Ordered! This album is a banger.

For those of you who are not following the careers of former Wycombe managers, Matt Bloomfield has already joined Oxford as Head Coach.

This is certainly going to make the next 'derby' match a bit spicy! #Chairfolk www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

@brokenbiros.bsky.social Have you listened to this? I'd say it was up your straße.

I'm surprised this hasn't crossed my path before now, I'm rather enjoying it tidal.com/album/450971...

@panchoballard.bsky.social I'm just listening to Library Music now. It really is a banger, well done you.

@neilclasper.bsky.social Are you at the game tonight? I've only just seen your draw, blimey!

Someone on my bus smells of ralgex. You don't get enough ralgex smells these days.

This is my new album. It's instrumental, apart from some crowd chanting on Your Gold, Mr Bridger. The average tune length is two minutes and eight seconds. There are fourteen tunes. It sounds like old telly music. It's ace. I'd love it if you listened. I've love it even more if you shared it.

Put down your phone, your book, turn off the TV and go and put a hot water bottle in your bed.

I really enjoyed the episode of @grindrod.bsky.social's Monstrosities Mon Amour with @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social on the fens. I live in the Chilterns and have family in the fens so absolutely recognise the discombobulation of being surrounded by so much sky johngrindrod.substack.com/p/monstrosit...

@brokenbiros.bsky.social I've listened to a couple of your 2025 albums today, the Jade one is really great. Macca thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

@hughesrich.bsky.social Do you know any Cambridge promoters that might be interested in some electronic noodling?

Hey we are looking for gigs outside Oxford this year. Does anyone we know know any promoters in striking distance of Oxford (Birmingham, Bristol. London...maybe further) who would be interested in our stuff? DM us or let us know please! #livemusic #liveelectronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

I've finally seen Licorice Pizza. I'm looking forward to moving on to films that came out in 2022 next.

Really pleased with the @wwfc.com performance today. Taylor Allen made all the difference when he came on. There's the makings of a solid side. #Chairboys

I don't suppose anyone has one of these Vax vacuums and knows why it might not turn on? We're away and could really do with using it now!

Thank the lord for church book sales!

Our parish magazine is called Contact and I sing this every month when it arrives. RIP. youtu.be/_xSRUi8sOoc

First time doing Mario yoga after Parkrun, the joy of grandchildren!

Thrilled to get a copy of this by @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social in my stocking this morning. I've had the follow up for ages and waiting to get this before reading them both.

Thanks for my annual wrap up email giffgaff. Good to know I sent 9 texts. "You only talked on the phone for 123 minutes. And we bet you wish it could all have been said over text." Maybe they do know me.

If you're in a solstice frame of mind can I recommend this episode of @peteralanross.bsky.social Upon a White Horse. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/.... Andy Clark has the most gorgeous voice as well, so lovely to listen to.

This is Karen's to lose, right? #Strictly

@panchoballard.bsky.social We've got your lads down today...

@panchoballard.bsky.social I've just bought some stickers but don't feel you need to rush out to post them. I'm happy to wait.

@annkempster.com As if you needed enabling!

It's the sticker set you've all been waiting for - Power Stations!!! Includes bonus Power Station sticker.

@lickedspoon.bsky.social Have you got your puddings out yet? I was just thinking about them!

Nearly had a heart attack when Songkick notified me Geese were playing in Reading next year. It's the festival 🤦🏻‍♂️

At a village event about 10 years ago my husband went to collect two pizzas and was asked whether it was for a man or a woman. Turns out the pizzas for women were being cut into 8 pieces, rather than 6. We still describe pizzas as being for a man or woman even now. (And it's *fewer* calories).

My fabulous colleague Anood with an interesting fact for first thing in the morning...
