Playing DND with 9 year olds comes in two flavors 1. Trying to find ways to resolve things and make the Zombie our friend 2. Doing things that are recognized as war crimes

And mine! Do you think Bert could call my boss and explain…?

I cannot stress how much this sums up my feelings today.

Why do sports channels not offer an option to turn off commentary? I would regularly very happily watch cricket and snooker with the sounds of the match just creating a lovely background hum.

Walked into this coffee shop this morning and it has a Zelda-themed specials menu

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

A good photo by any standards, but given the equipment of the day a sensational one. Surrey allrounder Alan Peach loses his middle stump to Warwickshire's Harry Howell in the drawn Championship match at The Oval, June 16th 1927

More autumn rambles…

Autumn rambles…

Adverts and media: Look how wonderful AI is! Use AI! Search AI! Let AI control all aspects of your life! This morning I searched "Do SAD lamps work?" and got the AI response, "Yes. If you plug them in, they should work."

I have to repeat what I said at this time last year ... Now that the season is done a thank you to all the BBC local radio commentators who have provided a quality backdrop to my summer and also to the increasingly professional county video streams which keep us in touch and entertained

Windsor Castle Tuesday night. Four of us arrested for 'malicious communications'. Now released. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8V4...

"There's people who will cook food in their own homes and take it out and feed people who are less fortunate... That's patriotism. That's love for your community. And that's standing up for British values." Deputy Leader @mothinali.bsky.social on BBC Politics North this weekend.

One of the wonders of this time of year is when the sun shines as the leaves slowly start to change colour. The early morning sun sweeps across Chagford CC in Devon ...

Thanks to @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social for today’s board. I wholeheartedly agree. - Michael

Back in the day, the Zelda Infinite forums were one of my favourite places to go, and some of the best friends I had as a teenager.

Just noticed three books on the shelf in the stockroom that are next to each other called: * Something Fresh * Something Rotten * Something Wicked They're not at all related, but I'm inventing a series for them to belong to anyway. - Michael

Setting up for tomorrow's baptism!

It may have taken an entire year, but I have finally finished making the Great Deku Tree out of Lego!

Tree climbing, Adventure Play and catching up with old friends.

Our local garden centre is such a lovely place. As I sat with my drink and my book I was constantly distracted by the birds, bees and butterflies all flying around in abundance!

Gloucestershire won last year's T20 Blast and then started this season's competition by losing their first four matches. Glamorgan one last year's One Day Cup and, this year, they have lost their first four matches! Worth mentioning Glos have now gloriously won their first four One Day games...

Big thanks to Lewis for debunking the dangerous misinformation going around about nationality and sexual assault statistics. Bottom line - the big headlines over the last few days have no basis in the facts. Irresponsible reporting from major news outlets stirring up fear.

The Centre for Migration Control? A “Think Tank” ran seemingly by one guy called Robert Bates, a Senior Reform Campaigner in the Channel 4 Documentary released last year ‘Undercover inside Reform’s campaign’. His data is wrong and purposely misleading. #news #uk #politics

A revealing statistic: Of 899 people arrested in Britain last year for rioting outside asylum centres nearly 400 (41%) had previously been reported for domestic violence. The ones who scream loudest about danger to our communities are a danger to our communities www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

⚡ UPDATE: 2 activists have been arrested and removed by police.

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, I simply don't think there is a better song out there than We Could Be Talking by Clifford T. Ward. It is hauntingly beautiful.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

A lot of people get PIP because their disability affects all aspects of their life, so their score is made up of lots of 2 points. The change means that people who need support across a wide range of areas - eating, washing, taking medication etc won’t get PIP any more.

🚨A hugely important point made by Richard Burgon which all Labour MP’s thinking of voting for this Bill should be made aware of

...Is this considered cheating? 😅

Humble beginnings ... Eton's Henry Blofeld bowled for 0 in the 1955 Harrow match at Lord's. Blofeld was good enough to score a first-class ton and made 60 for Norfolk in the Gillette Cup. He also came within a whisker of playing a Test for England in India in 1963-64

Martyn and I started our pilgrimage walk today. We began with Morning Prayer at Hereford Cathedral and then walked down to St Mary's Priory Church in Monmouth. I'm feeling very achey now! 18 miles done, 57 to go.

A lovely way to start my week off. Time to wander and read. (Stourhead)
