Happy 40th anniversary to The Legend of Zelda! A series forever in my heart!

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

I see lots of books like Post Growth, Post Trauma and Post Depression. I'm contemplating writing a book about how emails mean we never send letters any more and calling it Post Post.

Here’s another idea - every adult is given training in how to reduce their carbon footprint and encourage nature. Just a thought, as we are now in a death spiral of ecosystem collapse and environmental catastrophe according to their own report. 🙄 @ukparliament.parliament.uk #UKGovernment

A useful 'roll out’ instead would be training to spot AI produced content and scams - and while they’re at it - training on online manipulation and lies 🙄

You always know things are going well when it's half past 12 at night and you're sat reading Wikipedia articles about Funhouse and Otis the Aardvark.

Our organist often plays Faure's Pavane before a service and I've frequently mentioned how much I like it. I've never gone on to explain I particularly like it because of the time S Club 7 used it in a song.

Yes some part of the press is calling out Reform's lies about net zero

Images you can hear...

I remember someone at the time describing this as Darth Vader's toaster and I stand by that description. Give me the GameCube any day.

Farmers are on the front lines of the climate crisis, with extreme weather leading to record losses in 2025. The govt must take urgent steps to invest in tackling climate breakdown now, including targeted support for farmers to move to more climate-resilient methods.

I think that must have been in one of the Gnostic Gospels.

Our leading run-scorer in the 2025 County Championship... James Bracey passed 1,000 first-class runs for the second consecutive season! #BecomeGlorious

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

Sunset over the fields.

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!
