📚I remembered I had backed up this graphic novel on Kickstarter (or something: I'm ageing), but I hadn't checked when it was due,so it was a lovely surprise to get it today. It's really wonderful, @colleendoran.bsky.social you did such an awesome job! @goodomensnews.bsky.social #pratchett #goodomens

For my continuing series featuring #Critters in my #garden, here is our latest acquisition. I'm guessing it's a she because she's rather large, no less than 8cm. I've read that the presence of #prayingmantis means the garden is healthy and #biodiverse, is it true? I'd never seen one in over 50years!

Today is World Alzheimer's Day, and we are proud to be supporting the Alzheimer's Society as one of our chosen charities, a cause that Sir Terry also endorsed. Take a look at their website here: www.alzheimers.org.uk/ #DWCon #DWConCharities #WorldAlzheimersDay @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social

Forgot to post this yesterday for the Rum thingy over at @dwcon.org - here's a nice little hot drink they have here in the Austrian mountains 🥃 I guess it might be Nanny Ogg's nightcap 😂 #discworld #nannyogg

🧶 So today I pulled out a pattern I've had for years and never tried - and of course I had to make it in a *totally different yarn*. People, let me give you the Willendorf Venus! (I just slightly re-engineered the headdress and added a subtle physical detail) #crochet #willendorfvenus #neolithic

💙📚 Really enjoying Dungeon Crawler Carl #1 by Matt Dinniman at the moment, it's good fun #summerreads #mattdinniman #dungeoncrawlercarl #books #morebooks #goodreads

In the light of recent events, it seems like a good choice for a re-read. 📚💙 #pratchett

Indimenticabile. Il migliore ❤️ #Berlinguer #neverforget

Latest #lego make! Love it 😍 Thought it would take me more time tbh. It's the Icons Kingfisher (10331)

Che bellissimo, bellissimo libro. "La strada giovane", di Antonio Albanese. Preparate i fazzoletti, e andate a fare il pane 💙📚

My husband @ocramipp.bsky.social got our gecko on camera yesterday ❤️ Gecko's been living with us for three years, I love to see how much he's grown. Or she. Anyway, I call him Douglas and I love to see him around!

🧶 Today for the wonderful Crochet feed here I'd like to introduce you to my latest pattern mod - a cool Flying Cow! My son asked me for this for his friend's birthday (apparently it's based on a running joke they have) and I made the wings and sunglasses 😎. ⤵️

It's the weekend yay! New book. Hope it's as good as #TheExpanse ones ❤️📚📖 #booksky

Simply marvellous 🤣

Seems that everyone is posting owls for #SuperbOwl, sorry to be late to the party but here I am with this pic I took 10 years ago at The Bird in Hand in Leicestershire where we were holidaying. Still one of the best AirBnbs I've ever been! This was one of their owls.

Short-eared Owl taking a short break from hunting over the marsh at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, DE. Always give owls space, don't trample sensitive ecosystems to get the shot, and never post nest locations on social media. #SuperbOwl
