Hey, everyone! If you don't already know. This is the cordial of choice to refresh you in lovely weather.

Thanks to @russincheshire.bsky.social I'm able to make sense of $1 trillion. If I got $1 a second, it'd take 31,709 years to make that much. I'd need 400 lifetimes to accrue it.

Then some of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hEF...

Today, the weather was perfect: tidied the garden and familiarised a cat to it, while drinking home made beer and listening to lots of music. Not listened to this in years, and it was beautiful. I had the whole lp on though, of course. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kret...

Maria has got a new passport. I look forward to what we'll do next. This is about Maria and me seeing stuff because she's got a passport. We like it. rainbowsmile.bandcamp.com/track/get-away

Saw Thraa last night in the Sacred Trinity Church, in Salford. It is, apparently, the oldest church in Manchester and was founded in 1635. Thraa (and Smote) were both great too.

This sounds like the future. Hooray for good science!

A special #EasterCelebration to tell the Jesus story while watching Mary Berry make hot cross buns. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLjH...

If you know Manchester, you’ll know where this pic is.

Oh, how I wish El Goodo would get back together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjOL...

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Hey, America! It seems your president is ramping up global danger. Do you know anyway to let his supporters know that that is a very bad idea? It would be great if a communication breakthrough happened and they could see how bad this is.

(pt 2) AI Overview A squid is a fast-moving, [--------RE---DAC---TED----] mollusk (cephalopod) known for its soft body, large eyes, intelligence, and jet propulsion. Add any names you know, but the above fit the description. Anyone know how to deal with cephalopods?

SQUID INK Can anyone know what's true anymore? Do we walk or lurch, blinded by squid ink? Whoever, or whatever, influence Trump or Putin or Farage or... ...too many names that I know. I'm sure you could add more, known to you. (pt 2 below)

We lost Pat Fish a while ago, now Max Eider has gone to join him. So many memories of their beautiful music but this is one I even bothered to learn. RIP Max. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6d9...

Please sign this petition for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics. I don't care if you're left or right, Reform or Corbynite - we can't allow a hostile foreign nation to run riot in our political ecosystem. Sign and share. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

There is something about the angle of my view in Wallop (Manchester) that reminds me of the Nighthawks painting by Edward Hopper.

This cost nothing to record in 2020, when we all stayed home. The words were aimed at positivity and I'm happy that their aim can still be heard 5 years later. Sad and rubbish news will exist everyday + I will continue to, like you, complain of its cause. rainbowsmile.bandcamp.com/track/the-su...

Made me smile.

If Britain insists on issuing Identity Cards, I'm guessing the King will get number 1. It'd be interesting to see who gets the 666th one.

6 home brew flavours at the moment. Admittedly, there’s only 1 Ged and 3 Trevors

Another batch of homemade music. rainbowsmile.bandcamp.com/album/idiolect

To all the dick heads that like to rev their cars loud in cities and towns. ‘Brrrrum, brrrrum, brrrrummm!’ like a three year old. Try Lego, it’s more creative and less childish.

Book concept: People start finding books in a Little Free Library that were never written or published in this world. Some are exactly what the "borrower" needs. Some are a delight. But some are dangerous. And the Little Free Library just might have a sinister agenda...

Getting home to find a bundle of unexpected goodies is a great way to enhance a day. Cheerd @heathensquirrel.bsky.social

If each dollar of Elon Mollusk’s wealth was tone second, he’d have 12,184 years worth of seconds. 1 million seconds (and who wouldn’t love to be a millionaire?) is 11 and a half days worth of seconds.

Pooks (my cat) passed away a few years ago now. It’s good to see a coal tit making the most of some of his fur for nesting.

Well, Tunng were very special last night at the Brudenell. Wonderful!

A special Blue Sky song for Donald Trump. God Bless America. less than two minutes of badly played well meant frustration at the world. rock on! rainbowsmile.bandcamp.com/track/gba-go...

Just released an album. rainbowsmile.bandcamp.com/album/opsimath

Canadian House of Commons Member Charlie Angus: Canadians are very proud of our traditions. We know, having lived next door to our neighbors… that while our taxes might be slightly higher, it doesn’t cost us a dime to go to the doctor…

This theatre company is great. We saw the live play of this but will watch this filmed version. Thoroughly charming story telling. We see everything that we can by them (they’re based in Kent so we sometimes miss some.) youtu.be/EMxhblCLpkg

Well. That’s Twitter deleted.
