Given myself a new project to finish until next Wednesday. What made me come up with the idea to embellish a waistcoat for the #FlorenceAndTheMachine concert?

The hooded crow neighbourhood watch is busy again. Fighting for the best viewpoint. The woodpigeon has to find a new one.

Wait Italians winning the luge competitions instead of the Germans? *is confused* 😆

Skispringen. Bisschen 😭 in den Augen #winterolympics #TeamD #milanocortina2026

The first lazy day in a long time. Couch, tea, knitting, Olympic winter games on tv.

Posting picture of a beautiful fox. Everyone "this is so cute" "oh I like this" "beautiful animals" Except for that one guy shouting "VERMIN" in the comments. Thank you for making it easy to block you.

The full clip, including McKellen's setup of the scene, is here, along with info about the riots (Evil May Day) and the text of the speech itself. kottke.org/26/02/the-st...

#throwbackthursday Vermutlich mein schönster Moment in 2025. Ich brauche das gerade mal.

Took a long walk in the snow on icy paths. And look who I've met again! #foxoftheday @chrisgpackham.bsky.social another fox waiting patiently for its prey to appear

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

Finds irritierend, dass bei Streiks oft geschrieben wird, es werde eine Lohnerhöhung gefordert. Tatsächlich geht es aber sehr oft vielmehr um eine Inflationsanpassung zwecks Beibehaltung des Reallohns. Das ist ein großer Unterschied. Leute streiken nämlich oft, damit sie nicht weniger verdienen.

Fresh snow covering all the icy patches on the pavement. Love a good Berlin winter where all the streets are cleared but no one cares about cyclists or pedestrians.

Sunday evening on the couch and I'm watching the recordings from the UK #SacredHarp 2025 Convention youtube.com/playlist?lis...

U - you are running into danger or N - NO (negative)

Read the entire thread!

Never knew how satisfying it is to mend a hole in a knitted garment. Today I fixed my gloves, my red cashmere beanie and a jumper.

Can the person who is trying to access my dormant instagram account please stop requesting a new passport every other week?

Ich mag nicht mehr. Und dabei habe ich immerhin das große Privileg einfach die Nachrichten auszuschalten und alles zu ignorieren, was in der Welt passiert.

Es ist so absolut absurd sich vor einer Woche über die vielen Krankheitstage der arbeitenden Bevölkerung zu beschweren und nur eine Woche später die Teilzeit abschaffen zu wollen, die für viele das Arbeitsleben gesundheitlich überhaupt irgendwie handelbar macht. Wie dumm sind die eigentlich alle?

Casually booking more theatre tickets for 2026.

#foxoftheday from last weekend when I was lucky enough to meet this wonderful creature ♥️ One for your collection @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

"Wenn man die Lage Polens auf dem Globus anschaut, sind die vom Deutschen Reich gestellten Fragen übrigens nachvollziehbar." Was für ein wahnsinnig gefährlicher Trottel!

Decided to go #birding today. Earlyish start around 8:30. home by 2:30pm. Walked over 10km around Pichelswerder and over to Schildhorn. Did not see any smew (sadly) but lots of little grebe and goldeneye and these fellows. The hours in nature grounded me & took away the inner restlessness.

Last performance of #TwelfthNight at the #Barbican tonight. Thank you @the-rsc.bsky.social for brining this wonderful production to London. Each (of the 4) performance I saw was so special. Some a bit quieter than others but in each one you could feel the 🖤💛 that went into this production!

Someone tell my brain that it is okay to do NOTHING for a day or two.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Settle-Carlisle railway. The Ribblehead Viaduct is one of the most iconic pieces of Victorian railway engineering in the UK, carrying the Settle–Carlisle line across Batty Moss. 📸 Wendy McDonnell | #ThursdayThoughts #YorkshireDales

This was in intense read. There are some actors whose performances will never leave you because they are somehow part of who you are or have become (and I am not referring to his HP role here). 💔

I've been knitting these tiny sophie scarves non stop since 2022. And I think by now almost everyone of my friends who wanted one has one. If not: let me know. I have a lot of leftover yarn to knit striped ones now. Calling this one "traffic cone":

#winterwonderland Berlin.

Have a good 2026. And don't push yourself too hard ♥️

What's it with people who always blame everyone else but never look at what they might have done to upset people. It's always the others fault.

Geringe Auslastung my ass liebe Bahn.

'Afterglow At Durdle Door' What began as a very uninspiring sunset at this iconic location, transformed as the afterglow emerged. Beautifully illuminating the sea arch, adding much needed depth and mood to the scene.

celestial familiar 🌟

Yes - it's in the Meavy river valley, where the river keeps the air moist + the woods + hillside trap the moisture + cast shade, so everything is covered in moss. Photo's from earlier in the year.

#Birding often means staring at bushes and people walking past me wondering what the heck I am doing. But I was trying to spot the little goldcrest that was hiding in there.

You know what helps? 2 hour walk in the bitter cold.

Friend of the family who was also my old swimming teacher and who I've been in the lifeguards with for 20 years has died. Didn't know about it until today. My mom went to the funeral yesterday 💔

Love how my dad often replies to messages with a single emoji and I'm left wondering what the hell he means.

Der Markt wird's schon hinrichten.

Returning from a short city trip to London on Sunday night and having to go into the office really early on Monday

@deutsche-bahn.bsky.social so: ach warum sollte der FEX zum Flughafen BER weiterhin von Berlin Gesundbrunnen fahren? Wenn wir den über Südkreuz und Potsdamer Platz leiten sparen wir Fahrtzeit! Der Norden Berlins wird weiter vom BER abgehängt. Toll. Am Potsdamer Platz wohnen ja auch so viele Leute!

John doesn't call me Chops any more, it's Wifey now.

AI chatbots instead of real customer service people are the WORST! I haven't encountered a single one that could actually help me. Currently stuck in a chat with BA because their website once again failed to check me into my flight properly. This happens every single time.

Autumn colours and the car we had when I was a child #photooftheday (each time I see it, I'm reminded of the scratchy brown seats. I think we had that Opel until I was five or six)

My neighbour has a good singing voice I just wish the wall wasn't paper thin. Trying to follow an important meeting, wearing noise cancelling headphones already, and I could hear him so clearly that I could not focus at all. So I had to ring their doorbell and tell him to Please! Stop! Singing!

It's #GivingTuesday, and CFTA's Big Festive Fundraiser has just begun ✨ This week, and this week only, your donation is doubled. Help us raise £25k and step it up for the arts in 2026. 👉 donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Attempting to make quince bread tomorrow. Wish me luck! Never tried it before but a colleague made some the other week and it was so delicious. And my supermarket has quinces...
