Wasted nearly an hour yesterday trying to log on to my MacBook but it just would not recognise my password (which I knew was correct!) Finally managed to use a recovery key to set new PW. Suspect it was an OS update issue. Anyone have the same problem?

I’m not normally a huge fan of his music but the latest Bruno Marrs single is annoyingly hummable. #earworm

I am so with you there Gary.

Well, I feel part of the hamlet now. The dog of one of our neighbours recognised me this morning. 😁

Disliking Bryan Ferry would be like deliberately spilling ketchup on a clean white tablecloth

🤣🌧🌧🌧🌧

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Bird people. Yesterday saw a large bird of prey sitting in a tree on the lane we live on (sure by open fields). It had dark plumage with yellow/golden feathers on the top of its head. Could it have been a golden eagle, in Cornwall? #birdsky

Well, we had a weather warning for ice tonight, didn’t expect the wind currently making our patio doors move in and out! 😳

Ratcliffe is an immigrant in Monaco, where immigrants have properly taken over. Maybe being rich makes him think its different for him. Massive Hypocrite.

Loving the Snowboard Cross. #WinterOlympis26

ICE will be at the #WorldCup. Another reason to demand matches are moved out of the US: it’s not safe. Let’s not let Trump hijack the competition to feed his ego, whitewash his reputation, or advance his authoritarian agenda. Sign the petition linked below.

What I find fascinating is that the streaming wars were supposed to give us all choice and flexibility, only for us to end up exactly back where we started.

Well that was close for Afghanistan ! #T20WorldCup

The fightback BEGINS! #SaintFC 😁

We don’t need more food banks, we need change. Repost if you agree.

Can anyone translate the BBC commentary for the ladies Big Air final for me? 😁 #WinterOlympics2026

Just got tkts for CMAT at Eden. Very happy 😁 #MusicSky

Milton Jones. New Mock The Week. Hilarious!

VAR must go.

THIS IS THE BEST!! Please pass around. 📰👮🛡️

OK, so what hashtag are we using for the Winter Olympics?

Does anyone understand what the commentators are saying? 😆 #WO2026 #MensBigAir

Well #SaintsFC that was a nice little win. Some header by debutant Larin.

New neighbours have moved in.

Ah, some early morning mixed doubles curling whilst I drink my coffee. Lovely.

So, see a delivery man park outside. See him use his torch to look at our house name and the address on the parcel. See him walk to two of our neighbours. See him come back and leave parcel on our doorstep. Go and get parcel. It’s for a house further down the lane. Bl**dy useless EVRI!

Four albums you consider masterpieces? - Diamond Dogs - David Bowie - Snowflakes Are Dancing - Tomita - Aja - Steely Dan - What’s Going On - Marvin Gaye #FourAlbums

Why did nobody tell me the curling has already started? #WinterOlympics

(1) why are the BBC showing Farage, again? (2) why aren't the BBC investigating Farage's financial and political links to Epstein, via Steve Bannon?

Why on earth does the FTSE keep going up? 🤷

And here's a great live version of Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads filmed in Montreux in 1982. Watch the full concert at youtu.be/ldwpwrW6tno (THREAD)

Happy 45th birthday to Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads, released as a single on this day in 1981. Here's David introducing that video

An alt text question. If you put quote marks “” around a phrase in alt text does it mean anything to screen readers and the like?

Tonight’s “Cook along to music” is brought to you by The Ohio Players (less funky, but a bit more soulful than the original albums).

Getting ever so slightly p*ssed off with all of the rain now. 😡

Any track on Blackstar by David Bowie.

Happy Birthday Roddy Frame, the genius behind Aztec Camera. #MusicSky

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️ youtu.be/BRHxXHZmVAM

Ronnie Scott would have been 99 today.

Morning. Blue sky.

Terry Pratchett’s writing could have identified his Alzheimer’s years before his diagnosis. Changes, over time, in his linguistic baseline (the range of words he used) could have provided earlier clues to his disease a university study has found. Could lead to a new diagnosis technique. Fascinating.

Another storm. 🫤😬🙄

Only one of the *the* greatest drummers. Period, end of story. Salut.

What a lovely wine.

Watching Tron Ares. Just why did they think making this film was a good idea? It is so bad I just cannot switch it off! 😁

Leo Scienza will never have to buy himself a drink in Southampton again if #SaintsFC win this. 😁
