Having fun with some #BoatRace shenanigans for a side hustle…

A bientot #WinterOlympics Grazie mille for a dose of proper snow, awesome achievements and inspiration. And to the Blue Skyers for the giggles during the ceremonies!

I’m absolutely clueless as to what flowers have to do with the Winter Olympics, but it’s a stunning visual! #ClosingCeremony

“And thus the Sellotape of competition melts like snow…” Reckon I could write these ceremonial spiels! #ClosingCeremony

Just seen the singer’s breath. Really hoping that stage has underfloor heating. Those poor dancers must have been freezing! 🥶 #ClosingCeremony

I’m going to miss the many gorgeous hats. #ClosingCeremony

As a Venice-ophile I am LOVING this! 😍 Bravi! #ClosingCeremony #WinterOlympics

If the Borg took up ballet #ClosingCerenony

Commentator: “The highest honour in Norway is the St Olaf…” #ClosingCeremony #WinterOlympics

The Spamalot Dance Troupe #closingceremony

The golden cape people are giving strong Doctor Who villain vibes. 😬 #ClosingCeremony #WinterOlympics

King Klaebo 🇳🇴 #NOR #ClosingCeremony #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics #WinterOlympics #WinterOlympics2026

More awesome hats! H/T to the milliners of Milan 🎩 #ClosingCeremony

Commentator: “These are photos celebrating ordinary Italian people” Me: starts Googling flight tickets #ClosingCeremony #WinterOlympics

So that’s what happened to Timothy Claypole!!! #rentaghost #uknichepost #closingceremony

The Italian hat game continues to hold strong! #ClosingCeremony #WinterOlympics

The guys raising the flag wearing caps that had feathers in them? They are Alpini, the division of the Italian army that specializes in mountain climbing. My dad was an Alpini, and two of my cousins. #olympics

Just when I thought the fantastic millinery was over… #WinterOlympics #WhereDidYouGetThatHat #OpeningCeremony

“The best of humanity is found in courage, compassion, and kindness.” 💪🥰☺️ Well said! #Olympics #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

I enjoyed the parade of athletes but still think that Team GB should have had the flag brought in like this. #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony #TeamGB

The notorious "Irish episode" of Stargate is rarely broadcast #Olympics #OpeningCeremony

I like how the Olympics staff standing on both sides of the Stargates runways went from choreographed moves, to swaying, to slight swaying, to just static, to just static and hands behind back or at sides lol. TBH... Some days I give that same energy at work lol. #Olympics #OpeningCeremony

I love the Olympics

Mongolia looking stunning. #Olympics

All these athletes with parents from different countries. Isn't immigration and the movement of people so cool #winterolympics

Loving the Black Books tribute at the #WinterOlympics opening ceremony 😂

Yay it’s Ireland! Top notch outfits. Aran jumpers and a nice hat. #WinterOlympics

If I pop along to the Olympic Village, do you think Georgia would let me in?! 🇬🇪 #olympics

“Ecuador - the volcanic wonderland” Erm, u ok BBC script writer?! Or did you just give it to AI to spiel out? #olympics 🌋🌋🌋

Pretty sure the Colombian outfits are a QR mind virus, and also invisible to bees. #olympics

Czechia very much "what if ALL the design?" #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

OK, sod the merch. I *need* one of these coats stat! #Olympics #Cosy

“That’s where the biathlon ski hunters will race…” - sorry, did I just hear that wrong?! 😬 #MayTheOddsBeEverInYourFavour #Olympics #Openingceremony

Some English captions from the Italian national anthem. This was painful. #OpeningCeremony

I wondered where I’d left the Sellotape! #Olympics #openingceremony

Wow, what a vibe! #OpeningCeremony #WhereDidYouGetThatHat

Respect for the synchronised cat walking here. I’d be all “sorry, do I go right here?” #Olympics #openingceremony

“Well, that’s different.” The ultimate British insult by a BBC commentator there, responding to 3 giant paper mache heads doing an 80s version of the Macarena as the dancers shuffle off! 🤣 #openingceremony

The Winter Olympics Opening ceremony reminds us that Maria Carey is not just for Christmas. If you're careful you can make her last till February. #WinterOlympics

Fever dream mode activated! #OpeningCeremony

Fuck it's the Weeping Angels. Nobody blink. #WinterGames #OpeningCeremony

An unexpected and extremely late entry to #DuvetKnowItsChristmas Delighted with my piratical bedding plus quick access to an arsenal of weapons should we be attacked by Captain Hook! 🏴‍☠️⚔️🛌

Doing pretty well on #DuvetKnowItsChristmas bingo. Remaining: 🧩 Jigsaws collection 🥁 Electronic drum kit 🚛 Caravan 🎺 Brass instrument 😬 Proper cancellation stuff - dithered over whether framed birds’ legs was taxidermy or cancellation Hoping another wave hits for New Year’s Eve. 🤞

Fav Grahamisms during #Eurovision “You can tell Basel is posh. All the buskers this morning were playing classical music. It’s like the Harrogate of Switzerland.” “He doesn’t seem overly thrilled to be here. It’s like someone promised he could go home if he just did the semi finals.”

I thought I'd found my favorite with Iceland's sea shanty rave. Then the Latvian swamp witches showed up. #Eurovision

Estonia’s knees are going to be tragic in 20 years time! #eurovision

Upside of #skytv crashing during #taskmaster : the awaiting download image was this: 😍😍😍

This copy of the 1300 revision of Magna Carta seems to have come from #Appleby in Westmorland which is an interesting addition to the history of that town, the former county town.. More on Appleby's history here from VCH Cumbria: www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/township/app... #Skystorians

#MedievalSky And everybody else who needs to know this: the journal Arthuriana has just published #OpenAccess this study about the illustrations in the sole surviving medieval copy of the story of *Silence*: muse.jhu.edu/pub/91/artic... If you've never heard of this amazing story, dive in now!
