Really enjoying the celebration of Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday on BBC1. The term 'national treasure' is overused but Sir David certainly is. Happy Birthday to a great man.

Indeed. 👍

On 20th Feb 1985 I went to see The Bangles play at The Marquee based solely on this photo I'd seen that day in the listings magazine Time Out. They were sensational. #TheBangles

Excellent thread. 👍

In England, our half-time entertainment consists of a 1990s footballer earnestly explaining the offside rule, and a detailed preview of tomorrow’s match involving a Manchester team.

The end of this year's Wolf Moon this evening as it rose still 'fullish' as it cleared the clouds. A lovely colour! 97.3% waning gibbous. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

On the train from Centraal to Schiphol, my hand luggage was stolen. A Dutch woman came to my rescue, phoned my bank so I could cancel my cards and took me to the police bureau so I could report it. Stayed with me to make sure I was OK. Incidentally she was the first of many who helped me.

Say this man’s name. Ahmed al Ahmed. A man of unimaginable bravery.

I genuinely hate having to plug my work on here. I would rather post my cartoons and drawings without a link to my website, but unfortunately social media is an important element of our business, so I have to do it. I do appreciate the reposts and thank you for the support since I came to Bluesky.

@ellengofton.bsky.social I hope you don't mind my asking but what part of UK are you from as Gofton is an unusual name. It was my mum's maiden name and she was born near Gateshead.

Back in May 2021 I posted on twitter about a journey I'd undertaken to find a tree that I can see from our bedroom window. I've decided to post it verbatim on here as lots of people really enjoyed it. So, here it is…

We got a lovely email from one of our USA visitors. 🙂 A good time to remind everyone we offer temporary memberships if you are only in Shetland for a short time - and that we have lovely staff!.

In fact I have two bucket list items this Autumn: am also singing Britten's War Requiem in Southwark Cathedral in November.

Bucket list moment! I'm finally getting to sing Elgar's extraordinary work surveying life, death and the hereafter. Singing it with @elysiansingers.bsky.social and orschtra conducted by Sam Laughton. Saturday 4 Oct 7.30pm @sinfoniasmithsq.bsky.social www.sinfoniasmithsq.org.uk/event/the-dr...

Informative and very moving thread. #7/7

Chucked off the train at Newcastle because a tree blocks the line North to Berwick where I was supposed to be picked up. Don’t suppose anyone happens to be driving from Newcastle to Melrose and can give me a lift?
