@mirandakitten.bsky.social I can't remember if I introduced my latest lodger; this is Joseph, who was rescued from some allotments in Beeston on the far side of the city a few months ago.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Coffee. Birdsong. High cloud. Shipping forecast. The day's propitious omens.

@sonofhicks.bsky.social Well, while I have strength in my arthritic, rsi-prone fingers, I must wish you a happy birthday. I suppose. 🤨

@mirandakitten.bsky.social ❤

@rose58pf.bsky.social Hello Rose, thanks for the follow & I've reciprocated. If I may add an opinion to your bio about how one man can fo so much damage to your wonderful country & to the world; I thought that there are checks & balances in place which should safeguard against one man's madness.

@elizabethalker.bsky.social @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social Daybreak, listening to Unclassified, the morning's clarity matched by the music. Radio 3 offers so much, but of the straight 'presenter plays records' shows, Unclassified is head & shoulders above the rest. I can't praise the show highly enough.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Sorry to learn of the passing of another Barnsley icon, Jenni Murray, aged only 75. A groundbreaking broadcaster in so many ways.

@gidcoe.bsky.social There's a video of him doing this on YouTube with the lovely Patsy Ann Noble, but the sound quality is better here. youtube.com/watch?v=SqCq...

@ianmcmillan.bsky.social Busiest Wednesday ever? Haute Cuisine, Darfield-style.

@angelharpmusic.bsky.social Hello Angela, thanks for the follow, as I'm not handsome, have passed middle-age & am bereft of yachts or any other trappings of the nouveau riche, I think you may feel on safe ground with me. I had hoped to get to Darfield last night but didn't. It was fine today though!

@imcmillan.bsky.social Apologies to you and anyone else who saw my earlier post about Kenneth Williams' 'Gogol', I got the times wrong, it should have said 10.42 to 11.20 on BBC 4Extra. Thank heaven for the Sounds app! It sounded as stunning today as it did when I first heard it in 1991.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Good afternoon, I've just noticed that tomorrow on BBC Radio 4 Extra, 11.42-12.20, there's a repeat of Kenneth Williams' spellbinding portrayal of Gogol's 'Diary Of A Madman' from 1963. It is utterly brilliant & imo the best thing he ever performed.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Pie charts have started appearing sprayed on local walls. Police suspect a local graphiti artist.

@imcmillan.bsky.social A heartfelt moment today as Geoff Hutchinson, en route to his final resting place, made his last call at Darfield Museum, the wonderful institution created by Geoff and his beloved wife Elsie's efforts. A great man who left a great legacy.

@imcmillan.bsky.social A sombre, but heartfelt moment today as Geoff Hutchinson, whose efforts led to the creation of the wonderful Darfield Museum passed by the place we love so much, en route to his final resting place. A great man and a great legacy.

@imcmillan.bsky.social A few images from the new exhibitions at the Ferens Gallery.

@imcmillan.bsky.social I have a longing for pine needles.

@imcmillan.bsky.social This stopped me in my tracks. Absolutely stunning.

@elizabethalker Right up your street, I reckon. BTW, I'm enjoying your book so much I'm having to ration myself to a limited number of pages

Station Yomp. A woman barks somewhat defensively into her mobile. "I haven't done the maths Clare". A café proprietor optimistically sets up outside tables & chairs in a howling gale; I can hear his teeth chattering 50 yards away. On the train a woman talks of interview upskilling & oat allergies.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Good morning dear chum. Without, I hope, overstating the case, here in one paragraph is an illustration of one of the cornerstones of civilisation. Help, learning, self-improvement, opportunities, imagination, happiness; all here. It gives me hope for the world.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Many Happy Returns on your monument/ landmark / significant / ending in '0' special day, dear chum! May your day be filled with tea, cake, love and laughter, but mainly cake.

@barbmilne.bsky.social Hiya Barb! Thanks for the follow xxxx

@mrsironside.bsky.social Happy birthday Mrs. I. xxxx

@anniev12.bsky.social Hello lovely chum, welcome to your / my new home! xxxx

@imcmillan.bsky.social Good morning, have you heard about the new initiative by Lisa Nandy for a 'UK Town Of Culture'? Sounds tailor-made for a bid from Barnsley.

@mirandakitten.bsky.social Happy New year, lovely lady xxxx

@mirandakitten.bsky.social Happy birthday my lovely friend. I hope you caught your birthday greeting by the Hawk a little while ago, though it was a 'blink and you'll miss it' job. I hope your day goes well xxxx 🌹🌹🌹🌹

@jacquelineh-s.bsky.social Hiya Chuck, how are you foing? That really IS a cool profile pic you know. Like Anna Wintour but much nicer looking. I will try, yet again, to get into the habit of coming on here as much as I go onto X. Take care Honey, you're in my thoughts every day xxxx

@yoga1967.bsky.social Hello Chuckles, how are you? Mark and the cats ok? xxxx

@mirandakitten.bsky.social Morning my love 🌹🌹🌹🌹

@mirandakitten.bsky.social Good morning, Superstar! XXXXXXX

@mirandakitten.bsky.social Tomorrow's Quiet Moment /Factory Reset / Snoozetune / whatevs on Nathan Shepherd's early show has a small, bijou, compact contribution from Nottingham's Mr. Misery himself. I hope you enjoy it xxxx

@samvangeffen.bsky.social Good morning fella. I've got about 12 suggestions for Factory Reset, some vocal, some instro's; Do you just want the straight list or any blurb to accompany? Or would you prefer to see if you actually want to use any of them and then I can give you a few details?

@james.crid.land Good evening James (assuming you're in Brisbane). The 'follow' is much appreciated, though no offence will be taken by unfollowing as you establish that I am a rather dull fellow. I'm getting on a bit now but my age granted me the pleasure of hearing 4 great Aussie broadcasters.

@chrishawkinsdj.bsky.social You don't shake me off that easily.......
