Of course the Facebook and Threads algorithms will mean that April Fool posts by companies will not only appear now after 12 noon, but probably over the next few days as well. The Bletchley Park post just arrived, five hours after it was originally posted.

Today included this….

Good morning.

I didn’t know they were rebooting the X-Files. This is sounding interesting.

Use ice cream to ruin a film. V for Vienetta

Today someone at work mentioned Honest Mobile. I wasn’t on my phone nor on my computer. I did not search for it. Nor any related term. My colleague is not connected to me on the Facebook. So why oh why do these adverts now appear in my Facebook stream right now.

Down at the beach.

Not done that in a while. Connections Puzzle #1015 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪

What’s next?

I don't recall the last time I used an NCP car park. I think it was in 2018 or 2019. I avoided them for two main reasons, one was cost, there were always cheaper alternatives. The second reason was that they all seemed to be designed in the 1960s so the bays were really tight and narrow.

Now that's an interesting perspective on paying for parking. Parked in a council parking spot for more than two hours and got a £25 fine. Which was less than the £35 cost of the NCP car park. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Usually I fail completely at this game. Connections Puzzle #1009 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Oh I get it now.... wondering why people were all posting the same photograph. Ides of March and all that. Still looking like we might get more rain though.

Zack Polanski once ate a KitKat by eating it whole in bites rather than breaking it into separate fingers.

It is very windy out there.

Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of Russell Square The houses visible behind the trees used, I think, to house the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, now part of @ucl.ac.uk @uclsseeslibrary.bsky.social If you like this image, please repost it - remember, BlueSky has #NoAlgorithm

Someone just asked for the Stephen King book about the scary clown but they couldn't remember the name of It.

How I arrived on Bluesky

I propose that York is renamed Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate.

Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of Crewe and Alsager College, once an HEI in its own right; then merged with @manmetuni.bsky.social I don't think either of these campuses are still in use by MMU If you like this image, please repost it - remember, BlueSky has #NoAlgorithm

Sunshine and blue skies this morning, now we have just had a massive hailstorm.

I recognised that when helping people to understand the differences between problems and solutions I would often use a bridge building analogy. elearningstuff.net/2026/02/16/b...

The big question though, is will they smell the same.

Too much rain today, too much.

Getting better from that cold.

This weekend I have a cold. Sneezes and snuffles. Headaches and all. Why me? Why?

David Olusoga @davidolusoga.bsky.social once ran past and bumped into me as he ran for a train at Paddington Station. Please share your very low impact celebrity encounters here.

Just checking, who here is celebrating National Hot Chocolate Day. With or without whipped cream?

Plans to go out scuppered by the rain.

Today is the anniversary of great Somerset flood of 1607. www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/cont... Eyewitness accounts of the great flood of 30 January 1607 tell of "huge and mighty hills of water" advancing at a speed "faster than a greyhound can run" and only receding 10 days later.

The Office for Students (OfS) has published the results from a survey (from April 2025) on students’ perceptions of their providers’ response to financial challenges.

Enjoyed visiting this place today. The rain did hold off.
