Good morning from Esztergom

'Our public libraries are free in three critical senses. Firstly, they cost nothing to join and to use. Secondly, they are open to all in our communities. We must also add a third concept of freedom: the freedom to read – to engage, without restraint, a diversity of knowledge and opinion'.

Rabbits, rabbits. Remembering our good friend Al. Gone but not forgotten 🖤❤️

Just posting Banksy... Seems to be the thing to do here.. #Cats

Erm . . . move along . . . nothing to see here . . . honest.

I have just had my first mince pie, a gift from a happy customer. Yes, I do know it’s September 😉

Just got back from the new Downton Abbey film and it was everything I wanted it to be. All loose ends nicely tied 💕

Welterusten from Amsterdam, and a special mention for @retiredbroker.bsky.social who introduced me to this new word.

Mr B: Did you buy any tat today? Me: Certainly not! Also me . . .

Good night from Amsterdam.

Not sure what to say about this novel. It’s a harrowing read but, in the light of current world events here, in Gaza, and in the Ukraine, it terrified and enthralled me in equal measure. It may well be my book of the year.

@tomorrowsgirl17.bsky.social Okay Janice, did you all have the most fantastic day yesterday? 💒 💍 🥂 ☀️

Wordle 1,538 5/6 What a nice pattern 🙄 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛🟩⬛ 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

‘Yes, I am indeed a fine looking kitty.’

Rabbits, rabbits. Remembering our good friend Al 🖤🩷 How is it September already?

🤣🤣🤣

It’s a hard knock life . . .

Well done Dan! #SewingBee

In the style of a grumpy six year old I’ve just called Mr B ‘Nelly Know-all’.

Wordle 1,511 3/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟩⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Quite pleased with this.

On the way home from work a very Welsh builder shouts down to his mate from scaffolding on a nearby 3 storey house. ‘So Dafydd, if I was to fall like how should I brace myself?’ Sadly, Dafydd was so softly spoken that I didn’t catch his reply.

@michmichael.bsky.social Michael, you’ll be proud of me. I’ve left a medium-ish sized spider in the kitchen to help with flies. If he starts darting about though we might have to part company. Autocarrot changed ‘darting’ to something else. Use your imaginations 💨 🤣

#LoveLiverpool Royal Albert Dock

I really hope this isn’t the last we see of the redoubtable Ray Lennox. #BookSky 📚

@tomorrowsgirl17.bsky.social Hi Jan, we’ve not heard from you for a while.

Rabbits, rabbits. Remembering our good friend Al 🖤 Gone but not forgotten.

I tried the new Jaffa Cake McFlurry today so you all didn’t have to. I think I’ll stick to the Smartie ones.

@townsendtowers.bsky.social Morning Jan How are you today?

I went to cinema to watch the Smurf film today and didn’t fall asleep 👍🏼

👍🏼

Another great book from Mr Billingham although, as usual, it’s dark subject matter, but handled with a light, and in parts, almost comedic touch. Yes, I do love Thorne and Hendricks.

For goodness sake Duo get a grip.

Goodness me, tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and Kitty will be arriving to join me in the Mystery Jukebox - 11am to 11pm (terms and conditions apply) See you there?

I really enjoyed this novel. So different from American Dirt but equally fascinating. #BookSky 💙 📚

We’re at Derby Market Hall Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th July 2025 from 8am to 5pm. The usual #greetingcards and #prints plus some #coasters and framed prints. And some cow stickers and painted stones and… whatever will fit on the stand basically. open.substack.com/pub/uphilldo...

I love coming across a cow parade when I’m on my way home 🥰

Local council: How was your visit to the tip today? Me: Rubbish.

My dad said I looked like a May horse (?!#*) in earrings like Sade’s. #LiveAid

Best song ever for this weather imho. youtu.be/SGCaDB2hwRs?...

Currently chopping up memory foam to try and make a pair of sandals comfortable enough for a whole day’s wear at a wedding. Might go in crocs 🤔

Happy #Caturday to all that celebrate.. Banksy would like you to buy a cat sofa so she earns her Dreamies sales bonus.. craftysharp.etsy.com
