@iwa-uk.bsky.social Such a lovely depiction of two 'Idle Women' when they we actually able to have a little rest time. :)

@wowhaus.bsky.social A great thread of pictures of the furnished interior for your delectation. :)

@drrachelclarke.com How heartening to read such positive news on a specific palliative care need being addressed. :)

@fakehistoryhunter.net A colourful scene to cheer your day, and hurrah for all involved in ongoing folk traditions. :)

@catsofyore.bsky.social These two post from our National Trust explain why there is always a handsome marmalade & white 4 paws cat in residence at this special NT property. :)

@lemoustier.bsky.social This thread of posts from the Vagina Museum on the abject failings of ChatGP followed your earlier interesting posts here on academia using the same. Total failure to generate anatomically correct pregnancy images and labels even when correctly prompted!

@shrewsmorris.bsky.social Looks like absolutely first rate advice for his primary hobby suggestion. :)

Wonderful end of season blog from the splendid Dyfi #Osprey Project on the successful raising & fledging of 3 offspring & the marvellous upgrade plans happening for their 24/7 live broadcasting of the nest & surrounds plus new facilities at the Dyfi Centre next year. Hope DOP sign up on here too. :)

@churchcat.bsky.social Just in case you've not perused this online today, you're mentioned & quoted on the Tim Dowling piece in The Guardian, a quick link to the quote from the writer here: profile.theguardian.com/user/id/1085...

@lightacandle.bsky.social & @linda2.bsky.social A brilliant updating of this classic by McNeice and free to read even if you're not subscribed to his substackthingy.

@garius.bsky.social & @dreadships.bsky.social Blackburn Aircraft of West Dunbartonshire post war construction work. Fascinating that on checking street view around the area lots of these prefabs still remain in various states of external modernisation eg insulation. Might be the most colourful. :)

@lizanderson.bsky.social Interesting short piece on using shore finds for you, if you've not seen it already. :)

A superb duo from the mastery of @martinrowson.bsky.social Part 2

A superb duo from the mastery of @martinrowson.bsky.social Part 1

South Shropshire, where the history and now expansion of environmental recovery and protection is welcome good news and rightly celebrated.

@rosamundi.bsky.social A thread on Scotland Cricket historical stuff now being archived. Very remiss of me in that I never think of cricket being a sport played in Scotland.

@museumbums.bsky.social Quite an arresting sight for members of the congregation sat below in quiet contemplation. Apotropaic bums, a new category for your listings?

@catsofyore.bsky.social Thanks to your informative posts I've learnt much about how this illness is treatable. This is a very special boy, he's receiving the best of care and has many of us fans here watching his progress from tiny kittenhood. :)

Matthew Webb and his splendid achievements were humorously celebrated by Sir John Betjeman in his poem The Shropshire Lad and performed by him on his 1974 fun LP Banana Blush with music by the great Jim Parker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=72O4...

Live to your laptop/phone/tv news - as Oysterband play, for almost the last time ever on their final tour, catch the while you can @shrewsburyfolk.bsky.social festival. :)

@themerl.bsky.social Oh my, it's the trouser wearing chicken in action! Now having flashbacks to when your splendid old manuscript page border drawing of a chicken wearing trousers was the SM hot news, fun times back then! :)

@sheepio.bsky.social Did this one make it to your timeline, what a brilliant way to be present at the protest and also fool the law. :)

Some smile raising moves on a sunny day from a great place. :)

Listen up and do what they suggest folks:

Well look you here, some positively good news for Folk folk musicians, artists and fans in UK & Ireland. A new Folk Album of the Year Award is launching this year with the award ceremony happening next March. Check the info below:

@nadim.computer Just in case this hasn't crossed your timeline already, a thread with link to the published paper, by Tom Lehrer mathematician and comedic musical genius. My family had all his albums back then. :)

What Alison says is right, free listening anytime that suits you, and be entertained by eclectic, enthralling and interesting music and Genevieve herself. Find all the 92 shows so far on anywhere you listen to Mixcloud or via this link: www.mixcloud.com/Genevieve_Tu...

@wowhaus.bsky.social The last one on this piece you've featured several times. :)

@sheepio.bsky.social Now this one will be a keeper to be recycled for all future roadworks shenanigans. :)

@rnshiplosses.bsky.social This is a great piece of marine archeology, maybe could end up as a new one for your list even though it had been decommissioned?

@birchdryad.bsky.social Here's the video clip of CGP explaining his afterlife wish, it's what he was plotting all those years back. :)

@birchdryad.bsky.social Memories of a conversation with CGP at one of his talks some years ago when he outlined his plan to have I & S cremated when the time came, and keep their ashes so they could be mingled with his. Martin is a brilliant songwriter and performer, have seen him live many times.

@homeindouai.bsky.social This was the actual post on my timeline before your fabulous photo of the real dragonfly on the green painted object/background, combination caused me some momentary confusion. :)

@dreadships.bsky.social Wonderful to see the unceasing link betwixt folk song and dance, the sea, ships and all who sail on those waters. Folk folks love to have fun. :)

@thehodge.bsky.social Hello there, thanks for the follow, I don't post much but do interact with folks I know. Hope all's well with you and yours. Am very happy to repost any links you put on here to your Autumn/Winter light show fundraisers, if that's something you're continuing with this year. :)

@johnspiers.co.uk Very pleased to see this considered post from Shetland Library.

@sheepio.bsky.social Read this today and thought you might appreciate a giggle or two at how some chefs are 'playing' with serving this staple piece of home cooking. :)

Look see, those lovely Borthwick Institute for Archives @uoyborthwick.bsky.social folks are now collating their own videos in a handy place for us to view & link. :)

@sewingbee.bsky.social Please will you start posting on here now you have announced the next Great British Sewing Bee series starts on Tuesday 15th July at 9pm on BBC One. Thank you muchly. :) #sewsky #sewing

@genevievetudor.bsky.social Now this is just lovely, have yet to listen to your latest (yesterday) show but hoping Jez has sent you a copy of this album of his, tis always a joy to have new work created by him. :)

@genevievetudor.bsky.social They're on here :) Also, commiserations on the ankle accident. Tis an awfully painful thing and takes ages to heal, did one of mine in many decades ago, riverside footpath collapsed! Hope you're coping well and feeling more 'on the mend'. Love your great weekly shows.

@sheepio.bsky.social A good piece of journalism, and certainly find this denial that a problem exists by the company very disconcerting. We've no Co-op in this small town but even in their little branch 'locals' Sainsbury's, Tesco & Asda have more staff than this on all shifts.

@steb77.bsky.social I had meant to ask if you'd seen this piece in the Grauniad as the Meres & Mosses get a mention. Talks about 'bouncy bogs' but I presumed the great Chartley Moss wasn't listed due to the permit only access rule. :)

@genevievetudor.bsky.social Tis always worth the updates on here. :)

As, sadly, the marvellous Dyfi Osprey Project isn't on Bsky yet this is the update of the ID ringing & naming that happened early yesterday morn. Link to DOP website here: www.dyfiospreyproject.com/live #Osprey #BirdWatching #UKBirds

Am hoping this might be passed on via others here on BSky to reach a wider readership. Their RAF Cosford based museum is also undergoing a marvellous new development including exhibition space to show the huge collection of RAF artefacts currently in store elsewhere.

@uoyborthwick.bsky.social @garybrannan.bsky.social Made me wonder if you have a copy of this in your archives :)

@legolostatsea.bsky.social Don't know if you've already seen this good publicity from Orkney News, covers a subject I know you are well informed and passionate about.

@sheepio.bsky.social Do hope you've kept out of the sky falling wetness & enjoyed some fine liquid refreshments today. Read this in the Guardian Arts section, a really lovely article on Kevin Duffy of Wigan sculpture fame. What a fascinating creative chap he was. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

@homeindouai.bsky.social Meant to pass on this recent BBC link on China & cheaper EVs in case you'd not seen it already. Halfway down it particularly mentions Douai is the home of Renault EV hub & the AESC battery factory. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
