Come the summertime you can't walk into a shop or pub without hearing Seven Days in Sunny June by Jamiroquai

Them: You need anything while I'm there Me: Go get me a Bovril The only person who understood immediately was my brother Andrew, who immediately responded, "Ah ah ah, leave your shoe"

#SewingBee has a few started in lockdown sewers

I *can* feel three kinds of softness

"Two people born in the UK could commit the same crime & face different punishments..." Shehab Khan explains how Britain’s power to strip people of their citizenship affects minorities, & how a Home Office minister justified the double standard in an exclusive letter. 🔗: zeteo.uk/subscribe

🎶I hate each Julie Andrews film they've made I'm just a nasty, narrow-minded jade🎶

What was that Murder Mystery and My Family 19thC case where there was arsenic in the rice pudding

This is a good joke but for those who are afflicted by being completely irredeemable monsters to be chased down the street with fire, it hurts Well, not as bad as what we did to be such monsters and when I figure out what it is, I'll apologise. But do take this preliminary apology. Sorry...sorry

I did not expect my most popular remark on her to be a throwaway quip about a comedy novelist

New P.G Wodehouse novel just dropped

Goodbye Sam Neill, may you again be reunited with the world's biggest cubic zirconium

I'm currently on this pattern and making fabulous light weight cotton gloves. These will be warm enough in winter but light enough to hold your phone

Happy 12th to her

I think I'll spend tomorrow finally doing @bananamoonstudio.bsky.social gloves. Because the heat is making the cane slip in my sweaty hand. Also the long cuff would probably stop the bruising from carrying several bags on one arm.

Dr Spooner's career as a continuity announcer takes another turn for the worse

Oh bloody nora. I had to play this on the keyboard for CSYS Music. How I got that B is anyone's guess, must've made it up in the Listening component #TOTP

Bit closer to the mic love. #TOTP

Charity singles have a lot to answer for #TOTP

Damn it I must be behind you all #TOTP

It's a deli platter with some antipasta. And it better come with a chilled white

Where's our Friday fun? We're in our mid 40s and sweltering and all we want is to drink gin and bitch about terrible music #TOTP

While @archivedelver.bsky.social is away, I get to treat myself to Japanese food. I also order Miso Soup and always give me two portions which means I have Miso soup for lunch tomorrow.

Two Simple Shapes is currently £2.99 for Kindle. Published in 2023 and by someone who has a proper presence on Ravelry. So it won't be slop. #crochet

That sound you can hear is loads of tweets from this morning hastily being deleted…

Film people are going to discover what happened to book people with GoodReads

Pen & Sword books now make you read your e-books on a proprietary reader. A proper download this separate app, no you can't have the file you need to read it on the app. They have minimal clout in the e-book industry and they think this is the way forward. I mean bravo for the chutzpah

Yessss... but being a female weirdo was hard, esp. as everything was siloed and the expertise was dished out by pervy gatekeepers. That is slowly disappearing, but... ugh... the quizzing. The nonstop quizzing.

Daniel Todmann's opening explanation about temporal money conversions in Britain's War. I want that kind of acknowledgement more often in history books.

I recognized he was doing the whole "bagel, schmagel" thing but I thought he may have found it on tin-pan alley.

Up late listening to Cab Calloway (Cab-a Calloway!!) This tune has become a recent favourite, so I had to look up why it was called that and it's a Yiddish sing from the late 30s youtu.be/ENIwYBvT8v8?...

I see Al Bowlly is still dropping albums. Not bad considering he died in 1941

Me between 6pm and 7.30pm youtu.be/atZS2PNi0pU?...

A reminder than you don't need to massive showstopper cakes for a kids birthday. You can blow their minds just with teddy bears and dinosaur sprinkles

Prime example of why you should always wind your yarn. That will have to be trimmed and rejoined

I got an early 00's tattoo that I thought was the Chinese for sing. Turns put it was the Chinese for an operatic form of Sprechgesang or like Walton's Facade. That's what you deal with when you get a tattoo. You dont get an accidental or ironic racist/third reich tattoo

Kermie, Kermie, Kermie, can we not have a news article about Simon Baron Cohen and Sasha Baron Cohen not appear in the same week? I mean I don't need two 00s comebacks

Building up a bag. Same yarn as pattern different colourway. Love it but it's a tough fabric #crochet

Today, I spend €93 on a bag, a summer top, and an autumn top. You wild extravagant thing. Wasting all your money. I bought it all in yarn and yarn kits. Oh, what a practical, frugal person you are

Ooft, every crochet person goes on about how hard the fine work is, but the heavy macrame cotton is an arm ache. Listen to the weight on this

Was talking in the yarn store about the heat, and we ended up discussing the fibre art dilemma of Christmas in July. If you want your projects such as sweaters, blankets, and craft fair items done by December them you need to start now in this weather. We're all melting under piles of Aran weight.

Finished my summer shirt today. I think I deserve a trip to the yarn store. Craft&aCuppa Hexi Shirt made with James C Brett Cotton Waves - Shade WV06 #Crochet

The new Audible 2 for 1 Sale has some decent titles, including a good sprinkling of BBC radio. That Mitchell and Webb Sound S1-5 & The Complete Smiley (with Simon Russell Beale as Smiley) are worth a credit www.audible.co.uk/special-prom...

Sun's out. Time for the traditional hot weather lunch

I don't know why, when I was ordering the shop, that I thought soup and a sandwich would be a good midday meal this week. I put an emergency salad order on Whoosh this morning

Bluesky today

yeah, take that Dimitrov!

Biriyani tonight, with fakeaway naans www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/quic...

Ah I don't need anything in the Steam Sale. The Sims 2 Legacy Bundle you say...
