A valiant attempt by the sun to break through the clouds this morning, but I think that's the most we're going to see for today. Very January 🫤 #my400

An unclaimed #buyastrangerabook offer from last week. In memory of a friend who died at the end of last year, @lancslass.bsky.social offered to buy TWO people a book each of their choice, up to £15. One's gone, but one's still up for grabs, so if there's a book you'd like, get in touch. UK only

A beautiful winter sky on my frosty trundle out and back this morning #my400

This, my friends, is what the internet is for! One of the best rabbit-holes I've popped down in a long time - a detailed discussion of this weirdly appropriate Hardy legend, with a bonus wander around the origins of the word "shitgibbon". I heartily (hoho) recommend it to your attention

@sparklyfellelf.bsky.social How are you doing, lovely?

3 of these footstools left. Now 40%off craftysharp.etsy.com/listing/4409...

Repost this with your home river. The Leven, in North Yorkshire, which flows into the Tees, ran right through our cow pastures. We fell in it, paddled in it, hunted for fish, watched birds, built rope swings, crossed it on fallen trees and floated a rubber dinghy down it. Not down this bit though 😁

Luna is here and after a very quick and chilly walk I stuffed her Kong with banana then shoved a couple of treats right down inside so they got stuck in it. Am sure she'll get through it quickly, she always does, but she's enjoying it, at least!

This is the stuff of legend! @darklyadapted.bsky.social 👀👀👀

It's Otter Hat weather out there lads! Stay warm and cosy 🥶🩵

From Tuesday morning - a big old trailer of muck given a glorious halo by the combination of bright winter sunshine and the huge clouds of steam it was generating 😁😁😁 #my400

My absolute favourite of the "daft ways you have hurt yourself" stories. It's a short thread and is absolutely worth a minute of your time! 😁

Was trying to hang up washing and watch TV at the same time Thought the French window was open. It wasn't. Smacked into it face first and my glasses cut into the bridge of my nose The kids at school on the Monday morning were all offering to beat up whoever punched me, which was quite sweet 🤣

@acspring.bsky.social 🥰🥰🥰

Luna has been here, and today we have practiced Sit, Wait and Heel (coming along nicely). We also discovered that peanut butter in a Kong is delicious, pizza in the oven smells nice, trying to steal bread off the counter top is not allowed and that, often, bits of cheese fall on the floor #DogSky

The second track by my Irish audiovisual project Áit Rúin has been released on a massive #compilation of #darkambient #industrialmusic and other dark, atmospheric styles ... Haunted landscape music inspired by the mountains of #Kerry #Ireland #electronicmusic

#supermoon My phone camera is terrible but actually this is quite a cool pic 🌝

Another winter evening, another power cut... But Young'un and I just nipped out and photographed the Wolf Moon 🌝 #supermoon

A golden winter evening sky on my way home from dropping Young'un's boyfriend off. Taken around 3pm, it was about 3 degrees C then and it's getting cooler Glad to be back indoors!

My favourite completed projects of 2025 (list in alt text) It's been a year of variety! #crochet 🧶 and a little bit of #knitting

Happy New Year, BlueSky folks 🎉🎆🎇🎉

I went with cold tea Better than hopping across the bathroom sopping wet 😁

Just plopped into a deep soapy bath prior to the major endeavour which is washing my hair, and realised I left my brew on the windowsill out of reach. Do I have cold tea, or do I get out of the bath to collect it... 🤔 Buggeration 😁

The customary new year release of historical Scottish records is imminent at tinyurl.com/ScotsP If your family history group wants to learn more about these amazing records, contact me for details of the talks I give about them, listed at tinyurl.com/2s4jch96 #GenHour #Scotland #FamilyHistory

Sometimes you have to accept that a project is never going to work. I've been trying to make this top fit/feel cohesive for the best part of a year but the pattern isn't great; I've tried winging it but can't get the proportions to work Time to rescue my yarn and swatch for a new idea #crochet 🧶

This is quite the read! 😳😳😳

We need your help to become a CiC (community interest company) We’d love to provide mindful & educational programmes & raise money for sanctuary land Do you know anyone who could support us in fundraising for the start-up costs? gofund.me/327a6dea0 Thank you 💚 #rescueanimals #animalsanctuary

I've started to explore what my life might look like beyond teaching; no going back to education! At the moment, Young'un needs some extra support and that's given me some space and time to think about who I am and what might be. No rush, just trusting the journey for now...

Young'un and I have gift-wrapped the front door 😁 Merry Christmas to you all, friends 🎄🎄

We've all lost a big friend in @wombat37.bsky.social. I've written up a thing over on Blipfoto www.blipfoto.com/entry/345006... What a top fella, sail on well my friend.

We desperately want to become a cic (community interest company) —but we need backers to help! We’ve listed our plans on our fundraiser: gofund.me/182f851b6 Can you help us reach our target? (Sharing this post also helps!) Thank you SO much for your support 🐴🐏 #rescueanimals #animalsanctuary

Rather a lovely post about #Dartmoor #winterskies and what to look for on the Widecombe Substack blog widecombe.substack.com/p/heavens-ab... Ignore any prompts to pay, you can view it for free.

The Breakfast Tweed Collection… if you’ve been eyeballing one of the color ways in this collection, I would grab it! We’ve already started selling down on the current inventory. hartfordyarnworks.com #Yarn #Knitting #Crochet #Tweed #indiedyedyarn

Young'un has been asked to make some goodie bags for a Boxing Day party and had a couple of gingerbread men left over. He's almost too cute to eat.... But he's also delicious 🤤🤣

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...
