🚨#politics isn't working! It's time to call time on the broken culture in #westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system! Add your name to @electoralreform's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes!👇😉 #stopfptp #proportionalrepresentation #democracy […]

At the meeting of the Totterdown residents association. Have a great presentation on moths from local entomologist Ray Barnet. Fascinating to learn about species change over the past 20 years due to climate change. #bristol #mothstodon

Are you kidding me with this beauty!? 💙🤍❄️😍

Nine thrifted shirts and a technique I made up myself (but probably isn’t original) and I’m almost finished with this piece I’m calling “Storm at Oxford.” It’s machine pieced and big stitch hand quilted with variegated #8 perle cotton and measures 42”x48” […] [Original post on toot.community]

The decision is in! The Office of Rail & Road (ORR) has approved Virgin Trains’ application to access Temple Mills depot, paving the way for competition between London and Paris, Brussels & Amsterdam from 2030. www.railwaypro.com/wp/orr-appro...

I feel that the Lego Indiana Jones games don't get enough recognition. Although I think the melting faces could have been done better, its always nice to see Nazis being melted by supernatural powers.

Good turnout for the local wassail at our community orchard, despite the rain. #wassail

Proton has now released their version of online spreadsheet. Another feature that lets me escape from Google (I had moved docs but had a few spreadsheets online). Will test out and see how it performs.

Today my son and a friend found an injured pigeon which looked like it had survived a cat attack. Friend's mum had called vets and one said they could help but would need the pigeon brought to them. Friend's mum does not have a car so I spent my evening driving an injured pigeon to a vet. I […]

Had a good day tree planting. We had about 25 people and we planted about 460 whips including Goat willow, spindle, Buckthorn, and some field maple. Weather was clear, but ground was very muddy. #bristol #avonneedstrees

About to start a morning of tree planting at Hunstrete, just outside Bristol. Lovely bright day for it. Ground is quite wet though... Could get very muddy. #bristol #trees

the giraffes are pretty today #photography

Love this post from @pluralistic highlighting how politics in the UK appears to be moving to Greens vs Reform as the previous major parties are dying. I like how it frames the opportunity such as when Labour replaced can he Liberals […]

Going on the electric buses in Bristol still feels like being in the future... I'm not sure why, I think its the silent movement and the LED lights in the bus. Its not quite bladerunner - not that dark. maybe more like the Jetsons. #bristol #buses #electricvehicles

Still enjoying Traitors. All very entertaining drama. I thought Harriet was formidable... But like many of them - is quite annoying. Maybe its barristers just being overbearing.... #traitorsuk

I'm on a WhatsApp group for the Green party in Bristol. There has been lots of chatter about the flags still being hung from lampposts by a couple of muppets. I hear the council may be taking a vote on removing flags. #bristol #greenpartyuk #flagshaggers

Upgrade to Linux mint 22.3 completed flawlessly. Very smooth, no issues found. Not sure about the look of the start menu - it'll probably grow on me. #linux #linuxmint

Hey @dorkbotbristol , I missed today's session. When is the next one. Is it monthly?

Traitors is getting spicy. Really enjoyed that (think it was episode 6). #traitorsuk #traitors

Ahh, yes - the crossover we needed. Vodka pasta sauce.

I stumbled onto a youtube video of a voice coach analyzing famous songs. I thought it would be reductive and cold, but I found it really enjoyable and helped me hear track with new ears. This review of "Everybody hurts made me appreciate it so much more. The host is also very warm and human […]

Did i buy Kvarg, simply because of the name and that it sounds like Klingon food - yes! Did I enjoy it - also yes. I eat Kvarg now... Kvarg is cool!

I never really knew much about the Linux Mint team... but this is very good to see! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrxpvWC_iMk #linuxmint #transparentlibre #independent #uncompromised

Good morning

As part of the Christmas family tour, we have stopped on Lancaster for a night. Went to the castle and the police museum. More interesting than I expected and my son liked seeing the prison cells, each with different aspects of policing.

Just finished watching the finale of Stranger Things. I enjoyed it and it neatly wrapped up the story with just a little room for a spin off / sequel (the object in the case). It was better than the previous season. Worth watching. #strangerthings #strangerthings5

My son (13) has signed up for the 100 press-ups a day charity thing throughout January. Inevitably, I get dragged along and have to motivate him (and its only day 1). So I will also end up doing 100 press-ups a day - I expect to have pecs of steel in a month.

Back in Jan 25 I set out some goala for the year. By July I'd mostly forgotten the list existed. Have now remembered and checked progress. Mostly did OK. * Read 4 books - Smashed it, read 8 this year. * do 3 tree planting sessions - Did 2. * do 12 runs over 10k - Did 11. * do 12 litter picking […]

Sad news - Monkey Jesus painter has died. Hopefully someone new will continue her work and maintain the legacy. https://boingboing.net/2025/12/30/monkey-jesus-painter-cecilia-gimenez-dead-at-94.html

About to leave Skipton and head to Durham for New year. So many different stops makes it feel like I've been away for months! No idea how I will get back into work next week!

Visited Hewenden Viaduct (close to Keithley and Skipton). Very pretty spot - would love to cycle the route.

Was lucky to spot an otter in Skipton canal. It had just caught a fish and was snacking on a ledge so I could take a pic. #Skipton #otters

I loved this, but the person who posted it had crappy alt text, so I'm re-posting.

£1....Bishops Stortford, you have crossed a line!

Who knew Rummikub could lead to so much tension and competition...

🥳 Guinea and Kenya eliminated sleeping sickness. 🥳 Niger became the first African country to eliminate river blindness. 🥳 Georgia, Suriname and Timor-Leste were certified malaria-free. 🥳 Brazil eliminated mother-to-child transmission of #HIV. 🔗 bit.ly/49wdcpl

Found this card in a charity shop. It looks uncannily like me and my husband (although we have more middle age spread!). We should demand royalties for using our likeness.

My wife's watching some programme about chefs getting Michelin stars and I wasn't very interested until it turned out when you get awarded one the actual Michelin man turns up

The charity shops in Bishops stortford have some very eclectic finds. #bishopsstortford #ThriftStoreFind #charityshopfind

Now visiting family in Bishops Stortford and taking a day trip to that London... I'm sure it will be a lovely time... Not at all crowded with desperate shoppers. #lastminutepanic
