Good luck to anyone who has to sing at 5am tomorrow for the Easter Vigil! (I know OSP in Edinburgh does... we don't, and because Easter is on the first Sunday of the month this year, we just have a Eucharist).

For anyone fearing feline attack, I regret to inform you that Michael has invented the tank...

Very suitable for Good Friday... You just know JC and Death would be having a nice chat over a cup of tea, cuddling the cat... Discussing that whatever leg of the Trousers of Time in the Multiverse they are in, people are just, unfortunately, people. But all cats are good cats. Even Greebo.

This sort of feels like a Saturday... so in bed, listening to Bach on the radio, and loving on Bramble cat.

Hearing the news about the Artemis mission... wonder how long it will take Felon47 to want to add his name to the Kennedy Space Centre (and destroy it...)

Things that soothe my soul... Bramble cat choosing to snuggle up against my side, under my arm, purring gently while I caress her.

Nice one, CERN physicsworld.com/a/shock-as-c...

Breaking news: we've just signed a once-in-a-lifetime loan agreement to bring rural England's most iconic artwork home for the first time in 1,000 years. Introducing our 2027 major exhibition - Bayewe Tapestry: the Fight to Wool England.

🎉 Great news at the start of April!!!🎉 Thanks to a huge anonymous donation of building materials in the past week, we can finally start reconstruction of the Trimontium Roman Fort at the original Newstead site.  Bonam fortunam incepto Kitkaticus

Happy with that! 9/10, only one I got wrong was Captain Sensible.

I know Jacob Tierney has said his casting plan for new characters in HR2 is going to be the same as for HR1: lots of superbly talented, but not well known, Canadian actors, without stunt casting, but... hear me out... Nathan Fillion as Commissioner Roger Crowell.

Thoughts on waking up... Why do we insist on applying labels to people? Whether they be Myers-Briggs (yes that's based on very dodgy theories, but so many companies spend money on it), precisely where somebody might fall in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, etc. Is it all related to privilege?

Anyone else (in the UK) feeling totally discombobulated what time it is? Didn't have a nap this afternoon, after 3 hour afternoon sleeps the last couple of days (have a cold).

Emergency Research - Norwegian - I need a Norwegian title for an imaginary painting in the style of Odd Nerdrum - called something like - 'The Longing' encapsulated loneliness and despair.

@princesssofvp.bsky.social Happy Birthday oh wondrous one xx

Joy... working on my own in the office, so playing my music... first Alexander's Feast, and now the Mendelssohn "Lobgesang". Having to try not to sing along (the building houses multiple companies).

Good morning from under Bramble #ProofOfCat

Happy with this :-) Connections #1017 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Some very lucky guesses here... Connections #1016 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 And 8/10.

Please repost & help me find a home (UK) for Johnny. Needed through absolutely no fault of his own - details in alt text. Scottish Borders but will travel. Many thanks.

Actually making a point of *not* being productive on my afternoon off! (Sundays are quite busy and brain-switched-on, with lots of music to sing). Have discovered movie box sets on NowTV... The Mummy will do nicely.

Yikes... Latest Costco email is showcasing its 2022 fine wines, claret edition. Most expensive option is some Chateau Margaux, at over £500/bottle. Costco price...

Sharing the joy!

Happy Spring!

@goingmedieval.bsky.social enjoying your After Dark episodes, is that fab off-the-shoulder top/dress from that London designer that you mentioned a while ago? (And can you remind me of the name of the brand?) The ultra-comfortable ultra-supportive squooshy in one with 10% lycra?

My car passed it's first MOT :-) Related... the driver's seat had been adjusted so much I hit my head on the door getting in! (Yay for height-adjustable seats, boo for engineers/mechanics moving them lots, then not returning them to where you'd got them Just Right!

Why oh why did I think it was a good idea to book an 8am appointment for my car's first MOT?!?

Not impressed... took me about four tries to submit my meter readings to Scottish Power. No I am *not* going to be bullied into getting a so-called "smart" meter.

Weird dream, someone was trying to keep a T. Rex in their house as a pet!

Does anyone else, when a new novel is added to a series, do a re-read of the rest of the series? (In this case, for me, the Veronica Speedwell books by @deannaraybourn.bsky.social ).

Very pleased that in last night's church pub quiz, I got a couple of right answers for my team by a process of logic and deduction :-) "Polo" and "Bush". We came second by three points, behind the team with the Director of Music AND the Rector in... (And the DoM's brother's eidetic memory).

Three good things... 1. Seeing friends in London that I haven't seen for a while 2. Introducing two of these friends, who haven't previously met, too each other, and them getting on well. 3. Singing Bach.

In. Edinburgh? For a blaze of colour, and food for pollinating insects, why not collect a packet of seeds from St John's Church, Princes St. Edinburgh this Sunday 15th, from 12.00. To guarantee a packet, come to the service at 10.30.

I'd never heard of Florsheim shoe brand before the pictures the other day, of the poor deluded worshippers at the shrine of Felon47... Now I'm re-reading "Postmortem" for the first time in many years, and they're referenced on page 97 as FBI shoes! (First Dr Kay Scarpetta novel by P. Cornwell).

Cat no 2 to the vet for her checkup. They gave me some gabapentin liquid for her anxiety, but I doubt she took enough to make a difference (mixed it with a Lik-e-Lix).

Good morning all!

8/10 :-)

@goingmedieval.bsky.social I find myself in London with a free evening. Can I buy you a real drink? (As opposed to a Patreon one).

How very civilised! Announcement on the train that for people observing Ramadan and about to break their fast, there will be complimentary water and snacks in the cafe bar.

Broom broom!

Cat is standing on my desk, looking out of the window at the bin lorry going past (Blue bin this week, paper and card recycling).

@tetisheri.eurosky.social Just had your newsletter come through, I like the sound of the photography club! Off to That London this weekend, going to the Ramses exhibition at Battersea Power Station (which to me is massively overpriced, but my "thanks for having me" treat for my hostess/friend).
