Good morning Blueskies! Clear and crisp in the vale today, actually had some sunshine on our way back from our morning amble. Faff incoming, but not much of it. May spend much of the day watching sunshine through the office window… let’s Tuesday!

Nos da Blueskies! Sleep meretriciously. #Bobies

Just wonderful. #SmallProphets

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day? Not really. Quiet. A gentle evening amble starting in light and ending in darkness but avoiding rain.

Good morning Blueskies! Damp in the Vale today. The little waterfall was back again; faff already raining down on us as well; let’s Monday!

Good evening Blueskies! That was the weekend was it? Always leave them wanting more. Our afternoon amble was drier than we feared, albeit rather muddy. Not that we mind. We walk on.

Good morning Fediversistas! Grey and grizzly in the vale this morning; patches of snow still on the ground from last night’s flurries, but dry now, milder and hopefully set fair for more ambling later; let’s see how it goes, eh? Let’s Sunday!

Good evening Blueskies! Been to bandit country. One of us got a scarf.

Good morning Blueskies! Beautiful clear day in the vale today, a frosty start but sunshine and blue skies; gorgeous. Not our usual amble today, off to bandit country for pizza to celebrate YD’s birthday from a couple of days ago. Let’s Saturday!

It is Friday! And #FridayNightIsMusicNight so let’s put a song on the YouTubes and see where the algorithm takes us. We’ll start with Opalite by an up and coming youngster called Taylor Swift, featuring everyone who was on the Graham Norton show with her once, which is a wonderful thing. Song? Meh.

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day? Busier than we would have liked. No matter, no mind. Our evening amble started in daylight and took in an actual sunset. Which was nice.

Good morning Blueskies! Cold and damp and gloomy in the Vale today; not quite snowing, not quite sleet, but thick rain; faff upon us, so we push on. Let’s Friday!

Lads night in update. Really liked #TrainDreams, very gentle, melancholy and yet life affirming; now on #TheBeauty; only yer man Murph could set up a second rate rip off of The Substance and make it so bloody dull. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Won’t bore you. Pleased to report m’col was feeling well enough for a short amble this evening, in the cold and rain. Now enjoying lads night in as TCMoH is over with YD for her birthday (YD’s). Watching Train Dreams. Meditative.

Wordle 1,699 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 “Impressive” #Wordle Well yes.

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and very damp underfoot in the vale today; pleased to report the return of the tiny waterfall and of m’col, back on ambling duties and in fine fettle once more. Let’s Thursday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. M’col still feeling the after effects of his procedure yesterday, so a very damp solo amble this evening. And no amble pic. We’ve done our puzzles, too.

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and grim in the Vale today; one of us made it for the full amble including the tribute to the Somme round the bottleneck; others made it to the field and then got back on the couch. We do what we can. Faff incoming! Let’s Wednesday!

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day, in more ways than necessary. M’col had a scan thing today and it was good news! No evidence of anything untoward being where it shouldn’t. He was sedated and is still out of sorts, so no amble for him this evening, and so no amble pic. There may be a snoozy one.

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and grim in the Vale today. Faff incoming, including a trip to the vets for investigations. Fingers crossed. Let’s Tuesday!

Talking of gentle comedy, #SmallProphets was delightful. Warm, melancholic, funny, moving, clever and a little eldritch. Just what we hoped for.

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Don’t even. Good evening amble. River. Rushing because there is gentle comedy to be had on the telly.

Wordle 1,696 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 “Great” #Wordle Humph. One of them ones, obvs.

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and milder in the Vale today; high degree of faff today, even by Monday standards, with one meeting already done; no matter, we go at it; let’s Monday!

David Graeber explained why jobs that often do quite a lot of damage to society, those jobs tend to be very highly paid.

Gave m’col a bath/shower in the garden this afternoon. Very unhappy about it. Disgruntled, even. Also m’col:

Good evening Blueskies! Well, that was the weekend. It was all right, as these things go. We ambled. There was a little bit of rain, a bit more sun, and mild enough to lose the mid layer. Also, the cricket was quite exciting. Like we said, all right.

Ran into one of the neighbours on our morning amble: if this lad comes into the garden m’col goes mad it him, barking; out on the Hags, not a peep

Good morning Blueskies! Almost bright and mild in the vale today, very soggy underfoot but an improvement on yesterday’s rain. Not much planned for today, but ambling may be involved.

Nos da Blueskies! Sleep justifiably #Bobies

Well weren’t @sleafordmods.bsky.social absolutely fucking brilliant tonight? Didn’t do The Mekon, but did pretty much everything else and #Heartworms were great support. And managed to walk to Vic Tap for last orders before the tram home. Perfect evening, really.

Good evening Blueskies! On a tram, off for the first gig of the year. More on that later. Rather soggy amble this afternoon, but not too cold.

Wordle 1,694 4/6 🟨⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 “Splendid” #Wordle Sneaky, I’d say.

Good morning Blueskies! Mild and (currently) dry (overhead at least) in the Vale today; set fair for an afternoon amble and the first gig of the year tonight. Exciting times! Let’s Saturday!

It is Friday! And #FridayNightIsMusicNight! Let’s start with Men-an-tol by The Levellers eh? Bit of an earworm this week; the algorithm brings us Th’Editors doing A Ton of Love next, still my favourite album of theirs. Repeat next, so Mogwai doing Lion Rumpus next: dogs: meaningful connection & love

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day, busy week, etc etc etc. No mind, no matter. It is the weekend! A damp evening amble to start it off, we had a wander through the cemetery listening to the story of Jeanne D’Arc. Fascinating. Then a drive to the coast to bring YD back home.

Wordle 1,693 3/6 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 “Impressive” #Wordle So close! So, so close…

Good morning Blueskies! Grey and grim in the Vale today, rainy, windy and generally unpleasant weather wise; the company was good on our morning amble and we have put off the faff until now; let’s Friday!

Nos da! Sleep incorrigibly. #Bobies

Very much enjoying @profaliceroberts.bsky.social Grail programme on The Nowtelly, lots of folklore, ballads, wild suppositions but always brought back to actual history/archaeology. Machine tooled to our tastes. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Good evening Blueskies! Busy day. Stupid busy. Meh, we crack on regardless. Our evening amble was delayed slightly by faff, but there was still some light left but it was pretty nippy. As usual, we took in the river.

Good morning Blueskies! Bit blowy in the Vale today; gale in our faces walking out, at our backs on the way home, which kept blowing m’col’s puffa jacket up his back; but at least we missed the rain; faff raining down upon us now, along with the actual; let’s Thursday!
