I’m old enough to remember when Twitter was only 3 characters per tweet. Tell that to the kids today and they’ll laugh in your face. Here now though.

They really are great reads, aren’t they? I’ve had them as hard copies and audiobooks. The tv series on Prime is hood too.

Hope things improve for you soon btw.

Thank you, yes, I’m very well and hope things are going well with you and yours too. I have lost track of so many people since the splits between X, Blue Sky, Threads, Mastodon even.

Glad she’s going strong and you have your Saturday afternoons back!

Regards to the snek too.

@loudbasket.bsky.social Dear Ms. Basket, I don’t come here very often because I’m wedded to Twitter and we old folks are resistant to change.

I’d hate for you to think I only love you for the MIL phone calls or anything, I mean perish that thought before you even think it, but, well are they over?

She’d Dance
 
She’d dance like no one was watching
although she liked to think he was.
The kitchen was her grand ballroom;
her partner was a mop.
 
She’d foxtrot among the pots and pans,
she’d paso doble to the sink,
and as she swept across the floor,
her mind danced, too. She’d think
 
of how he’d held her in his arms
at the Locarno and the Ritz -
whirling, waltzing, a world apart -
in the years before the kids,
 
and longer still before the shadow
the doctor spotted on his lungs.
How dazzlingly they had danced!
How dizzyingly she had spun!
 
Her neighbours saw her sometimes,
shuffling bent-backed to the shops.
But at home, she’d dance like no one was watching
although she liked to think he was.

I’d like people to stop describing anything and everything as “iconic” please.

It’s getting too much.

Thank you. That’s better.

I’m so glad we had this chat. Air cleared and all that.

In the past when people I think of as “Twitter friends” disappear, I find it difficult to know what’s for the best. Do they want to be left alone? Do they need the break? For that reason I tended to stay clear.

Since there’s been a mass defection though I’ve tried to find them and reconnect.

We’ve been out for a nice walk. I saw a swan.

Fortunately I managed to yell at it “GET AWAY FROM MY ARM. DO NOT BREAK MY ARM.”

It didn’t break my arm so maybe others might like to adopt my technique. I’m happy to help.
