In Rabat, and around Morocco for a week. Rather pleasant having some warm sun, after so much rain and cloud. 🇲🇦☀️

Very sorry for your loss Moose. Heartbreaking.

It’s your regular timeline cleanser.

We venerate the late Queen but if you’ve read Entitled you’ll be disgusted at what she chose to ignore and indeed subsidised.

‘Like an electrical gong bath!’ The Sheffield supermarket going viral for the symphonic sound of its freezers Redditors are thrilled by the Co-op on Ecclesall Road, where a magnificent drone is reminiscent of Brian Eno’s ambient music. We take a visit to the back aisles

If I lived in Sheffield, I’d go and hang out by these freezers. There are probably worse ways to spend your day …

Thanks 🙏🏻

Can any of the railway people I follow on here give me up to date information about left-luggage options at Innsbruck Hbf please? Seems to be conflicting info online - not helped by AI sticking its nose in

@rupertairbear.bsky.social I think you have to be following me to allow me to send a DM. You can unfollow once we’ve concluded the chat.

Oxfordshire Against Racism & Inequality Help Robert Knight raise money to support Stand Against Racism & Inequality

I created a charity fundraiser to support Stand Against Racism & Inequality (SARI), so that my local area can show that it stands above the small number of people who wish to divide us.

Ahh good point. Can I quickly DM you please Robert?

Can you travel cross border into Norway from there?

It was very good bite-size story telling. A short story for the social media age.

Have you ever been? 🤔

Well the phone box thread has definitely got Wednesday off to a cracking start 😊👏🏻
