Raisinmeister

It’s Christmas and we’re thrilled to be part of Songs from the Season - a festive evening of music at Chester Town Hall. ✨🎄🎶

Join us, along with Rock Choir, Proud Marys, and Theatre in the Quarter young choir, for a night packed with harmony, sparkle and mince pies. 🥧

Next month we round off an excellent year of talks with our very own @pittso.bsky.social who will be talking about the science of storytelling & exploring (maybe ruining?) some of our favourite Christmas films!
📆9th Dec, 7pm
📍@storyhouselive.bsky.social

Join us tomorrow for what's sure to be a fascinating talk about plans to revive the hydro hub in @shitchester.bsky.social & bring clean heat to the city.
It's completely free & no need to book, so come along! It's also one of many great events forming @storyhouselive.bsky.social Futures Festival

When you get your jobs in town done sooner than expected, but don't really have enough time to go home before coming back out again....
Thank you for your service @paysan.bsky.social

Who's up for some Raisin logic?
Doesn't swim all summer.
First day of the season that water temp at Manley drops below 10 degrees
Yup, today's the day for me to get back to it.
(Excellent hot chocolate afterwards though)

Kid has just come over to talk to him. Turns out he's his teacher and is now trying to have a sensible conversation with the kid's parents about his behaviour in school and is meeting all the younger siblings! 😂
If he hasn't before, he's definitely regretting his career choice right now....

Queuing up for a coffee while waiting for delayed flight. Bloke behind me muttering about how long it takes, monkeys & typewriters etc. He's a bit of a shambles, flies undone, stains down his t-shirt etc. He finally settles down with his 3 cans of export & bacon sarnie.
1/2

That might be the only option

Me: Big work week ahead, I'll make the most of some quiet time this afternoon to get a few things sorted
The computer Gods: Sure thing, but first....

Love the curlews!

Finally my animal starter words really paid off!

Great minds!
Although your 70s music knowledge is clearly superior, whereas I, apparently, am more familiar with toilet construction 😂

Terrifying

These aren't daily stats are they?

In less ranty news though.....
#TheWomanInBlack at @storyhouselive.bsky.social was absolutely superb. An incredible, and terrifying, production.

We all know there's a special place in hell reserved for people who eat crunchy food in a theatre, but can we also add people that open cans at quiet suspense-filled moments, and people whose smart watches lights up like a ¿£#&ing beacon in a darkened theatre?

Are vampires just misunderstood medical patients with a sensitivity to sunlight?
Is a werewolf just a grumpy bloke having a bad hair day?
Join us next month to explore the legends, lore and likely explanations behind some of our favourite spooky creatures

Not sure if this is skill or luck (or lack of)

Whoever came up with yesterday's #Connections quiz in #NYT is a psychopath.
Who on earth would figure out that purple category?

Join myself and @jessiliu.bsky.social tonight in Chester to hear more about @facelabljmu.bsky.social’s research!

If that's true, then I think I need a new pair of glasses with clear frames

So sorry, I missed this response.
Glad it's healing well, you'll be playing handball before you know it!

@riojabob.bsky.social well these are lovely.
Thank you so much 💐

What do you know?
You're no sheep whisperer

I went solo for this one (powered by your figs! 😂) and left the boys exploring caves
We're all going to go for Pen Y Ghent today....
