A gatepost showing a green and white circular sign with a yellow arrow in the middle pointing forwards. The text on the sign says CPRE OXFORD GREEN BELT WAY and PUBLIC FOOTPATH. Ahead is a path through a wooded area.

A zoomed-in view of a church from a field. The church is in Stanton St John.

Finally completed the Oxford Green Belt Way this morning. Beckley to Thornhill, so back to where we started from.

Yeah, it was great!

Aftercare drummer (very proud!)

Second gig of the week! Couldn’t miss Aftercare at The Library #pub #CowleyRoad

Very much so. Blue Bendy played the kind of music my son and I both like - and they seemed like they were having a blast!

R did; we were perched on the sofas.

Top Shortage and Blue Bendy in Oxford tonight. Great gig! @divineschism.bsky.social

Oh, were you there? I didn’t see you!

Probably there are people in Burnley that are driven mad too.

The setup for a performance, with screen, music stands, violin (and a dinosaur skeleton peering around the screen)

Moth x Human at @morethanadodo.bsky.social last night was great @ocmevents.bsky.social

Saw this today - could be useful?

Ouch! Poor you!

Agreed (so not unhinged, in my view!)

So tired of having to ring companies who use computers/AI to give you options,
none of which are appropriate to the situation.

A blue, floor-length curtain (or maybe just a curtain with blue light on it). There’s a microphone in front of it to the left and a projection on the curtain which says: MARK WATSON BEFORE IT OVERTAKES US. The writing has a rippled effect because of the folds of the curtain.

@swansonian.bsky.social I got my son to take this last night (he was in a better position than me)

I did not know triangle scarves were having a moment. I fear I’m not clued up, fashion-wise.

I am sorry.

Me too!

A white plastic box on a grey kitchen top, filled with homemade houmous (which is topped with a few chick peas and smoked paprika)

Some foods are definitely too much of a faff to make at home, but houmous (hummus?) is not one of them

Imagine a world full of all-in-one options. One type of lightbulb! A single charger for all the gadgets! One battery size! One remote control! One type of Tupperware! Universal buttons! One insurance policy for life, death and everything in between! One pan lid for all the pans! Wouldn't that be great?

She’s not wrong. Meera Sodha, in yesterday’s Guardian.

Eek!
