You'll kill it! Break legs.

The world needs more baritones.

Reason I mention 'Hamburg' is it's seedless & said to be good for supporting other varieties. We got ours at O'Meara's.

Huh. This is interesting because it goes some way to explaining why some of his stuff really works and some of his stuff really doesn't, for me personally.

Script Anatomy @scriptanatomy.bsky.social · 2d

Taika Waititi tells young writers to begin with the first and last images, an opening spark and a final echo.

Collect cool scenes you can’t stop thinking about, like postcards from a dream. When you’ve got enough, glue them together with simple connections.

I needed that!

You can do it. The nerves are only there to tell you it's important to you & get you to pay attention. They're not allowed to rule you. Tell 'em off if needs be (I do with mine 😉).

Nice going! We have a 'Hamburg' variety one against a south facing wall, that will give us a respectable bucket's worth once every couple of years. Yours look lovely!

We are not a monarchy. We are a constitutional democracy.

Let the world hear loud and clear today: America will never have a king.

Pretty good stuff actually - anyone who reckons they could kill off & replace deity, but still has the insight to question themselves must have something going for them, right?

It seems that sleeping or waking, Mammy will be minded.

Pic 1 - Kleo, a 16yr old cap-and-mantle-tabby, has cuddled herself down into a dip in the top of the settee. She is fast asleep, but has one paw outstretched to touch her mammy's elbow.
Pic 2 - Kleo is in the same spot, but awake. Her front paws are tucked under & reaching out to pet & be petted.

DGLaity @dglaity.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. Congratulations! 🎉

Little healer.

Kleo just (loudly & proudly) with great ceremony, presented me with a lovely, still alive but stunned bat.
- Great job Tof on intercept & controlled re-release of it!

She's also not on her regular perch, but has changed sides studiously, to show me she's avoiding the sore shoulder.

Excellent piece on a theme of where science meets culture.

I was very impressed with them over that. They were chairing for the first time (I did feel bad putting them through that, but baptism of fire can be a good thing). They were very supportive & efficient.

Yay for Friday - equal parts 'Oh bum!' because that means I missed yet another #GenealogyHour last night.

I swear, it's like snow blindness!

Maybe I need to start my 'official' weekend with Genealogy hour...

DGLaity @dglaity.bsky.social · 2d

Oh that is beautiful! Well done.

2/... it's a firing offense I really don't care.

Supervisor said: "You know what - that's absolutely fair."

Haven't been fired as yet, so that's a bonus!

Maddening isn't it.

I had one job a week or so ago where I was asked to assess an item that was 'made' by ai (and *proudly* submitted to us as such) - so I brought it as my lowlight of the week to our project meeting, admitted I refuse to engage with it (& labelled it as such) & that if ...1/2

The Norwegians apparently have this thing of, you know the way we would say 'fine' typically as answer to 'how are you?' as a matter of course? - their response is supposedly:
'I'm vertical & not crying', which I absolutely love!

One of the cartoons from my new book 'Physics for Cats'. In good bookshops now and online in English, French, German and Spanish. It's also available as a print at www.tomgauld.com/

A view of the International Space Station floating in the stars above the earth. A cat in a space suit floats outside. An astronaut within the station looks out of a window and says "In? But I just let you out."

Text underneath reads:
