Like I assume Paul McCartneys Frog Song (we all stand together) is the theme tune for the protests right?

You are now a magician. A wizard. A sorceress. A witch.

What is your familiar?

A pair of magpies. I give them treats,they bring me treasure. Their decendents and mine carry on the tradition. Magpies are vicious as fuck, so every now and then I receive an eyeball from one of my enemies.

What is your familiar?

A raven who was once a magician and who, following an unfortunate spell, finds himself transformed into a black bird, forced to keep me company and recite poetry to me. And he has the voice of a certain Tom S.... 😇🤫

Frickin love candy corn…and you don’t get it here. I shall live your striped goodness from afar.

Had a friend. She bought herself a goodie. Then bought one for me and a few others. Because “you deserve only good things, and this is a GOOD thing” it’s not quite the book group you thought you wanted…but it’s the book group you needed. Looking out for each other one goodie at a time.

If I’m honest it’s more a goodie wish list than an actual list of contents. Sigh deeply.

I can hear the bubbles in the can of irn-bru on my desk, and the metallic hum of the electronics in the kitchen. These sounds are layered over the soft breathing the mini beast sleeping on the couch and the deep sighs of the pup. How can I be tired when there are so many sounds in the night.

That’s cool. Our street is named for the hares that live in the fields surrounding our village. Would be cool to have some hare sculptures round the place.

That looks amazing missus. You really have outdone yourself.

That is an awesome sculpture. What’s it in aid of? Or is it just a “this’ll look cool” kinda thing?

It’s a means of moving canal boats from the water bellow to the canal above, or vice versa. It’s a super impressive example of engineering.

Aye, Duke and Baron are good boys.

Hedda T Bear @wellthumbed.bsky.social · 1d

Aye, you’ll need to visit them and the Falkirk wheel. They’re no far from each other.

In Scotland we have a bloody awesome sculpture of some horsies. Behold the Kelpies! Alas, we have no way of knowing if the boys are “intact” or not.

Noooo. Nope. Nope. Nope. You ask first. Every year on Christmas Eve, me and my best gal go shopping in Glasgow. It is a years long tradition and husband has NEVER invited himself along, nor has she ever brought a partner. Group activities are fine but only when pre arranged with everyone’s consent.

Is Blackpool worth hunting down? It’s not one I remember when it first came out, but it looks fun.

“Agadoo do do push pineapple shake a tree, agadoo do do push pineapple grind coffee…” thank you random playlist. It’s like a flash back to every Haven/Butlins holiday I remember going on. I just need superman and the time warp to start playing and I’ll have a full childhood nostalgia bingo card.

Right. The Bride by Ali Hazelwood (I think) it looks at me every time I’m in Tescos. It looks at me and says “well, there’s nothing else for you here except Bluey books. Go on. Buy me” but I dunno. Is it worth it? Do I give in to the eyes of sketchy lookin wolf?

Sitting in my car crying listening to the epilogue of Terry Pratchett: a life in footnotes.cant go in to pick my beasties up with sad eyes. It was a beautiful tribute to a great man.
