- Happy happy happy days. A week of pure joy. First semi-final tonight.
- It's Eurovision week! ✨ Here's everything you need to know ahead of the Live Shows in Basel ✅ eurovision.tv/story/eurovi...
- Seriously @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social just 5 votes! But what a playlist! #Eurovision www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...
- The joy of the early walk to the station, a beautiful sunrise, one urban fox, the birdsong. The downside, 3 hours later and the train still hasn't made it to Manchester. The upside, powering through the emails. It's all a matter of perspective.
- Two passions in our house F1 and Eurovision. Tonight they collided - what's not to love! #F175

- Duo wins social media today. RIP Owl
- 7 years ago as we allowed youth services to be cut drastically, this was a conversation on Twitter between me and @saintlocks.bsky.social Right now we are feeling the impact of those cuts both for individual young people and as a whole society.

- Oh my!!!!! What a night. Thank you Salop ❤️
- Lorry drivers frequently get a bad rap but I need to say a huge thank you to the absolutely excellent driving of all that I saw on the M6 M62 and M60 in heavy snow this morning. Safe distances, allowing significant extra stopping time. Made me feel safe in a frankly bottom twitching situation! ❤️
- Quick trek up the Wrekin to find the snow! #Shropshire
- Reposted by Karen Higgins🗣️ Gareth Ainsworth chatted to the press after watching his Shrewsbury side secure a Boxing Day win over Lincoln. 📹 Among several topics, the boss discussed the winning goal which came from a brilliant set-piece routine masterminded by Richard Dobson... #Salop 🔷🔶
- I've walked this hill for over 40 years and never seen it look like this. Rising above the clouds over the Shropshire valleys and plains - it was majestic! #Pontesford
- Popping into a church at this time of year and if you are lucky there is choir rehearsing. Did that on the way to a meeting in Bolton today, no idea which school it was practicing but they sounded beautiful.
- Reposted by Karen HigginsThe future map of General Practice for those that can afford it For those who cannot…. they’ll need to complain more about GP access & funding to their MPs @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social #NHS GPs get £115 per year for everything, including 6/7 appts on a average #MedSky #GeneralPractice

- Reposted by Karen HigginsYesterday I got to listen to and meet Dr Anthony Fauci at #IHIForum. His messages about championing science and truth, and about really listening to people, even if they present as adversaries are messages for the world. Thank you @theihi.bsky.social for enabling this.

- I'm completely biased but yes it is..... Shrewsbury is home to Britains best high street. Unbroken independent traders in Victorian and Medieval buildings. originalshrewsbury.co.uk/blog/shrewsb...
- When I posted about a LOT of happy Swedes in Shrewsbury yesterday, this is what I meant. They brought a lot of joy and fantastic spirit into the Town.
- Reposted by Karen HigginsI'm going to do some coverage on here of the assisted dying debate. If you're not interested please mute this thread now. It'll probably go on a while.

- There are a LOT of very happy Swedes in Shrewsbury this evening. And I don't mean winter vegetables.
- I'm thinking that trains now need signs and announcements to request people use headphones /pods when listening to music or taking calls. When did broadcasting our choice of music / viewing become acceptable? #grumpyskeet
- A piece about a very therapeutic pharmacy but probably not the type my primary care colleagues are thinking of. It's a fabulous place in the wonderful, beautiful and quirky Bishops Castle #Shropshire
- Thank you to every MP from all political parties who will debate the #assisteddyingbill tomorrow. It is emotive, difficult and sometimes very personal and close to the heart. Thank you to all of you who have engaged and taken time to learn as much as you can ahead of making a vote.
- Shrewsbury blueskyers are stating their sadness at the destruction of a tomb stone. It was a key feature of 'A Christmas Carol' 1984 filmed on location in the town. Fans especially from the USA visit the locations including Scrooge's grave. A fine version! www.themoviedb.org/movie/13189-...

- So I've just reposted another post by @drhwazir.bsky.social and there is likely a connection between the two. With all the negative media about GPs why would anyone choose it a profession? We are creating a health access crisis of our own making.

- It's just a bit of stone for a fictional character, surely? It's a place where friends and family take part in an annual tradition of visiting the grave of Ebeneezer Scrooge and watching the film. It cost people nothing & there is not much at Christmas that costs nothing.
- Heard Fuse ODG on BBC this more. He explained beautifully why we need to question & be curious. He stated the positive impact the original record had to a specific crisis - but the key take away is that was 40 years ago and we should now think and act with increased knowledge & understanding.
- Who would have bet that me ( @shrewsburytown.com ) and my colleagues ( Bolton Wanderers) would both get 3 points today. Happy days!
- Loving all the surprises at the end of this F1 season. I'd lost interest the last couple of seasons but this year has been much more enjoyable.
- Reposted by Karen HigginsThread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
