I knit, I bake, I read, I run. (contexo, coquo, lego, curro)
English in Canada and Lefty in the tweedy Bennite sense.
Deliberately dull. Deliberately kind. Deliberately anti fascist.
Radio fan and Archers addict, maker of pretty decent curries.
- Yet again sadly reminded that America is now nothing, but a gun.
- We have a snowfall warning here in Nova Scotia until Tuesday - so I'm planning on being Kermie for a few days
- This weekend we will be freezing our tits off in Canada
- Reposted by Adrian de Montfort 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈🧶🏃🏼♂️➡️In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
- The UK and Canada fought from the beginning of the war. The Soviet Union after 1941, paying a huge human cost. The US in Dec 1941. Reducing that history to a single nation’s rescue fantasy doesn’t honour the past. It rewrites it.
- A power line came down outside our house this evening
- I don't care much for Brian, but this Chief Inspector seemed to take some cruel and perverse pleasure in taunting him about Sioban and Jenny and then using Alice as blackmail. Then her treatment of Lillian, the insults and insinuations about her life #TheArchers got weird today.
- Well the plot is almost as thick as Eddie Grundy Who will be hospitalising George in #TheArchers tomorrow? Will it be Brad now Amber has declared for him? Jazzer delivering a Glasgow kiss? Amber with a frying pan defending Brad when George finds them out? Or boringly, will George send Brad to A&E
- I was waiting to finish watching #HeatedRivalry before starting Rachel Reids book series, 105 pages in and by gum that woman can write extremely good gay filth.
- Why are you gay?
- I think I may have it. Ed is going to have another genuine accident that puts him in hospital and Emma is torn between her unhealthy narcissistic love of George and her love for her husband, decide it's Georges fault and calls the police to send her precious back to jail. #TheArchers
- The Gavlebokken didn't burn, or be devoured by jacksdaws this year, it fell over in the wind
- I am convinced that come New Years George Grundy is going to get the beating of his life and be rushed to hospital in a coma. After winding up his previous victims, one will be arrested it'll drag out to trial until George recovers and reveal it was Markie who duffed him up. #TheArchers
- Finally completed my second oldest WIP, I stitched this about 17 years ago and it sat in a tote with my oldest WIP until this last week. It took 20 minutes to assemble. It's a needlepoint doorstop. It has a brick inside....
- I went out with our son to buy a tree today, I fully intended to buy one smaller than previous years, we always have a big one because our living room ceiling is 20' at it's highest. Despite honestly good intentions I ended up buying the tallest one we have ever had. Measured at 8'4" Buggeration
- Reposted by Adrian de Montfort 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈🧶🏃🏼♂️➡️Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago. Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.
- Happy December 6th ya filthy animals
- Day 2 Neither crows nor fire in sight
- Day One. The Gavle goat is up! Fire watch begins
- Photo of a crash in town last night - first responders arrived to find the vehicle empty and later arrested the driver. There is something about the composition and balance of warm and cold light contrasts that speaks to me in a way I can't quite put my finger on.
- The sky was smiling down on us on this afternoons dog walk
- I don't drink alcohol anymore, but there is something very appealing about this, I have a flask knocking around the house and I may need to reproduce this sleeve.
- Michael Stücke a gay man, rescues “gay rams,” male sexually-oriented sheep, that his company Rainbow Wool claims are often slaughtered because they don’t procreate. Scientists estimate that as many as 8% of rams are sexually oriented toward other males.
- My Varg cardigan, (nearly) finished last night - just needs buttons. Washed and blocking.. No seaming, every part consists of picked up stitches from the two shoulder panels #Knitting #Menwhoknit #knittersofbluesky
- My Varg cardigan, (nearly) fished last night - just needs buttons. Washed and blocking No seaming, every part consists of picked up stitches from the two shoulder panels #Knitting #Menwhoknit #knittersofbluesky
- An interesting piece about childrens author Rosemary Sutcliff, the reason I was the weird kid growing up She was the author of the Roman/Arthurian The eagle of the ninth and The sword at sunset, but also her retelling of the Cuchulain saga - The hound of Ulster, all books that fired my imagination
- I can hear my eldest son chatting online and laughing A LOT! It's nice to hear him happy, but his laugh is the bastard offspring of Roland Rat and Blakey from On the Buses.
- Reposted by Adrian de Montfort 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈🧶🏃🏼♂️➡️What a wonderful hike around the Reservoir Trail in Victoria Park this morning! Thank you to Truro Pride Society and @hikenovascotia.bsky.social for partnering on this event. We had a lovely coffee break following our active morning hike and two lucky hikers won a Hike NS membership!
- After losing his Dukedom, Prince Andrew has decided to focus on his career.
- I don't know enough about George, but I do know he is young and young offenders need compassion to help change, & while I believe that people have the right to redeem themselves after serving their time, Jolenes answer should have been a flat no to George, for her daughters sake alone. #TheArchers
- I never cared much for Coronation Street, but it had its moments and I think Violet Carson (Ena Sharples) was a national treasure.
- Gen Z are making tiktoc videos "unboxing" conkers So I thought I would record my haul for today Now sleeping in a ziplock in the veg box in the fridge to stratify over the winter ready to plant in the spring Hose Chestnut seeds, Aesculus hippocastanum if you're fancy, #Conkers if you're British
- Looks like an ordinary detached houses in Solihull are going for well over a million, so a good sale and with his inheritance could buy Akram well a farm in Ambridge. Especially if mulligans daughter meets and is charmed by him and his care for the beasts and wants a quick job lot sale #theArchers
- It's been a while since I posted anything about #knitting, but last night I finished the second sleeve and here it is ready to sew in the ends, block and assemble Pattern is Fell By Martin Storey I didn't care for the fish motif so replaced that with the other motifs www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
- Reposted by Adrian de Montfort 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈🧶🏃🏼♂️➡️Less than a week to go. We sent out an email to all the registered hikers today. We will have some @hikenovascotia.bsky.social memberships to give away and Truro Pride are hosting us after the hike with a free drink at a local coffee shop.
- Happy Anita Bryant pie day On this day, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was pied in the face by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. Bryant had declared about homosexuality “I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.” Never show tolerance to the intolerant
