@davidallan Thank you for posting this view of Lindisfarne Harbour. In a difficult year, this was my personal challenge to get there and it was a great day walking round the island

@Baresark I think “purple” is a key word in beginner’s courses, the first residential course had us singing about purple goats. We did wonder whether we should have smoked something first.

@Brenin42 Back in the day I was being interviewed as part of a friend’s positive vetting process and an early question was “What is he passionate about?”. I’ve never managed to use it in general conversation but have been tempted

@stavvers I live in Wales for a while all HSBC “bilingual notices” in the branch began Lorem Ipsum

@elaine1helen My first teaching job, I was talking to my sixth form economics group about university, only to get a pitying look from one of them who said “Things have probably changed since you were there Miss” so yes about eight weeks can put you totally in your dotage

@revk Adrian, I wanted to thank you for the friendship you showed to @Janet_LegReg both F2F at LINX and online. Following your tales of settling into your home during the last months sustained Andrew’s connection to the wider town and we were delighted to be able to suggest Green Power as a local supplier

@bluesky_sandbox Lovely and perfectly illustrates a story I wrote for our local storytelling session last night about an isolated farmer whose last relative had died and he was therefore convinced the Yule Cat will get him. I did give it a #happyending
