@bennygoodman.bsky.social I bleddy love my chillies , grown from seed from the South Devon Chilli Farm Even if I don’t eat a single one, the colours alone make them worth while planting southdevonchillifarm.co.uk

@amandalehmannmusic.bsky.social Thanks to the intense fires, many poor animals are being driven from the forests. I heard a loud noise on my deck and found a Mummy teaching her 2 cubs how to climb up my vines for safety , and ( whilst there ) have a snack on his grapes!

@gregjenner.bsky.social And, as if by magic…..this appears on my “feed” today …..

@amandalehmannmusic.bsky.social @stevehacketthq.bsky.social Noooooo!! Not the old Summerland railway station! British Columbia may be on fire, we may be evacuated within minutes, but THIS isn’t playing fair, whoever lives upstairs !

PS. I have two new “bestie- beasties” that say “good morning” to me these days ( and “gimme the peanuts and fruit, Mr No-Fur with Two Legs “)

ONE! ( on my lily, last week)

@robotcanary.bsky.social @ivymrx.bsky.social @canaries-captionit.bsky.social @baltimorecanary.bsky.social @sharonmbowles.bsky.social Oh, come on #ncfc , tis a thing of great beauty ! It’s got “away kit” written all over it ! ( ahem….alongside Reggae Boyz!) Let’s be ‘avin ya !

I’d like to nominate this rather cool Jamaican footie top for an #ncfc away kit Rum is optional On the back it says “Reggae boys” Wearing it makes you feel effortlessly cool (even though I’m a medium hobbit with a lingering smell) @baltimorecanary.bsky.social @canaries-captionit.bsky.social

We have found a solution to the lack of air conditioning and laundry services :

@baltimorecanary.bsky.social @colinwmd.bsky.social @sharonmbowles.bsky.social Gotta go with supporting our #ncfc lads, whoever they may play for, but ESPECIALLY Mr Ali Ahmed as he is running out for #Canada today! ( and The Mayor, Mr Kenny McLean, will later take on Brazil , single handedly!)

I’ve had my (signed by Frank & Claire) @williamsracingf1.bsky.social shirt for decades Names now faded & gone 😥 My daughter now lives near my heroine, feminist icon ( & lifelong fanboy crush!): she brought me a signed book by Mrs W when she joined us in Jamaica Best Father’s Day present ever!

@bennygoodman.bsky.social I hope you have now calmed down, after the events of the Premiership. As you are likely lying in a puddle of exhaustion, here's a picture of a train that I took the other day (just to make your heart race, your sweat dribble and your short fat hairy legs go all wobbly)

@amandalehmannmusic.bsky.social I'll stop boring you* with all my train photos, so here's a dog posting! Today we celebrate Queen Victoria's B'day :Its a holiday So I buy the nurses coffee at the drive-in This is hard when your co-pilot ALSO wants to order something milky & creamy..! * & everybody

Ok. I’ve had my coffee. My brain had better be working as I’m teaching students and I’m seeing some lovely patients today. I’ve even cleaned myself up, washed, shaved, got a shirt and tie and possibly even smell “vaguely human” if I’m downwind! I’ll attempt that video upload again:

Apologies: I appear to have sent a similar post twice to you ! A) it was before coffee and before Hospital and Hospice work B) I’m not the brightest with tech ! ( nor many other things !) C) I was trying to send a video of the super-cool “Rocky Mountaineer” train. I’ll try again later Meanwhile:

I am seriously jealous, dear lady! When I next return home, I’m going to visit York, to see that very sight, as to my shame I’ve never been. I went over the Rockies last weekend to attend a wedding near Banff. We found a ( be still my beating heart!) RAILWAY MUSEUM en route!

@bennygoodman.bsky.social I’m a sucker for tribute bands. Just bloody love them! This is #BlackDog , a Led Zep tribute. Lordy, were they on fire last night! Note perfect, exemplary musicians and the lead vocalist sort of “became” Robert Plant in his mannerisms, voice and look.

I’m getting creative at the end of the season ( Poor timing, I know: I’m none too bright, my brain is often runny and I’m slow on the uptake!) My #ncfc themed bird feeder is now ready for use! ( the blue was necessary as I ran out of yellow and green in my daughters paint collection!)

@amandalehmannmusic.bsky.social Vancouver's Uni. (UBC) is stunning Botanical gardens, green spaces, rose gardens..just a JAW DROPPING location & over the weekend I unpacked my little lady's first-year room And then drove back, 5hrs through the mountains, to HER selection of tunes BEST TIME EVAH!

@bennygoodman.bsky.social Well, this appears to cover most of my ancestors, TV Evangelism ….and Orange-Faced Fascists #MangoMussolini

My pleasure! The scenery is stunning, which also helps, and “traffic” is something that happens somewhere else, so if you download a few podcasts it’s an absolute joy to drive in an electric car ( ah…. The silence!!)

@amandalehmannmusic.bsky.social The bees have returned to my Almond bush! Hope the new album is coming along well , and HAPPY SPRING DAYS are ahead ( Oh. I have to keep working, you say. Pooh. I want to dig holes in my garden , play some music and walk dogs forever and a day…!!)

@jakeburnsslf.bsky.social @stifflittlefingers.bsky.social Obligatory St Patrick’s day appreciation picture ( late and slow, like my brain) for the most under appreciated band on the planet. With the way the world is now, we need more of their conscience and humanity fuelled protest songs.

We, too, find Bumble hard to find at times, as “blondes hiding in snow” are cunningly disguised unless they wear fluffy pink hats and purple ski jackets. (not popular this year with dogs, I gather) Glad you have a furry friend to act as critic and to lend an ear and advice when needed!

It’s fun when you’re pretending to be grown up, professional diligently teaching students….but have secretly sneaked in with your lucky #NCFC top on + you keep updating the scores on the office computer! AND A HAT TRICK FOR TOURE ! What a day! ( OK…. OK… I’ll get back to work now!)

Hello Terri! Errrrrmmmm....HOLD MY BEER! Meanwhile in Canada:

Brilliant Photo!! This is the South Devon railway, with the locomotive pulling into Kingswear station. A cold day, but oh…. So much fun on the train!!

I recognize that Norfolk coast! I’ve been so very amiss at not wishing you & yours a VERY happy 2026: I hope for happy times ahead & oodles of success with the new LP! I had the time of my life in the UK, showing my daughter….Well… whatever she wanted to see! & all travel was by train, of course!

As you can see….I’m working so very hard in this back office! ( I love these BBC feeds, although I end up chewing my nails for most of the second half!) #ncfc Can we dare dream?? Can we even hold on?!

I took my daughter to see the show in London, several months ago. Bloody brilliant and some of the effects were truly stunning ( and often baffling to work out “how did they do THAT?!”)
