I started using Twitter to share videos of badgers in my garden and soon found myself talking about food, books, Sheffield, making things, life in general.

I've now managed to order from the Leeds store... and the @johnlewishelp team have been in touch... and said it was a problem with how a specific product was set up on the website...
Hello @JohnLewisRetail... I sent you a DM last night... but haven't heard from you yet... I tried to order an appliance... but was told that I couldn't because I live at a 'restricted address'... I can't imagine why suburban Sheffield would be restricted... please respond...

I'm struggling to get into my @bluesky account this morning... the app has logged me out... and I get an upstream timeout message when I try to log in... I tried re-installing the app and it made no difference...

Well it's been a week now... and I haven't felt the need to pop back here to scroll at all... There are a lot more people on bluesky now...and it's a much more relaxing place to be... so I guess that this is goodbye... and I look forward to seeing you all when you join bluesky...

I think I'm probably not coming back... I miss those of you who aren't on π¦βοΈ... but I'm feeling so much calmer... the chronological timeline... the lack of adverts... are all great... and I have had more interaction with people in 3 days there than in a month here...

I'm probably not going to be around much for the next week... after finding out that you can link with friends on mastodon from bluesky... I've decided to take twitter off the homescreen of my phone for a week... and see how I get on using bluesky instead...

It hasn't quite been the sunny day we were hoping for today... so we're having a cosy tea of sausages and mash...π½

Then we stopped for a drink and a piece of cake... sitting at a table beside a budleja bush... where we spotted a strange yellow bee... which we have now identified as a hornet mimic hoverfly... βοΈπ°π https://t.co/v6Xa4B1ek8

With black-and-yellow markings, the hornet mimic hoverfly looks like its namesake, but is harmless to us. This mimicry helps to protect it from predators while it searches for nectar.

I've just been for a lovely walk with Mr Intgarden... a nuthatch was calling to us in the woods... and I accidentally set another nuthatch calling to us by playing the sound on my phone to see what it was...πΆπ¦π³

This sounds like it will be really useful... you can connect with mastodon people on bluesky... I might be able to reconnect with more people than I thought...
@Helenintgarden @Pott_Shrigley_ @OldSheffield @HelpSheffield @SheffieldRising For you to be able to see their Mastodon account in BlueSky _they_ will need to follow "@bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy" (on Mastodon). For them to be able to see your BlueSky account on Mastodon, _you_ will need to follow "@ap.brid.gy" (on BlueSky). This automatically sets up...

I'm thinking of spending a week on bluesky... and see how it goes... but I'm not sure I'll last long... because I'll miss people like @Pott_Shrigley_ @OldSheffield @HelpSheffield @SheffieldRising... there's not much Sheffield in my timeline there...

I don't know why this picture surprises me so much... I grew up in a village with a garage a bit like this... but it never occurred to me that cities ever had tiny local garages...

Itβs purple season. The heather in the Peak District is stunning at this time of year. This is near Derwent Edge within the Sheffield boundary.
