Don't be swayed by #Cuprite's pretty looks; #Halite can be just as beautiful and is essential to life. Besides, imagine chips, crisps, or indeed any meal without salt. You've got just under 3 and a half hours to vote: don't delay! #MinCup26

So pleased to hear this confirmed in the PM’s speech. Big congrats to @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and all who’ve campaigned for it! At last we have a chance to restore trust in our politics with a system where “everyone’s views count and everyone’s vote matters” 👏👏👏

Just imagine the amount of squealing, hands thrown up to the heavens, and shirts torn open in righteous indignation if Ukraine, even once (!) responded to Russia’s mass killings and barbaric bombardment of historical heritage by striking the Bolshoi Theatre or the Hermitage…

13 Monsters Good And True I think there are so many genuine monsters in the world that I am consoling myself by drawing little monsters who are good.

Drawing of 13 little 'monsters', rather cute little critters who wouldn't harm a fly, in fact they'd probably give it a bowl of milk and a tiny bed for the night.

Kyiv. Such a beautiful moon. The National Academy of Sciences, a medical centre, residential and office buildings, a petrol station, a café, a warehouse and critical infrastructure were among the places hit or damaged by russian drones today. Autumn. There are casualties.

A really hard choice in the last #MinCup26 quarterfinal, and some fascinating facts in the write-up. In the end, I went for pretty pyromorphite, because of the interaction between fungus and bird poo to clean up lead-contaminated soil: how amazing is that? But graphite would also be a worthy winner.

Strange clouds and quite eerie colours this morning on Glastonbury Tor. This photo was taken about 30 minutes after sunrise. It was quite misty on the ground and very hazy but still made for a lovely way to start the week.

When the Sunday evening walk was very invigorating and squirrel-filled and you feel mellow enough to even let the little brother you (officially) despise rest his blonde head on yours

Two dogs lie on and across several dog beds on a wooden deck. One is sturdy and black and white with dappled fur and limpid chocolate brown eyes. The other is a shaggy blonde fox. The blonde dog rests his head on the head of the older black and white dog. They both look exhausted and satisfied

All day long, Kyiv was under attack by russian drones. Residential buildings, schools, kindergartens, petrol stations, office buildings, data centres, cars - just some of what was hit or damaged. Midnight came.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Kyiv. Air defence is shooting down drones. I finished writing today’s letter. russian drones found a new target - data centres and internet providers. Perhaps I’ll go out for a while. Yes, it’s not safe to wander now. But we have to live somehow.

As you can see from one quick glance at his face, my son is fearless, but it makes me nervous when he swims too far out from the shore, especially when he isn’t wearing his wetsuit.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Wow, what a week one! Hard to choose a favourite. At the moment I've narrowed it down to (in no particular order): Delta, John, Tabby, Bethany, Graeme, Dani and Lacey. What does everyone else think? Going to catch up on all the other comments now ... Have a fabulous week, everyone x #Strictly

SomersetWhovian 💙 🇺🇦 @clairecopperman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Barely able to catch my breath after that samba. Kai juggling fire was just the start of it: the whole dance was HOT. Delta's certainly got the legs for samba, her footwork was sharp and they've got great chemistry. A MAY ZING. #Strictly

SomersetWhovian 💙 🇺🇦 @clairecopperman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oh, that was GORGEOUS. I mean, Katya is stunning, but John's partnering skills showed her off beautifully. The whole thing was properly romantic, and seemed effortless. #Strictly

SomersetWhovian 💙 🇺🇦 @clairecopperman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I rather loved that samba. A real party spirit, full of energy and flirtiness, and some terrific content, albeit with a few slips. I think Dani and Nikita have the makings of a great partnership. I see the #Strictly costume department's already run out of buttons ...

SomersetWhovian 💙 🇺🇦 @clairecopperman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oooh, some real drama there from Jaime. I'm not convinced I Feel Love works as a tango, however, and I would have liked more tango content in the dance itself as well. #Strictly

SomersetWhovian 💙 🇺🇦 @clairecopperman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

What a revelation! I wasn't expecting much from Graeme, but that was a terrific cha-cha - full of content, and with real style. Love Lauren too. #Strictly

Oooh, Craig *really* doesn't like Cach. He's got good musicality and can certainly move, but it would be good to see more of the dance he's supposed to be doing. #Strictly

I keep confusing Melanie with Bonnie Langford, especially as the latter played Mel in Doctor Who. That was a bit clunky, but what a performance! Hoping she stays in for a while, as I love her personality - and so we get more Aljaž. #Strictly

SomersetWhovian 💙 🇺🇦 @clairecopperman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Too much name-dropping from Chris, but he's with lovely Amy, so I hope he stays in for a while. Some decent intensity in his tango, and for someone who's not used to performing, he sold it pretty well. #Strictly

Sorry, was there someone dancing with Vito? I could barely tear my eyes away from him. Seriously though, that was spectacular for week one - flirty, accurate and full of energy. Well done, Lacey. Wonderful to have Vito's impassioned ramblings back too. #Strictly
