So that's my Mother, and my Father-in-Law, both admitted to hospitals today. Wonder why I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed?

My central heating system decided summer was finally over at 4am this morning, and switched itself on. Ah well.

My wife is enjoying #MarbleHallMurders as it was shot in the Danilia Village and Park tourist attraction that she used to work in when she spent a summer on Corfu some 40 years ago.

When Anton started talking about something an old friend said I thought he was going to say "Didn't they do well?" #SCD #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

Told some tales here recently about an eastern European colleague not quite grasping English. This week she told us how she bought her morning coffee; she could remember the words for 'small' & 'large' but not for the middle size, & so asked a bemused barista for "an average cappuccino".

So that's where all those pic-a-nic baskets went.....
A dark car on a road, driving towards a cathedral spire.  The car has a numberplate that looks like it reads "Y BEAR".

Are you learning darkroom practice too? I actually have a CSE in photography, did it in my lunchtimes at school. We used to do black and white - so you could have a red light on in the darkroom - and colour, where you had to work in pitch black!
