I already have a favourite for #Strictly (although I haven’t seen them all yet), but I think it’s going to take me a while to adjust to the overkill of three presenters, and to Josh Widdecombe, in particular. Nothing against him, I just find him so irritating, and he looks so out of place. For now.🪩

Kid’s first protest. On the way home he said “I don’t see how that changes anything.” I said “did you hear all the people honking that they agree?” “Yeah.” “They felt less alone in their pain today. That’s not nothing.”

Just thinking about this “adult only” wedding idea. I can just about see the logic, but it saddens me, esp. when the couple have a child themselves. My understanding of a wedding with more than a couple of guests or witnesses is that it’s a community celebration. How can we reject a— 1/2 #TheArchers

Here comes the sun... ☀️ Photo: Japanese anemone, earlier this week. #BNWMacro #Stunday #MonochromeMonday #MacroMonday #Macro #MacroPhotography #BloomScrolling #SmallBeauties #Gardening #Autumn #ECK #EastCoastKin

Portrait-oriented, 4:5 monochrome image.

Close up of an open Japanese anemone flower in the lower half of the frame. It has multiple petals surrounding a ring of anthers at its centre. It is backlit by the sun, which is shining through some of the delicate petals.

The background on the right is the foliage of various plants and it is out of focus.

The background on the left consists of more anemone stems and buds with the out-of-focus flower spikes of Purple Loosestrife towering over them. The Loosestrife has mostly gone to seed.

The sun is shining through the Loosestrife at the top left of the frame. The gable end of a house is also visible in the top left of the frame and clear sky with some broken white cloud in the top right of the picture.

That was sad. And very well acted. I am surprised that Allen said Carol wasn’t in pain, though, because it certainly sounded like she was in pain to me. Or Is that just what vicars say? #TheArchers

The Liberals’ move to privatize airport operations is a mistake. Experience shows that adding a profit element can’t help but increase costs and drive cuts to service. And any foreign ownership of critical infrastructure touching our national security is clearly unwise in these times.
