That was where I first saw Mandy's work. Had not seen anything like it before and I was so taken with her style!

Today's @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange theme is ‘Urban landscapes’. We've long been fans of Mandy Payne: "I wanted to work with materials that were integral to sites I was depicting." 📷 Urban Geometry I; Remnants Of A Welfare State; For The Many Not The Few. Images by Mandy Payne

It is a tough one when you know just how nice they are. He's always been a real supporter of Who, and RTD in particular. He broke me in Years and Years!

Have to agree - apart from Kate being badass, it was tedious and a little bit obvious. Tovey quickly became irritating with his breathy voice - I kept things he was going to start saying 'friends' in a Jay from Inbetweeners way!

Calling all my arty chums. Does anyone recognise this stamp on the back of a painting? I've had to enhance it a little as it is faint.

Saw two of hers in the Turner Always Contemporary at the Walker in Liverpool. Very nice indeed!

I've been practising with oil pastels and greyhounds. Not too unhappy with these efforts!

Ah, that's what that meant. I did wonder. It is a miracle no one was killed, having watched the footage. Said at the time it would be an arrogant wanker who thought he had the right to just plough through a crowd and they would get out of his way!

Listening to the judge's summing up was interesting. I hadn't realised that being charged with multiple offences which each carry their own sentence meant you serve each of those.

09.10.80 I woke up for school hearing Help! on the radio. Night before I'd played the red & blue albums, picking out John's tracks. News came on, "Ex-Beatle, John Lennon..."for a second I wondered what he had done. The next line broke my heart forever💔 #LENNONLIVESON

This is the face I get when I move a smidgen after 2 hours of being her sofa! The ingratitude of a mardy cat! 😹

If she does become an outdoor cat, she will use her claws outside so it is rare to need them clipping. Mine is rarely out now and I can see how much they grow when they are not using them. The other thing that will be useful is for you to learn to give her tablets. Ask the vet to show you.

Totally agree with this. Fantastic production and a clever idea to set it in the North with the set reflecting the industrial landscapes. Students in front of me were whispering after certain scenes and, being a teacher, I knew they were making connections to the text. Top marks for them as well!

What an amazing looking set! This is my photo of Musée d'Orsay in London that I manipulated for a wallpaper. There is something about the use of clocks as a metaphor for time passing and stopping that is so moving.

A former students achieved a first at Edinburgh this summer. She loved the course and is excited about her future plans. It came about after we talked about what she could study and I suggested Art History. I'm so proud of her but I also know that the skills she has developed will be transferable!

Never really had any dealings with them although I remember being taken to the races when I was about 9 and a dog broke its kneecap and I heard the owner tell the vet to just put him down and he walked off. I sobbed for days 😭 Looking forward to next week!

I hear you! I have started pilates to try and strengthen, and...drum roll...I've signed up to a greyhound rehoming centre to walk and groom the dogs!! I met Charley today who would rather lean against my leg than walk 🥹 For the rest of the day I've been beaming saying "I got to pet a dog today" 🐕‍🦺

I loved my comics and wouldn't be parted from them. When we moved, my dad told me I had to get rid of some. After an hour I came downstairs, face tear-stained, clutching a battered copy of Twinkle. I held it out and with a quivering voice said, "You can throw this one away."

Don't listen to it as much as I did at the beginning and there are still tracks I have to skip over. But I stand by my feeling that Anthropocene is the best track they have ever done with Veruschka coming alongside saying "and what about me?" Oh, and Slow Train is delightfully sleazy!

When is this going to stop, Bear? I am sick of hearing the vile language coming out of their mouths. I spent 20 years teaching children to be tolerant, to appreciate how rich our culture is thanks to everyone who came here to make it their home, aka 'British Values' and it was all for nothing!

It is a little known fact that tonight's clock re-adjustment was pioneered by German-British artist Frank Auerbach, to the great dismay of the proponent of the original change, politician Konrad Adenauer

All our gardens are full of bird loving foliage so when my next door neighbour took out everything including the trees to just have a lawn, I was gutted. Couldn't believe anyone could be so selfish. Upside is, they all moved next door to us!

I taught A Level English Language for 20 years. It is not an 'easy' course by any stretch. It is also inappropriate to use this as a gauge for English language competence. Perhaps those saying it is would like to produce a 2500 word language investigation for me!
