I love it when you show us your bookcases! Gav claims to have a "library" but I suspect his books would be too "Gothic" for my taste. I sometimes think that you and I are the only real Intellectuals on here and true aficionados of:

PS The spelling of German words and names is a lot more logical, and closer to English, than that of French words, IMHO. It is like the Rickenbacher guitars which John Lennon and George Harrison played in the Beatles.

And it has been 1 day since I was left off the team photo. This is racial discrimination against Mackems so here is a little something for you to start your day with: Sunderland 1 Newcastle 0.

I live in the Liverpool suburbs. Liverpool was the second biggest port in the Empire after London. Wealthy merchants built these houses in the Georgian era when we had a German king and his descendants on the throne!

When I was a teenager, I had an Classics for Pleasure LP of Mediaeval Christmas Music. I loved it. You can't get it now. CfP LPs were about £1.25 each whereas normal LPs were £3.50 or more!

Did you get the video of the dogs dancing which I sent you? I have just had a video call with my son Tim and his family in Bath. This is my grandson, Robbie.

Hi, Matthew, Found something in the other place which you and @wulfhelm.bsky.social would like:

I agree. I even like looking at pictures of books. This is the Long Room in Trinity College Library, Dublin.

The pictures in this group used to consist mainly of sunsets, like this.

This used to be how Gav communicated with us:

I was born in Sunderland. The accent their is softer and it rises and falls, as Swedish does, but Danish and Norwegian don't. He probably knows this and he definitely doesn't like people from Sunderland. This is the church where I was baptised. It looks a bit Swedish to me.

The monastery was destroyed by the Danes but they built a Priory on the same site later on. Then Henry VIII, or Thomas Cromwell, destroyed that:

I had copied a slide show, with different views of Holy Island (Lindisfarne), including one of the castle, but there are always problems with embedded videos on Bluesky. Here is a picture of the castle.

@bakerhelm.bsky.social This is Norwich market now. The stalls are like painted wooden sheds. When I lived there they had tubular metal poles as the framework with colourful canvas rooves.

Rain in Norwich, and rain in Liverpool. I think this is by the Pier Head. I have just copied it from the Liverpool Echo's website.

The man wearing this helmet is dangerous and deranged. If you see him, do not approach him.

Sorry to but in on the convo, Janet, but I wanted to let you know that I have been busy IRL. My wife's uncle died a couple of weeks ago and then we became grandparents. Have just returned from a trip to Bath to see our grandson, Robbie!
