@lbflyawayhome.bsky.social Haven you seen the latest Shaun the Sherp movie. Shaun gets a lot of his ideas in the movie from what looks suspiciously like a Ladybird Science book!

After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

There is a tendency to talk about people who receive support from the state as though they are somehow a completely different group from the rest of us: ‘taxpayers’ over here and ‘benefit claimants’ over there. My piece for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/non...

None of us knows what is around the corner

A personal testimonial of the life-saving benefits of a social security system that supports the people, and the dangers of villainising those who find need of it

Well today learnt that Abernathy biscuits have nothing to do with the town. They do have a very nice 11th century tower though

Just going through Stockbridge in Edinburgh, it is definitely busier than it used to be, must be the influence of Instagram and the like.

Went to see De Gaulle Victoire yesterday. It was so engrossing despite being 2.5 hours long. A perspective of the war I didn’t know about. My grandmother ended up in a lift with General De Gaulle when he visited Liverpool.

Just seen Pressure with Andrew Scott. Engrossing film, covered a complex subject of meteorology as best could be done in this context. Minor criticisms, it was meant to be June but obviously filmed in Autumn, it seemed to be US soldiers only who invaded France don’t know where the 🇬🇧or 🇨🇦 were.

Found 3 of them in Glasgow today. My Mum’s friend had two Scotties at different times, one Kirsty, one Penny. Hardly ever see them as a breed these days.

I’m afraid I didn’t really enjoy this book by Agatha Christie. It set up a good mystery but the conclusion dragged on and I was getting a bit bored by it. I really enjoy a lot of her other books. It reminded me why I love Dorothy L Sayers books.
