I think the windows will be in the rooms themselves. That's pretty normal in hospitals here.

Mmm. Nasti Asti, as my sisters and I called it. Whilst drinking it...

There's even a change to who the electorate actually are.

This is a stunning photo! Looks like a renaissance painting. Beautiful.

I used to volunteer at an intercepted food charity. The door code was the death of Edward II, which seemed so obscure to me. But oddly I never forgot it.

A lovely read. I was so moved by Symon saying that his life hadn't been special, but had been made special by being seen. I wonder how being part of this, and knowing they would be seen, had changed their life decisions.

Honestly, just a very odd comment

I'm not long back from the Ardeche in France, where the local cafe served aperol spritz with orange sorbet in it (amongst other combo delights). So your dream is a reality. In France.

It's the "total float" you have to avoid...

"Sitting up" at one end is totally fine.

wildswimmer.bsky.social @wildswimmer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Yep. Sitting up is fine, but actually floating? Time to chuck.

I would think so, depending on what the wrong advice was. At the very least they would have a mess to sort out. He's an absolute horror in every way.

Yes, it's essentially the Tax Office.

It's been marvellous to see, and your commentary has been the icing on the cake.

Heading out last week, I was also struck by the complexity of the announcements. Sommat like "the concourse may be slippy as a result of the inclement weather". Why not just say "rain"?

NT live is marvellous. Feels like the real thing on the big screen, and also great to watch at home

I don't think the NT approach is 'over reach'. It's just honesty. It annoys me when historic houses don't mention how the family could afford to build them.

Maybe it would have been called a range, rather than an oven

My mom grew up on a small farm in Ireland in the 20s. We went back for summer holidays. They had a bread oven next to the fire where soda bread was made. I never saw her use a Dutch oven when she made soda bread. Lots of places had ovens that were turf heated. Harder to control the temp though.

Pretty sure there were ovens. Bread making was a thing.

Just rewatched an episode of Poirot where an "old lady" has a stroke. She looked about 50. Then she's murdered, and her gravestone shows her dates as 1882-1937. So, old at 55 then?!

Reminds me of my Dad's care home where they had memory "news" framed on the wall. The one outside my dad's room was the sinking of the Titanic. Weird all round.

I consider a day's walking in the high mountains to be a crucial element of my writing process. There's no better way to gain a big dollop of uplift and inspiration😊

Once again, the Apopo social media team have triumphed. Brilliant charity, doing amazing work. I heartily recommend supporting them.
