Photo of a crash in town last night - first responders arrived to find the vehicle empty and later arrested the driver.
There is something about the composition and balance of warm and cold light contrasts that speaks to me in a way I can't quite put my finger on.

An interesting piece about childrens author Rosemary Sutcliff, the reason I was the weird kid growing up She was the author of the Roman/Arthurian The eagle of the ninth and The sword at sunset, but also her retelling of the Cuchulain saga - The hound of Ulster, all books that fired my imagination

I can hear my eldest son chatting online and laughing A LOT!
It's nice to hear him happy, but his laugh is the bastard offspring of Roland Rat and Blakey from On the Buses.

I don't know enough about George, but I do know he is young and young offenders need compassion to help change, & while I believe that people have the right to redeem themselves after serving their time, Jolenes answer should have been a flat no to George, for her daughters sake alone.

I never cared much for Coronation Street, but it had its moments and I think Violet Carson (Ena Sharples) was a national treasure.
Coronation Street - written by Jack Rosenthal (16th October 1961). The residents head out on a chara for a day-trip to Blackpool. Both Minnie and Ena (although Ena claims otherwise) are drawn to the ominous utterings of the fortune teller ....

Looks like an ordinary detached houses in Solihull are going for well over a million, so a good sale and with his inheritance could buy Akram well a farm in Ambridge.
Especially if mulligans daughter meets and is charmed by him and his care for the beasts and wants a quick job lot sale

I didn't care for the fish motif so replaced that with the other motifs

Happy Anita Bryant pie day
On this day, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was pied in the face by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist.
Bryant had declared about homosexuality “I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.”
Never show tolerance to the intolerant

Ghosts in popular culture and folklore became translucent due to new optical shows, like phantasmagoria and magic lantern that projected luminous images.
A modern ghost might drift, woo and disperse, a medieval ghost would break through the door and beat you to death with the broken planks.

Well, well well, there were two things I didn't expect from todays #TheArchers.
I didn't expect anyone to turn up to Georges party.
I didn't expect Amber Brad and George to form a polycule before Ruairi, Paul and Ben.
