Hamish went to stay with my widowed and blind ma-in-law for a bit to combat the crushing loneliness of the pandemic. They forged a relationship where, to this day, they remain each other’s absolute favourite.

The name #Yule is sometimes traced to Old English hweol, “wheel”, a reflection of the sun’s circular journey through the solstices and equinoxes. At the #WinterSolstice, that ancient wheel turns from darkness toward light once more. #FolkloreSunday

Hard to believe that this species once roamed the tundra, the desert and the jungle, felling mighty beasts with intelligence, teamwork and guile. Now it has to look at me like this in the desperate hope of some cheese.
Mind you. She did get the cheese.

The wonderful film by Sally Wainwright about the Bronte siblings is on iplayer. It's earthy and realistic.
Be warned, some of the images are upsetting. Particularly some of the outside shots where you can see Lancashire in the distance.

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”
