As I refuse to submit to the tech gremlins I have a few more items added to my website. The ‘Bubble Pendants’ are back 😊, these are my most popular style & now hang on a diamond cut sterling silver ball chain for added sparkle. If you have any question please message me. 😊

#Blue, the robot, cried as, on television, the East Wing fell. "I met Ike there," said the construct from 1952, his boxy metal fingers gently holding the woman Eve's strong hand. She said, who was his wife once, "I watched Jackie on TV give us all a tour of those rooms."

If you're in church this Christmas season, you can send me pictures of the church & I will try to tell you what is interesting about its architecture!
If you do it while you're in the church, I may even be able to do it in real time.

This is my church service* to you!

(*See what I did there...)

Now available from my website. There is only one like this, can’t be repeated the same due to the design processes involved in its creation.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.

The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

So here's a thing. I help run my local food bank, and we're doing this: 12 Days of Christmas Giving.

It's the busiest time of year for us and we have to build up our stocks right through December.

I know you're not in N4, but all food banks are in the same boat, so if you can help please do! 🙏🎄

It's impossible to resit the snooze when you're this cosy 💤

Patsy is a pro at finding the warm spots to snuggle into and soon she'll be heading off on her big adventure, starting the early stages of her training to become a life-changing hearing dog.

Good luck little one 🐾🥰

So, happy 50th anniversary to Melody Maker’s review of Bohemian Rhapsody: “Queen, with a suitably baroque vocal orchestration, contrive to approximate the demented fury of the Balham Amateur Operatic Society performing The Pirates of Penzance”

Gotta respect the Beeb's dedication to proving Bregman's point about the cowardice of the media. But probably the best response is for any guest on a BBC programme who agrees that Trump is "the most openly corrupt president in American history" should say that, live on air.
NEW: BBC tells staff they cannot quote Trump line removed from Reith Lecture

BBC News article & Media Show prevented from repeating Rutger Bregman’s corruption allegation in its coverage… of whether the BBC censored his speech!

BBC/Trump fallout continues

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The biggest volunteer perk? The company of an adorable dog!

Richard shares "We started by doing holiday cover & were asked if we could have a dog for longer. We loved it!"

"It’s fantastic to see the dog developing life-changing skills."
