There's a new-ish Android app in the Play Store that I'm so impressed with.
It's called Grain Camera.
play.google.com/store/apps/d...
It's free with no ads, and no tracking of your personal data.
Unlike other "retro camera" apps out there, it allows you to create your own default film effects.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.
The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyone’s rights.

Hi all!
What have I been doing during this time off you ask?
Funny you should ask because I wanted to tell you if you’re looking for Christmas presents for your favourite people I highly recommend the entire series of Strike detective novels by Robert Galbraith.
