Have just seen this on FB, and made me love Tim Curry even more.

Lovely humans,

I'm training to run a half-marathon for @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social in May!

I only started running last year so this is a big challenge for me - but I know the challenge for refugees to rebuild their lives is even greater.

All donations/shares would be HUGELY appreciated!! ❤️❤️❤️

'Alright pal, got plans for the #BigGardenBirdwatch?'

'Nah, just the usual... hang out of sight whilst she's doing the count, then touch down once the hour's over. You?'

'Classic. Planning some fly-bys with a few of the boys, but we'll only land one at a time.'

'Niiice.'
