Progress!! 😃
Managed to do an online delivery because I'm no longer in a place which is so rural that they can't go or so poor that they won't go.
Wave of the future. I bought a load of heavy stuff and @archivedelver.bsky.social need never have to be taken around the supermarket like a petulant 5 year old again

The BBC we need. 👍
Make me the new DG of the BBC and I will make it wall-to-wall history documentaries, and then spend the other 50% of the budget on paying Aardman to make Wallace and Gromit films for the next 100 years.

From the Barnabas Aid prayer diary for this day - a sobering reminder of the realities of IS persecution of Christians in this region. The lack of outrage at and condemnation of this ongoing violence is a profound failure on the part of Churches in the West.

Have to cost how much making a cushion of this would cost and how much I could then sell it to you nutters for?
Today's album is The Beach Boys Love You, the last truly great Beach Boys album, and maybe their greatest. Almost a solo album by Brian, it would seem like the only intelligent response by a sixties act to punk, if I thought Brian Wilson had ever heard a punk record.

And, especially in the case of public transport, they listened far too readily to pundits and consultants who hadn't a clue that Ireland's growing population would need infrastructure.
One criticism made of governments and civil servants in the past is that they did not plan sufficiently for the future, writes David Murphy.

Richard Moore is extraordinary. Blinded by a soldier in Derry when he was 10, Richard went on to found Children In Crossfire, an international body tackling trauma and poverty in conflict zones and An Crann a project to help people safely share experiences of the Troubles. This piece is very moving.
We are so excited to welcome Witness, written by Damian Gorman and inspired by the true story of his friend Richard Moore, to HomePlace on Friday 14th November.

1850. The Public Libraries Act means councils in England & Wales can now spend local taxes on libraries. Some London regions are VERY slow to adopt the act. St Pancras rate-payers object to “wasting” money on “showy luxuries”. Fifty years pass before a free library opens in the district #PubLibs 💙📚
