Dolly Parton:

“There’s just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me and I ain’t done working. So I love you for caring, and keep praying for me.”

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

My heart is fractured, but not yet broken.
For as long as I see and feel the love of my brethren, I will persist, and fight that which needs to be fought.

Love and goodwill must triumph over all else.

The Museum of the Order of St John is hosting a launch event for my book on 22 October. I'll be talking about the paintings of Mattia Preti, dress, textiles and life in Malta in the seventeenth century.

We interrupt your mid morning tea break to invite you for a constitutional down an old street of York.

Today's saunter is down Stonegate, or the via praetoria to our Roman friends.

Come join us!

We are looking at an oil painting showing a street with buildings of different periods from late Tudor to Georgian and newer Victorian buildings. Shop fronts are brightly painted and people are stood in doorways or looking into windows. Some in the distance is climbing into a carriage.

Whenever I feel alone I try to remind myself that my parents are looking down on me with love and hoping that one day I’ll find happiness with a special someone, and that when I do I’ll finally let them out of the attic.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"
