2 PC Ted. Hand knitted by volunteers, every RAPT car has one to provide comfort to children - or whoever needs it - at difficult times 💔 Another way that volunteers help our Police deliver excellence.

Nostalgia descends.

Ah... congratulations on making it happen. You are going to leave such a gap here in Norfolk. Enjoy your Christmas, hopefully relatively cardboard box free!

Done! Thanks for letting me know 😊

It really should not have taken that much time and energy. That position wrt Highways is very long established so this can only have been an unnecessary exercise in frustration for residents.

Sarah @uksarahtaylor.bsky.social · Nov 17

Thanks so much for your suggestions. Will look into them.

Interesting - I'll take a look into Baton Rouge for sure. I had assumed that Nashville was very touristic so maybe the dynamic is tourists / residents / bar visitors? Now I'm wondering if/how night time economy tourists change the feel of a place compared with just "regulars" 🤔

Sarah @uksarahtaylor.bsky.social · Nov 17

That sounds familiar - like some office to residential conversions in the UK. Horrible. Aside from the acoustic design, would you say the area actually set up for residents or is it more skewed towards the tourists / visitors to bars etc?

Sarah @uksarahtaylor.bsky.social · Nov 17

Team Urbanism... any top examples of places where residents live immediately adjacent the night time economy and thrive? Especially places with good design and community, plus noisy nightclubs and bars 🙏🏼

Earlier this year, my lovely old TC died. I still miss his furry features. Bluesky's cat feed makes it increasingly difficult to resist heading to the rescue centre to find another old one who needs a retirement home 💛

A very handsome tabby cat. Broad bridge of node long white whiskers slightly sad old-cat eyes.

It is!

Every time I see a bit of positive movement on this I am hopeful. But cannot help but wonder if the horror of IPPs is ever going to get fully sorted.

Peers say not reforming IPP sentences could cause another Post Office scandal

Ministers told they risk more miscarriages of justice by not backing bill to replace indefinite jail terms with fixed ones

The community pantry that they run is well stocked and well used - this is the fourth community pantry I've visited since my term started. The fact we need them is appalling. But I'm so glad that teams like this are around the county.

Took a day and a bit off this week to discharge a legal obligation on an old job that I have been involved in for 7 years. Proper end of an era vibes 💚

Two perfect round mushrooms growing in short grass with brown fallen leaves around them

Piglets rooting through straw in a big muddy pen. Two black, 2 ginger, 2 white and pink with black spots

Farmyard with barns either side, one with straw bales stacked in. In the distance green plastic-wrapped silage bales being stacked by a tractor

Back home after a quick trip to Wales to see family. Via Harlech for some Hoci Poci with castle views ❤️
