The Hack ITVX Ia well worth a watch. Excellent performances by all the cast. News International phone hacking scandal from the eyes of newspaper reporters from The Guardian. A huge scandal, well told, leaves us frustrated by powerful newspaper magnate Murdoch even today. #TheHack #ITVX

news.sky.com/story/congre... The letter in full is here on #SkyNews It worth a read. It’s pretty damning ! Mr Windsor is in deep 💩 now and about time he was made to face justice here and in USA. He brings shame on us for letting him be hidden by the RF for so long.

I know I always say that it’s the cover that gets me when choosing a book! Maybe I was just a little tired myself that day! 😳🤣 #TBR It’s been on my tbr a while now. #MyYearofRestandRelaxation by #OttessaMoshfegh It’s a funny start…watch this space!

Tomorrow’s plan. Buy all those cheap pumpkins 🎃 and make soup, purée and anything pumpkin. 🎃 Can you tell I have a new chest freezer. Only a little one but I’m so excited!! 😆 Small problem is that I’m only 5’1” and I can’t reach the bottom of it. Watch this space …ahhhhh!!

Just made another Bara Brith. It always turns out delicious and everyone likes it. My Xmas cake on the other hand doesn’t get eaten. They don’t like marzipan or icing. I have a cunning plan! Dried cranberries in my next Bara Brith and a Santa 🎅 on the top! Job done #XmasCake #Santa #BaraBrith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

On 21st of October 1966, 116 children and 28 adults were killed in the horrific Aberfan disaster, caused by the failure of the National Coal Board. Today, we remember those who lost their lives and stand with the community of Aberfan now and always. Never again.

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate this festival. 🪔

Have been out this week surveying Goldilocks Aster (Galatella linosyris) on the steep limestone cliffs of Y Gogarth (Great Orme) for Species Recovery Trust. Glad to report it’s in fine fettle, flowering well - if a little late - after the summer drought #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

I’d like to share that I have a drowned rat in my geraniums. I leave buckets out when it rains to use in dry periods. Hose pipe ban! Emptying one today into my trough and it fkn stank. Dead drowned rat! Still there as I can not go back to do anything about it. Its tail is still sticking out! 🤢

RIP Diane Keaton. In Annie Hall she created a character we all wanted to be. Cool 😎 Thank you.☺️

Good morning all. 6:20am and the Tawny Owls🦉 are calling outside my window! Lovely wake up call! #UKBirds #TawnyOwls #BirdsofBlueSky #MerlinBirdApp Merlin App has these as rare, hence the red dot 🔴 Plenty here in West Yorkshire.

Looked after my 2 year old grandson today. He drew a picture of Peter Rabbit and said his cat has whiskers too. Did 10 jigsaws and talked non stop. Took a parcel to his Daddy who was working upstairs and played imaginary games. Put the bin out with me and waved to the bin man. Little things 💙 #WMHD

#WorldMentalHealthDay To anyone that needs a hug 🤗 As many have said so wisely, asking for help is not a weakness it’s a strength. Be strong 💪 Ask! #Andy’sManClub #Samaritans #Mind Your loved ones and family too. ♥️
