It's hard enough running a marathon, let alone running it in fancy dress. Just seen a giant teddy bear and a giant pig costume.... and all for charity. Good luck to all the runners this morning. #LondonMarathon www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

188 years ago today. John Muir, who convinced US President Theodore Roosevelt that Yosemite should be protected as a national park, was born in Dunbar in East Lothian on 21 April 1838. Today his birthplace is a museum about him. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #EastLothian

Happy Birthday @georgetakei.bsky.social Live long and prosper.

Picked up a lovely print by Geraldine O'Rourke at Spiddal Craft Village, out on the West coast of Ireland. Well worth a visit, if you like art and are in the area.... and An Spidéal (Spiddal) is where my mum was born & grew up. #Ireland #art #coast #Galway #WildAtlanticWay www.spiddalcrafts.com

I have always thought of 1984 as a very important work (of fiction), and now more than ever.

The 1960's Batman series was really hammy, but wow did they have some big names as villains. Gorshin, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, Vincent Price, Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Lee Merriweather, Malachi Throne, Tallulah Bankhead, George Sanders, Eli Wallach, Joan Collins, Liberace, etc, etc.

Happy Birthday #RobertDowneyJr. ... and here he is in a different guise, with one of my favourite #ThePolice #Sting songs. youtu.be/1crxmBTxRlM?...

Happy Birthday Dave Hill. I think people forget quite how big Slade were back then with 17 consecutive top-20 hits and six number ones between 1971 and 1976. I had platforms like those in 74.... not sure about the trunks though!

Well folks ......thats me'n'er on next Tuesday 7th April Channel4. Our Welsh Chapel Dream. 😊

Brilliant montage.

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170M building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night. Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

Happy St Patrick’s Day ☘️ Four glimpses of Ireland from my portfolio. Every one of these images has their own story, something I talk about in detail when presenting my ‘Portfolio In Print’ to clubs around Ireland.

Hozier singing "The Parting Glass" is pure magic. 🇮🇪 This beautiful song brings such nostalgia and makes me miss Ireland—a perfect way to celebrate this St. Paddy’s. 🍀 youtu.be/Y-BmOhjbQ44 #StPatricksDay #photoTuesday #Hozier #ThePartingGlass #Ireland #MusicSky

Finding BBC and #r4today analysis of Trump’s insults of Starmer to be bizarre. Why are we even considering what Trump said? It’s meaningless. Genuinely. Not even Trump knows what he means. The story is - Starmer stood firm and acted in the national interest. Trump threw some toys out of his pram.

Well done @keithbrymerjones.bsky.social Rich, Siobhán, Princess & crew for another great @potterythrow.bsky.social series; and of course, all the potters. Hopefully, another celebrity special at some point, to break up the wait for the next series. Had my own Joe Swash moment many years back!😁

'Let it be' was released #OTD in 1970. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. Lennon disavowed any ownership in a later interview. It made Number 1 in numerous countries, but was kept at Number 2 in the UK by Lee Marvin's "Wand'rin' Star".

A beautiful night of singing, guitar, & reminiscences from @lylelovett.bsky.social & John Hiatt ended with just a hint of resistance: Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land.” Perfect. (Note to Bluesky leaders: I know you guys are young, but ffs, give Mr. Lovett a blue check!)

It's good to see there is still a (small) portion of the British press who call things as they are, instead of lauding incompetent, divisive right-wingers.
