Night all.

A smile ☺️ A small favour. A kind word. That’s all it takes #WorldKindnessDay

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company." The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

Photographing migrant Short Eared Owls always runs the risk of you getting a mind blowing mid-air image of a female Kestrel (who isn't best pleased about an intruder on her patch), flying up to have a game of tug of war on a Vole, with said Owl... #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

My wife's weird, last week she said she wouldn't mind if I had a tattoo, today she's complaining about all the bagpipers in the garden.

I for one will welcome, etc. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2560607...

While my guitar gently meeps

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Tonight is the final episode of THE ABERGELE FILES. There are spies, casinos, master criminals, murders and a gunfight on the roof of a speeding train. 'Geneva' is on Radio Wales at 6.30 and BBC Sounds after that

Night all.

It’s a consequence of my dedicated use of digital calendars that every Tuesday at 7.30pm I get an email saying “You have been invited by Rhodri Marsden to an event entitled Put Bins Out”

Who can dispute the crucial role of herons in churches? @everyheron.bsky.social This pair in Selborne have their pectinate toes full, dealing with the chaos caused by St Francis kindly feeding the birds. At one point, it seemed as though the hoopoe might be accidentally trodden on!

Flambeau is in this Touch of Frost.

@silverpebble2.bsky.social Listening to the rain under My Tree on Sunday. xxxx

Fantastic mullet on this chap in Frost.

This was a question on House of Games today. The contestants had to replace Phone Book with the correct answer. Their responses (in all seriousness) were: Census Book (good effort) Yellow Pages Address Book and THE BIBLE. We're domed.

Another life lost in a "care" home. And people wonder why we don't consider a residential placement for T. #FragileX #epilepsy mydaftlife.com/2025/11/11/c...

The news that nearly 80% of NHS managers are concerned that their staff face discrimination from patients and the public is very troubling. Staff are now reporting feeling intimidated by the presence of flags, especially when visiting patients in their homes. (1/3)

'They were those like Sir Oswald Mosley who were fascinated by the spectacle of brutal power. They would like to use it themselves. They grovelled to Nazi dictatorship in order that they could make people in their turn grovel to them' Winston Churchill, 1936

Police have named the couple they’re looking for in connection to a racist incident on the tube and they’re wealthy Trump supporters and founders of an “anti-woke” PR firm.

the bbc should tell Trump they already paid him, he won’t remember, he falls asleep during meetings & only knows it’s the weekend because Saturday Melania puts him in golf clothes

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

they really do have a lot of friends

House Sparrows in the stubble. Chirpy, well-grounded youngsters learn the skills of kibbling grains of wheat. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsOnTheGround

Columbo in his first episode looks like a dog that's just come back from the groomer

Bond writers being stuck because he was blown to pieces shows how good Looney Tubes writers were because Wile E Coyote was always being obliterated but came back for more

I’m giving an online talk on Thursday evening at 8pm (UK time) about Birds & Flight. It’s free to RSPB members but anyone can join for a donation. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/talk-by-le...

When asked for examples of when the BBC is not impartial, the right-wing contributor on R5 this morning immediately launched into an attack on trans people.
