Criminal Record, Apple TV (S1) - what a great cast. And the storyline is pretty impressive too.

Since the start of the Middle East conflict, our bill for fossil fuel imports increased by € 25 billion. Without a single molecule more of energy. We need to reduce our overdependency on fossil fuels. Boost clean energy like renewables and nuclear. And electrify Europe.

This lively little prancing horse is a Roman bronze knife or key handle 🐴 😍 It is one of four bronze objects buried together some 1,800 years ago. The so-called ‘Rydale Hoard’ was found by two metal detectorists in North Yorkshire, in May 2020. Yorkshire Museum 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Four beautiful pieces of 7th century gold & garnet jewellery, found in #NorthYorkshire and #Derbyshire, now in Weston Park Museum, #Sheffield. The idea that the age was 'dark', is bemusing - apart from in the sense that it isn't illuminated by many written sources. #FindsFriday #AngloSaxon 📷 mine

#FridayFrocks #SpringFlowers Evening dress from the 1840s made of a brocaded floral silk which dates from the 1770s. It’s probably made from an old bolt of fabric rather than a re-construction of an 18th-century dress.

Lovely Ellie Gowers in London tomorrow #folk #livemusic mailchi.mp/956402c904be...

#FlowersOnFriday Tulips from the entrance to Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens, North Solihull.

'Branch Hill Pond, Hampstead.' In the summer of 1821, John Constable began making direct studies in the open air of cloud formations. These were mostly made from the high ground at Hampstead village - an ideal observation point.

Today, the Assisted Dying Bill will fall. The actions of a small group of unelected peers on this Bill have been deplorable. It’s a stain on our democracy and a slap in the face to hundreds of terminally ill people and their families, who were given hope when MPs voted in favour last year.

This is NOT AI. These are green dragontail butterflies (Lamproptera meges), native to S & SE Asia. They compensate for undersized wings with long 'swallowtails' to generate lift. Butterflies that fly in cursive, swimming like fish through the air. (📷: Center for Biological Diversity)

Start your Friday with this happy little thread

Good morning! Here is a three-day old sea-otter pup, snoozing on their Mama. The image is by one my favourite wildlife photographers, Suzi Eszterhas, who runs girlswhoclick.org - an organisation that mentors girls and young women interested in nature photography. Feel free to share.

The warmer weather makes seaside holidays seem very attractive. This children's book of mine might make the summer term fly faster. #Scotland #Seaside #Holidays #ChildrensBook georgehharris.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-...

A trip down memory lane with this one - so long ago I barely remember it. I do know it’s a linocut of a tube station, although I can’t quite place which one, and I’m drawing a bit of a blank on the title too. Must be getting old… #linocut #londonart

This 1,800 year-old Roman glass cup is so well preserved that the railway construction worker who found it in the 1800s used it as a flower vase not realising its age! 💐 😲 From Himlingøje, Denmark. National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology

We reported in January that an unanticipated effect of the Renters' Rights Act was to create a stamp duty liability for about 150,000 tenants. The good news is that the Government just announced it will legislate retrospectively to fix this:

In case you’re near Holt in the next month pop into the Bircham Gallery and see the work of Sarah Lees and Barry Stedman. #sisterbias

Headline of the Day.

In the summer of 1888, John Singer Sargent and his family moved to Calcot Mill near the River Kinnett in the English country of Berkshire. This work bears all the hallmarks of swift painting, there's a freshness in the slightly skewed composition and the brio of the brushwork.

It's harder than ever to promote and spread the word about the good stuff that we all make. This sounds obvious but if you see something you think is fantastic, repost it! As a prolific 'liker' on Bluesky I often forget to repost the stuff I love, and it really helps to get more eyes on nice things.

Keith Vaughan painted just twenty still life oil paintings over the course of his career. This work 'Pomegranate, Lemon, Cup,' painted in 1948, consists of a tabletop with a striped tablecloth and angular forms.

#JoinMeOnMyWalk from Saturday evening. I love all the seasons, but particularly enjoy #Spring for the return of #butterflies and once the clocks change I get the joy of witnessing them roost for the night! Orange-tips guarding their territory awaiting the females. @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Another flower piece from 1987. I worked hard on flower paintings at that time, enjoying doing them but pleased to get sales to pay the bills! This and the last one posted are scanned from film photos of the paintings taken at the time.
