I wonder if David Attenborough would like to be Prime Minister. #DavidAttenborough

Have just asked the #catpest if he wants his yummies, his yummyyummies, and judging by the way he lacerated my foot in his mad dash for the feeding station, he does. What? Please don't tell me you don't talk rubbish to your pets. It's what they're there for.

#GoodLunch #pudding

There I was, engrossed in washing my front door, oblivious to anything else, when half a dozen neighbours and connections walked past on their way to a fancy Sunday lunch. Never mind it's not as if I had my arse aloft, wearing my most transparent leggings, was it? WE ARE ALL TRAUMATISED NOW.

Am turning out my kitchen cupboards, as weather not brilliant today either. Also, guy who painted the bathroom last week has offered to paint the kitchen next week (for a not particularly small consideration) and since I have had to clear it for him, might as well clean too. #BadHousekeeping

#SundayPix #SundayPixTime There’s this tiny guy in a clock near Paddington Station that constantly paints and erases and paints again the hands of a clock. He works long hours. Tiny? He’s minute.

I think I'm going to have to stop expressing opinions or asking questions on here. It gets more like the birdsite every day. Pity, because at one point it was quite nice.

On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

So there are crazy headlines, and then there are "I'm sorry WTAF now?" headlines...😳 Yes, the Telegraph have deduced that Ed Miliband hates mothers because of some new legislation making tumble dryers more efficient and cheaper to run! 🧵 1/24

'Sun, Sea and Sky: a Summer Phantasy,' (1892) is unique in John Atkinson Grimshaw’s body of work. It's remarkable in its minute Boudin-like detail with each grouping of figures given characterisation and individuality, location: Scarborough in Yorkshire.

Dreamt last night I went on holiday to a Mediterranean island and kept bumping into Arthur Lowe. I was trying to get a bus back to my hotel but had to go through the ticket office to do so, and the route involved jumping down a small cliff. Do not feel very refreshed today. #dreams

'A Blue Room in Kensington.' (1930) An art critic reviewing an exhibition by James Durden wrote in her report: 'Mr. Durden’s chief trait in common with other Manchester born artists is his adherence to light, clean colour, and other qualities quite foreign to Lancashire.'

Very disappointed to see that the mods have pulled the truly epic fight that was going down on the village FB page earlier. Someone's dog went someone else's dog and it was handbags at dawn.

People often frame this as "cigarettes will kill you" which yeah. True. But first they'll attach you to an oxygen tank and leave you gasping and barely able to walk, a pale half-alive zombie for your last decade while all your friends who didn't smoke live and laugh and sing and climb mountains.
