I learned to swim in these lakes, its heartbreaking to see this happen, and totally unnecessary, based on greedy, irregulated water company mismanagement www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wish the people who have power to do it would condemn and isolate Trump, Vance, Putin and Netanyahu instead of hosting, appeasing, placating, and by their silence, enabling. @popeleoxiv.bsky.social @keirstarmer.bsky.social @royalfamily.bsky.social

Watching this England team, always feel they can win, and then they do! 🙌👌

Monday evening at 9pm I beat my tennis coach. At tennis, I didn’t just beat him, he’s a very nice man. So once more - at 9pm on Monday I was a) Awake b) Outside with other people. #livingadream(notnecessarilyminethough)

Whoever manages to use a full bag of supermarket carrots before they freeze in the veg drawer or go slimy wins the Omaze House and a pair of Halara jeans 🥇

More accurately, unfunded pay increase offer made to teachers, forcing Head Teachers to cut posts to pay for it.

Terrible commentary from @bbc on World Relay Championships. @BritAthletics women winning gold, neither commentator clocked Amy Hunt taking Fraser-Price apart on 2nd leg to set the win up.

Cardinals nipping out of the Sistine Chapel for a cig break and having a glass of Prosecco before getting a minibus back to the airport doesn’t fit does it? We want them to awaken only for Conclave, and then job done, hover back to a nearby plinth to wait for next time….

@andyburnham.bsky.social @tracybrabinmayorwy.bsky.social @kimmcguinness.bsky.social @danjarvismp.bsky.social the huge number of unhoused people subsisting on the streets of our northern cities is unconscionable. Do something!

Looking forward to singing these beautiful words by Reena Esmail next Saturday with @bfcs1856.bsky.social Written in 2016 in the US and never more needed than now x

In the UK 40% of people claiming welfare benefits HAVE A JOB.

This concert is going to be stunning. If you’re in West Yorks on 29th March come along for a fabulous Saturday evening 🎶

Wonder if world leaders use hands up on Teams.

This was a fabulous day 🎶 fascinating to hear Reena Esmail speak about her work “This Love Between Us”, and Sohini Kaur’s gentle introduction to classical Indian singing was beautiful. Going to be a very special concert on 29th March at St George’s Hall, paired with Carmina Burana.

Joyful, stomping session from #Altan on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social #FolkShow @marcrileydj.bsky.social reminding of 5 yr old me trying to keep up with my mum and my aunties dancing in our front room

I’ll never reconcile the Five Nations becoming the Six Nations.

Ivor (3) was just enjoying listening to Sounds Of The 70s on Radio 2, Mud & then Blondie, dancing in the living room, and then Bob Harris did a very long intro reading people’s texts/emails to which Ivor shouted “PLAY SOME MUSIC, MAN”, which I thought was hilarious, but am his dad so what do I know

Shame on every politician who attended the sham yesterday, and shook his hand and said nothing, you validate and enable him. All power to @mariannbudde www.threads.net/@keithedward...

Before we start thinking of letting AI run services maybe we should get it to recognise the apostrophe in my last name?

Very sad to hear about Tony Slattery. Such an important part of 80s and early 90s comedy😔

Spectacular journey to @lancasteruni.bsky.social with youngest today. Pendle Hill looking beautiful against the blue sky and with the moon out 💕

He’s been like this for about half an hour now. There appears to be no obvious solution 😔

A rare useful tip from a residents FB group for clearing frozen windscreens - warm water in a sealed plastic bag, just wipe across the frozen glass. Works really well, costs very little, no chemicals or risk of cracking the screen 👍
