I find it amusing that there is a real family of pigeons called 'ducula'.

The Doom painting above the chancel screen at North Leigh, Oxon.
Lovely!
Wonderful!
The picture shows a piece of limestone with a drawing of a mouse sitting in front of a table of offerings, smelling the fragrance of a lotus flower which she holds in her hand. Opposite of the table is a cat, holding a fan.
A charming #Egyptian drawing of a #cat acting as a servant to a #mouse. Drawings of animals acting as people were meant as satire of the society and politics.
Dating 13th/12th century BC, probably from Deir el-Medina, #Egypt.

Sixteen years ago, 11th March 2010, Hatch, the ship's dog from the Mary Rose, made a starring appearance at one of the world's most prestigious dog shows, Crufts!
He didnβt win any prizes, but he did make a lot of new friends!
As a Labour MP put it to me, Wes Streeting looked around and said, 'well, not everyone can be on the boat.'
It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.
Where was Farageβs closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putinβs pal Medvedchuk?
To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics
The warnings are there for us all to see
Yes, it's hard. I met a gorgeous ash-red pigeon fledgeling on Monday, and am worried for him.
ASMR Alert!

My photo shows the monochrome mosaic floor of the womenβs changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum. Black tessarae (mosaic tiles) are used to depict the sea god Triton, who is holding a club over his left shoulder and a small fish in his right hand. He is surrounded by a cherub, dolphins, octopus, and a squid. Set against a white tile background.
Hereβs a fuller view of the mosaic floor in the womenβs changing room (apodyterium) at the Central Baths in Herculaneum. The monochrome floor mosaic depicts a marine scene featuring the spectacular octopus together with the sea god Triton, a cherub, dolphins, and a squid.
#PigeonSky Cushies!
Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why wonβt the PM simply overrule her?
Home Office Home Office refuses to exempt exceptional students from tough immigration rules Exclusive: Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper concerned about student visa ban on female Chevening scholars from volatile countries such as Afghanistan Pippa Crerar Political editor Tue 10 Mar 2026 The Home Office rejected an appeal from the foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, that would have protected outstanding students in some of the world's most dangerous countries from changes to the UK's immigration system, the Guardian understands.
That Starmer keeps Mahmood in post shows this is not just the actions of an inhumane Home Secretary, but a deeper rooted ideology of hostility and xenophobia within this government. No-one benefits from blocking Chevening scholars. This is cruelty for sake of it.
