And they're playing Catatonia in Cardiff. Well played Wales (could we start a bit earlier next year, please?)

Way-hey. Just seen my old cookery teacher's husband on the telly. No wonder Wales are playing well :-D

Just finished Bede's Ecclesiastical History. Now for some Patricia Cornwell

The staff of @pizzaexpressuk.bsky.social Ely are probably the friendliest staff in the area. Food very good too. Happy diner.

I do like the older bits of Ely that you come across accidentally

Shopping for a friend's birthday in Ely, was rather disconcerted to find that the shops I'd intended to visit had virtually all closed down. The upside of this was that I accidentally found really nice presents with an unexpected theme.

Razzie Awards 2026: War of the Worlds and Rebel Wilson receive 'worst film' awards Ice Cube's alien invasion adaptation receives five Razzies, which go to the year's worst movies.

Yes to the artificial 7 dwarves, and yes to Razzie Redeemer Kate Hudson - lovely performance in Song Sung Blue

So sorry to hear of Jane's death. I know she had been unwell for a while. First remember her, when I was a child, in the wonderful series about the life of Marie Curie.

Watching Scarpetta with Nicole Kidman (who's very good) suddenly thought, to my surprise, Scarpetta doesn't look like that. Realised that I'd always imagined her as looking like her author, Patricia Cornwell.

And this is when you find that the person / place you are particularly interested in, has not been deemed important enough for the index. Infuriating.

Oh no, isn't that typical? And they probably thought it was a safe place to keep it :-(

Had never heard what had happened to it. How sad. Thank goodness there was a cast made.

After the problems with trying to access an appointment at the GP, my old doctor, who is now semi-retired, rang me this morning, and was absolutely brilliant. Have got a plan now for improved bone health. Hoorah!

Oh, I love that

My GP has a new online appointments system. You can book an appointment and leave enquiries. Great!

Followers will not be surprised to learn that it doesn't work.

You can ring Reception, but they can't see the booking system. What a mess.

That's what was really unclear about it. Doesn't help that the GP is not helpful at the best of times :-(

Had to have a bone density scan a few weeks back to do with the breast cancer treatment. Got a letter today to say that the osteoporosis is at an expected level for my age. Sounds good, but...I didn't know I had osteoporosis until now...

Whitby was originally named Streanaeshalch which means The bay of the beacon. Can just imagine a light shining out across that coastline. Thoroughly enjoying Bede's Ecclesiastical history, which sounds dry, but is anything but.

Fire causes major disruption at Glasgow Central Station Train passengers are facing major disruption after a fire broke out at a vape shop in central Glasgow.

This is nutty. Two petrol stations opposite sides of the road, both owned by the same oil company...and a 10 pence difference in diesel prices. Crumbs!

Read round the world challenge. Sweden Location - The root of evil / Hakan Nesser. I do enjoy the Inspector Barbarotti mysteries.

So sorry to hear that. Have just finished treatment myself, and will be thinking of you

This is me too!

When you need to practice but you have a dog YouTube video by West Australian Symphony Orchestra

This made me chuckle. That dog definitely merits an orchestra seat (though not quite sure which section!) youtube.com/shorts/oG0zK...

Think it's a fascinating line-up. They'll all bring something different to the role, and liking Sam Ryder as JC. He's already got the look!

Really liking the line up on this. Interested to see Julian Clary's King Herod! Think SRB will be good

That looks slightly sinister!

Fun evening of Berlin cabaret with Ute Lemper. Oh, those cabaret composers were good. Love Kurt Weill, and it was very touching to hear some Viktor Ullmann. Good to catch up with @ethelcrimble.bsky.social too
