Ooo it's just like those CareCo adverts on Talking Pictures...ladies in baths that are full of bubbles (or they have a shower wearing a one piece bathing suit)
You never see men on CareCo adverts having a bath. Perhaps @nkdgardener.bsky.social wants to audition??

Enjoy being whisked. Like 🥚🥚🥚
Where to this time?

hope you have a dolly blue in the water

Range Rover cars* come with factory fitted senses of entitlement.
Oh, and it was parked on a pavement less than 5 metres from a junction

Yes! You are one handsome fella.

Public Eye (ATV,22h15) is brilliant. It gets shown now on Talking Pictures TV. Very well written UK equivalent of Philip Marlowe but set not in LA but in Windsor (so less guns and more cream teas). Stars Alfred Burke.

Would "Watercolour Challenge" count?

A year ago saw the first train carrying passengers between Bicester & Milton Keynes. #westcoastrailways operated this and another half a dozen or so since then. @chilternrailway.bsky.social have yet to announce a start date for services despite announcing they were to be the operators last March.

I'm having great difficulty in interpreting that blue colour towards the top of those images...

French version of The Crystal Maze!!!

The house will smell of fried cheese for weeks afterwards!

An absolutely brilliant read. Brought back so many memories.

And also ..just wait until you get to the chapter entitled "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" - that will really mess with your head. And it was written for children!

View of County Arcade, Leeds showing glass roof and high Victorian architecture and design

Because I worked very near here for many years, I fell into the trap of taking this for granted, but now as a visitor this view never fails to lift my heart. County Arcade, Leeds designed by Frank Matcham.

On my way with my lot. 12 jars and counting...

Car park full?
Can't be bothered to drive a short distance to an alternative car park with spaces?
Don't worry!!
Just park on (and, in this wet weather) destroy the grass verge!! It must be what it's there for!

Finished it. What a wonderful, nostalgic read. Thanks @jasoncroot.bsky.social and especially for use of the phrase "Philip Smith's stand pie". I KNOW. My memories are slightly older than you, I left B'fd in 1982, when you mentioned "Rackhams" I mentally substituted "Brown, Muffs".

Definitely worth a read. Thanks @jasoncroot.bsky.social
From an expat Bradfordian (now in York, alas)

Hello. I'm a horse.

Which, until I rode one as part of a set of free experiences thrown in during a beach holiday in Tunisia many years ago, I never knew that I was extremely allergic to. Nearly killed me - a shot of adrenaline saved my life.

Aldi bargain alert... especially for @nkdgardener.bsky.social
Can you have too much cheese? Now 99p for 500g

Thanks. It was only an (uneducated) guess.

It's called snapdragon, and I *think* it's A Christmas Carol.
Getting a small child to play with fire... literally...what could possibly go wrong???
