Timothy Spall looks well.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

The schedulers have done it again!!! City away near DrK’s birthday and home close to our 24th wedding anniversary 🙄 Bastards.

20mph speed limits have shown to massively reduce injuries and deaths. So isn't it time we rolled out sharply lowered speed limits and ULEZ in all urban areas? We need to stop putting the car first, they've taken up too much infrastructure space already and keep wanting more.

✨👏🏾STANDING OVATION👏🏾✨

This is incredible

The people sharing that meme on FB about drinking front the hosepipe and playing out until your mum called you in for tea are the same ones moaning about not being able to drive their cars down every fucking street they like and why are so many kids getting in my way!!!! #Boomers #PlayStreets

Dreamt about a ‘working from home’ box last night. Just a massive cardboard box that you can sit in while #WFH

Last night, I learned a life lesson from a one eyed cat. Sara and myself were eating in a Greek restaurant in St Julian’s (context: we’re on holiday in Malta). A street cat came by the table looking for scraps, as they tend to do. So I dropped a piece of chicken and it tucked in….

I keep this image on my phone for whenever I am abroad and someone asks what it's like living in the UK

Zongoloni, once a vulnerable orphaned calf, has embraced motherhood with the same grace and strength that defined her reintegration journey. Her tiny baby, Zigi, the youngest addition to our fast growing Umani Springs herd — is already showing signs of a spirited personality!

The funeral was as grim as I expected. Heartbreaking to see an elderly lady lay her son to rest. I dropped husband, sons and speaker at the pub, stayed for hugs and a glass of fizzy water and came home. Having a little private cry and a glass of wine now. Sweet dreams Linny, we’ll miss you.
