Sad about this… it has become increasingly difficult to find regular high street shops selling #dark #chocolate full-stop, no matter at what price. (I love dark chocolate, and haven’t truly enjoyed milk chocolate in U.K. since I was a student) - hoping the dark #toblerone still exists in Europe!

Lovely poem…. Loved the ending, especially. And what a beautiful place to read it out… coastlines are my favourite places…

Spent a lovely day in Liverpool yesterday, blue skies and no clouds…. And the fantastic Museum of the World was crackin’ good also. Was happily surprised to see #DalisaChaponda on screen presenting the topic of “Are Museums A Laughing Matter?”, amongst other fantastic exhibition rooms.

Been listening to a fab podcast from #DoubleTap (where blind people talk tech) with comedian #ChrisMcCausland today: youtu.be/ogn8otlpLH0 - really interesting hearing from their perspectives & how blindness is or is not represented in media… & much laughter! Hope to get time for more of their vlogs.

Went to a great #lecture at child’s school this evening, on how #supermassive #blackHoles form… very interesting stuff! @drbecky.bsky.social did a great talk, #scienceCommunicator, the kids seemed to take it all in, suspecting many questions will emerge overnight for tomorrow’s teachers!

Delighted to hear how truly #ChrisMcCausland enjoyed learning & performing the #foxtrot on his second #StrictlyComeDancing show back in Oct2024, and how #DianneBuswell taught him to deal with their first bum-spin… #notEasy #WinningIsntEverything is a great podcast for all these backstage elements…

Oh my word!! Episode 10 of podcast “Winning Isn’t Everything” was just fabulous with the #StrictlyComeDancing 2024 winners #ChrisMcCausland & #DianneBuswell chatting away… so much laughter from this, as well as an excellent new production of @beckyjerams.bsky.social song “Anything Is Possible”.

Bea Arthur died in 2009, fifteen years ago. Records wiped sounds like the old question about “who (gets to) write history?” Which really distorts the true history in many cases. And reminds me of other places in the world who try the same trick. Glad for historians doing their work in discovering…

Woken up at 4am today, so will be a fun day at work… however, also finding weekly podcast #WinningIsntEverything from #ChrisMcCausland and #DianneBuswell has downloaded Ep9 already to my player app makes up for that. Always a great listen.

Frightening to hear this… recall VoA (VoiceOfAmerica) radio when I was a student overseas, much like the BBC World Service, a vital source of home news when not in a country with comprehensive news services.

Dance the Ska! The ska dance became part of a gov’t campaign for Jamaican tourism. I tell the story in my book Operation Jump Up available at skabook.com. Learn these moves from Red Stripe advertising I found researching in 2014. The ads ran in the Jamaica Gleaner in 1964. #ska #jamaica #dance

#FiveStar singer #StedmanPearson dies aged 60… #RIP The news reminds me strongly of what a fantastic music act he was a big part of, with his siblings. I saw them in concert in the mid-80s at #PrestonGuildhall, and it was a fantastically upbeat and lively night of pop music…

NEW: Keir Starmer says the government will be abolishing NHS England and NHS will be brought back under direct political control. Big moment. In effect a dramatic and large scale NHS reorganisation.
