I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Also … had some record decks in the post today for my dolls house, my best friend messaged me to say it reminded her of my old house in Devon … & it really is similar. Decks on the dining table & a beer on the mantle piece was my general set up 😆

Last night supper was by no means healthy , but I found the source of the funk in the fridge. I’d kept this wrapped since a month before Christmas maybe.. an ale washed cheese with an almost now sour rind. There were a couple of rashers & some spuds to use up so I did what I could with it all 🤣
