Well, just resumed posting on here after a long absence. EASY to log back in as opposed to Faceache, which I can't access any more as it refuses to send me a code. Bibi, Zuck, you waste of space .

This is me, re-imagined as a Viking. (Wasting time on Faceache)

I think it captures my inner crone absolutely.

The #NHS has helped me through:
A discectomy
A miscarriage
A birth
Two bouts of breast cancer
A bad fall

It helped OH through:
2 foot infections
Dupyns contraction op

The Conservatives have hindered us and degraded our lives at every stage

I think of ALL the egregious lies told by Boris Johnson and Vote Leave .. this was the worst.
Actually, I think this was the worst lie he ever told

So many voted for Brexit believing it. We are now losing our NHS because of it.

๐Ÿ’™Afternoon BLUESKYERS! (that looks somehow wrong...)๐Ÿ’™

Still on the nursery slopes of this site.

But hey....
Right. Cake? Coffee?

Thank you. When I was studying for my Archaeology subsid, my 'project' was a Ministry of Public Works dig at Housteads. We excavated the Roman Centurion's bathhouse. Mainly in the rain.
Highlights: watching BM staff take a tray of 100s of shards and construct a pot out of them.
Lowlights: tourists

I agree. Trouble is, whenever it involves us, it becomes more that tribalism. See the absence of anti Russia marches, anti Syria marches, anti China marches, anti Iran marches,...and so on and so on. The same atrocities are committed ( I do not support Netanyahu). But the aggressors arent Jewish.

When I see the Auschwitz Museum attacked on X for not 'supporting Palestine' I am appalled.
There is no equivalence here. My grandparents were refused entry to Israel by the British authorities (Paperwork incorrect)They were sent back to Germany, by the British and then deported to Auschwitz.

I'd say at least it isn't us Jews, but unfortunately, it is.

given his mendacity, I expect they will have changed the law so that they don't have to call one for another 5 years. By then there will be nobody eligible to vote except for tORY pARTY MEMBERS.

Received this email today.
We are outliers as we signed up for our Tory MPs weekly boastfest report
This is how pathetic our govt is:
Lies
Ad hominem attacks
Use of Corbyn as fear factor.

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š So, I am currently reading The Mirror and the Light, by Hilary Mantel: third reading and it is still as glorious.
I write Victorian Crime Fiction, and publish as Little G Books.
I get a lot of 'I don't buy books from Amazon' on X
My comment: we are your artisan writers! Please don't ignore us.
