I've lived in the Fens before, so I know what to expect. Interestingly, the locals say that the hospitals in Ely and Newmarket have recently been upgraded and are now very good.

Soham, 4 miles from my son in Ely. Two-bed apartment in an 85-unit Sanctuary complex, shared ownership. Privacy but support on site.

Specialist hospital care here is poor. I needed an air ambulance to Liverpool after a month in hospital. All sorts of problems for my wife. We need family support, hence move to sheltered accomodation near our son. Sorry to hear about fracture.

Waves back. Forsworn social media apart from one weak moment in hospital. Moving back to England, with considerable regret, for health reasons. How are you?

Is he always this dirty now?

Been away from social media for many weeks, and this is what I come back to.

Back. Eventually.

On my way!

Going across Thursday now - staying in Noble's till then.

Driven back to social media by hospital ennui. So sorry to hear about this.

Only just noticed this. Many thanks.

Blaskets still much on my mind. In obscure ways related to Georgia and faith. Do you have a title for the Heaney poem?

I fell down the Blasket rabbit-hole while exploring a thread about the languages and alphabets of Georgia!

Excellent video with many of the people mentioned in the book: youtu.be/jXi2825IHQQ?...

As a dark-skinned man with a Muslim first name who lives in Germany I am taking this as a personal attack. Which is exactly what these racist monsters intend. This speech is designed to escalate mob violence against us. Nothing less. To everyone who said we were exaggerating, shame on you.

Not at 80 I don't.

Misread this as 'I cycle'.

A favorite?

Never saw a sky like this in Paris: quite often from my bedroom window though. Still not convinced this isn't painted by Marc.

Absolute monarchy making a comeback.

You sure about the medieval times?

@marcgooderham.bsky.social Thought for about 10 seconds this was yours.

Never. The ethos of accuracy and impartiality has gone, and it won't come back.

The exponential decline of BBC is such a depressing spectacle. It needs a clear out of senior management - and the likes of Mason and Kuenssberg.

Has anyone been held accountable yet?

Trump: "2+2 = 5"
US media: "country adjusts to the new reality"
BBC: "Trump strikes note of optimism"

They will normalise whatever he says and does. Just as our media will do. As, I presume, the German press did for Hitler.

Oddly fascinated by the BBC's ability to use accurate language in headlines about Germany, but not the US.

So now we know what the BBC reporting strategy on Trump will be for the next 4 years:

“President Trump said

[insert latest outrageous /ludicrous/insulting/inflammatory statement]

without evidence”

No challenge.
