You know what? I'd move to the Orkneys just for the library. Never mind the weather, the wildlife, and the accents. My grandparents were Scottish, but not from the Orkneys. Yeah.

Turquoise fingerless mittens.

Turquoise fingerless mittens.

Fingerless mittens I knitted for my daughter, after she lost one of the pair I made for her years ago. They're not as fancy as the originals but I'm getting back into crafting gently. . . The yarn is WYS baby yarn 🧢 #knitting #crafting

We need as many people as possible to agree with putting in place more ways to increase funding rather than making cuts and essentially punishing those who are already suffering. Tax the Rich – Wealth Tax Now www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

In the United States a scientist is blinded

By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded

That Dr Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell

At the first hurdle

Am I the only person who regularly gets spam mail in German? Why? it's such a giveaway! I do have my suspicions as to where my email address was leaked from, but am reluctant to point a finger . . . #spam

Left: Kwasi-I-crashed-the-economy-Kwarteng criticising Labour for paying Hadush Kebatu Β£500 to leave

Right: That time Kwasi Kwarteng's government was paying Β£3,000 to volunteers to go to Rwanda

Whatever you think of Labour's policies, know that the Conservatives were so much worse

I'm not sure, but it looks like the king has done it to prevent Parliament having to instigate it. I don't know if it has to be ratified by Parliament though. It's all very archaic and a big old nonsense. Monarchy is just ridiculous in this day and age. 🀬

Anything to protect the monarchy. Though I do think Mr Windsor needed to be thrown under the bus, to be honest. Bet he's absolutely fuming. Boo effing hoo.
