Happy New Sharon Van Etten Album Day to all who celebrate

If you haven't seen it, the follow up documentary about Delia Balmer is well worth watching - she's an amazing woman

Interesting. I'd say this has been brewing for a very long time.

A girl labelled as middle aged middle class women smiles as in the background an inferno, labelled Gregg Wallace, blazes

Seriously Gregg Wallace, you want to start a war with middle aged middle class women?

I wish you well..... 💥

This has 'Netflix documentary' written all over it...

* former housing manager in recovery here. I could go on. And on. And on ......

See also lockable medicine cabinets in bathrooms but no mirror, towel rail or hook for your dressing gown behind the door. And paving slab path across lawn to rotary drier space (but no rotary drier provided)* 🤦🏻‍♀️

It might be on Channel 4 on demand? Well worth catching up if you can track it down!

Thanks - that's my listening in the office tomorrow sorted!

Here's one I can't get enough of right now 👑

The #paralympics opening ceremony is such a vibe - visually and musically a stunner. Bravo! ❤️ #paris2024

A 30 year old silver charm of the Virgin Mary

8.
However, when a nun who HAD A DREAM gives you a charm you cannot EVER throw it away because it's is absolutely definitely 100% cursed or blessed or something.

And so it is still in my jewellery box, still looking absolutely brand new and untarnished almost 30 years later...... 🩶😳

7.
And then that's it. Long story short, she doesn't get the house.

I think they let a business use it for some years, and now apparently it's being done up to be used as a holiday let.

6.
The nun goes in every room of the house and prays. She leaves a small silver charm in each room to leave her mark so that she might return. Some are under wooden panels, down the side of window frames or inside fireplaces.
She gives me a charm too, in hope I will help her get the house.

5.
And so I, the trainee, am sent to meet a nun WHO HAD A DREAM and show that nun around the most sinister house imaginable. No power, musty, cold and very, very dark. Every floorboard and door creaks like a horror movie cliche.

The nun loves the house. IT IS JUST LIKE IT WAS IN HER DREAM.... 💀

4.
Then out of the blue, a nun contacts the council.

She says she experienced a dream in which she lived in this house.

A NUN HAD A DREAM 😳

3.
There are loads of people waiting for houses, but this one - no functioning kitchen, bare wooden floors, original 16th century winding stairs, no ceiling lights or heating - is unlikely to be what they need. The council must think carefully about who could take care of a unique place like this.

2.
It's been occupied for years by someone who has taken the role of guardian, keeping safe a building of national historic significance. However the house becomes empty.

No-one is sure what to do with a house like this.

The 16th century half timbered house known as The Wonky House

Creepy storytime.....

It's the mid-1990s and I'm a trainee working at the Council. This house, known as 'The Wonky House', is said by my colleagues to be England's oldest council house. 🧵

The first LP you bought with your own money.

Paris 2024: Could you lift like Olympian Emily Campbell? BBC Sport challenges regular gym goers to lift as much as Team GB Olympic weightlifter Emily Campbell.

Go go goooo Emily!

Backing Nottinghams own Emily Campbell for gold this morning 🥇

And no obvious advertising in the stadium at all!

Although I was there this week and Coca Cola have a stranglehold on all refreshments, and Visa have an exclusive deal as the only payment method in any venue🤷‍♀️

The back of a Man City shirt showing the terrible handwriting style font

All I could think during the Man City match was who on earth chose that terrible font 😔

Second memory is of a true story TV movie of a woman being brutally attacked by a stalker 😭

It's this 👇 Victims For Victims: The Theresa Saldana Story (1984)
#filmsky

Watched this when I was about 12 and I've never forgotten it. RIP Theresa Saldana, your story stayed with me💐

Poster and info for the 1974 TV sci-fi movie Where Have All The People Gone

Scene from Where Have All The People Gone where the mum is just an outline of dust lying on a bed

Tracked down 2 movie scenes that have *haunted* me since I was a small child 🎬
#filmsky

First memory/nightmare is of a family travelling across USA to find their mum - who is just a mum-shaped outline of dust inside a dressing gown 😱

It's this scene in Where Have All The People Gone (1974) 😭

Love the OU mace - it looks like a sci-fi movie weapon!

Elon Musk shares fake news claiming UK rioters will be sent to ‘detainment camps’ The X owner pushed a made-up headline from a far-right British party on his platform, before deleting it.

The space idiot has taken it up a notch in the last few days, baiting the PM, saying UK is heading into 'inevitable civil war' and sharing fake headlines from a far right group to further whip up far right rioters. He's crossed every line that remained.

He cares about aged donkeys?! He's a MONSTER!

A snip from my family Google calendar scheduling everyone in the household to convene on the sofa to watch Trump get roasted by Harris.

Excellent. Added to our shared family calendar 📆
