The river Thames and the wall on the far bank seen from the terrace of Parliament on a sunny day.
A similar perspective taken earlier this year. The distant wall is now covered with red painted hearts.
Nine years ago today, I was at the House of Lords in support of DementiaUK and took this photograph. I didn't know then how important that wall across the water would become to me. The second photo was taken from the same vantage point earlier this year. β₯οΈ

Four women standing outside the UK covid inquiry holding up signs that read, 'The dead can't hear your apologies.'
I see that disgraced former PM Boris Johnson is giving 'evidence' again at the UK #CovidInquiry next week.
On this #ThrowbackThursday, I'm remembering these heroes who stood up the last time he testified, refusing to accept his attempted apology. β₯οΈ

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Vince's headstone in Highgate Cemetery. There are pink roses in front of it, and a single pink rose lying on top of it. A strong ray of sunlight coming from left of frame illuminates it like a spotlight.
Today was a perfect blue and gold October day, just like 29 years ago.
My boy always did love a spotlight... β₯οΈ
