Global Wave of Light is an annual observance. Across the world, at 7pm local time, we may choose to light candles to commemorate the lives of our children whom we did not meet or spent too little time with.

We'll be in our Community space to hold a welcome for those who need it.

Can't install my heating without my own electricity supply apparently.

Picture of a Electric Meter showing 2 cables exiting it. 2 cables because this meter is supplying leccy to its neighbour

So the UK needs to step up on climate infrastructure to be able to meet a 2C target. With millions of homes on looped supplies, supplying mains leccy to their neighbours UK housing has a mountain of work ahead. I've been trying to get a heat pump installed since August, still waiting to be unlooped.

Agreed. I would consider myself British not English anyway.

If only Sarcasm could cool the planet. We Brits would have this whole issue reversed by tea time.

Another FOUR STAR review for my new Tour!!

Come see it or your a muppet.

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Alex celebrating the extension of bereavement leave to those who suffer pre-24 week pregnancy loss.

Earlier this year, the Women and Equalities Committee called on the Government to extend the right to bereavement leave to those who experience pre-24 week pregnancy loss.

Now, the upcoming Employment Rights Bill will realise this change, making crucial respite available when it's needed most.

Hey friends! We're almost through another week.

Have you had enough water today? Fruits and veggies? Did you get a moment to relax and just... be?

Take a moment to take care of yourself before you hit the hay. We'll be doing the same.

It would be absolutely hilarious if they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Joe Biden just for shits & giggles. Come on Nobel committee do it. Can you imagine how badly Trump would take it?
He’d probably threaten to bomb Norway over it. 😂😎

Donald Trump hates to be reminded that Barack Obama won a Noble Peace Prize, something he desperately wants to emulate. Unfortunately, he most likely won't receive the award this year. In honor of his disappointment, please don't repost this. He thanks you for your cooperation!😉

A Magnolia Warbler, probably a female, in a tree near the U.S. Capitol.

Looking for some good news from Washington DC?

The parks between the Capitol and Union Station are teeming with warblers right now. In a brief period this morning, I saw Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, Black and White, Magnolia, and only my second Palm ever.

The NHS websites are good.

I'm trying to persuade my Polish sister in law, and my Romanian work colleague to take citizenship too. I'm worried Reform will go full authoritarian Trump if they are elected.

So Russia are telling us in advance they are going to attack a civilian ship in a NATO country, and try to convince us it was a UK set up. It won't work. The UK people remember Salisbury and Russia claiming the accused lads were visiting the cathedral. Putin is a liar.

It's this mixing that makes such communications really dangerous, in my view. People think "if this is real, that must be as well."
Small farm campaigners: please keep your guard up, and don't let your movements get captured by conspiracism and far-right ideology.

So tired today, I think I'd rather go hungry than cook.

Have been trying to get to the point where I can book the installation of ASHP since Mid August. Still dont have a date from Northern Energy as to when they will be decoupling my electric supply from my neighbours. Cant go ahead until this is done. At this rate I'll not be done by Xmas. So. Slow.

Train to be a CEO instead, thats where the money is.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1659 of Private Eye magazine with the caption “on shelves now.” The front cover headline reads “Labour’s Identity Crisis” and shows Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham talking. Burnham says, “I would like to lead the Labour Party,” to which Starmer replies, “So would I.”
