What a wonderful series Small Prophets has been. Holding my breath as the final episode drew all the threads together in a magical weave. Happy to see "to be continued" on the screen.

Thanks for the helpful hint!

Fabulous show last evening at #HexagonReading
Sides still ache from laughing. Not able to stay to be singed but great to see you in top form.

Simply Pink

Love the one bottom right resolutely refusing to join in

A very happy birthday to you Arthur, and many many more x

So this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper

....everybody On The Beach with their head in the sand

Very dashing especially the moustache.
I'd have liked to have seen more of the horse tho.

That's just as appalling.

What about Maigret?

Splendid frog raincoat with hood and a POCKET!

A very happy 10th birthday to the wonderful Talking Pictures TV. Here's to many many more birthdays.

Indeed. Barnes Wallis was reported to have said that the huge loss of life detracted from the success of the mission. Barnes Wallis was probably talking about RAF losses but there were of course many more on the ground. Glossed over rather in the film.

Desperately awful yet hilariously funny at the same time. Good to have Steve back.

UK care homes face ban on overseas recruitment under migration plans Yvette Cooper to announce proposals to reduce net migration in response to growing pressure from Reform UK

We have a desperate shortage of care workers. This has a catastrophic effect on the NHS too.

Labour’s decision to close the care worker visa scheme for overseas recruitment is appalling, kneejerk politics that - yet again - will penalise the most vulnerable.

What the heck Labour?

How are they going to force reluctant Brits to work in the care sector.

It might help if care work was properly funded and valued.

I'm dreading having to need care.

Exactly

If you scoff and laugh at Health and Safety, think again. Health and Safety saves lives on a daily basis, in and out of the workplace

Grim and simultaneously hilarious. I suspect the voters of Durham will repent at their leisure

What the heck is the matter with voters in Lincolnshire

Yep. Makes me weep Starmer doesn't want to see this coming.

He doesn't get it though does he?

Why the heck does he think we want Labour to emulate Reform. I don't

You'd think wouldn't you. What the heck were they doing on that course in the first place.

Your famous signature dish

One cool cat. Clearly has his eyes on that lightbulb.

Love this one. Also love another film with green in the title starring Alastair Sim ... The Green Man. It doesn't get shown quite so much as other films. Any chance The Green Man will be on our screens soon?

Is he being paid by the breweries?

I'll just remember quietly what my dad and his mates went through in Burma.

Adult Moorhen enjoying a walk on a path by a lake

Another adult Moorhen also enjoying itself by a lake

Ball of fluff ringed in a blue circle, a Moorhen chick out for a stroll with the parents

Surprise close encounter with, what I hope I've identified correctly, as a Moorhen family. Two adults and a small ball of fluff ringed in blue.
Chanced upon them on a path by a lake and they didn't flinch. Lovely moment

Here's a wonderful 🧵 well worth following to the bottom so to speak.

👏👏 👏 to Mary Rose Museum

I did, and wonderful it was. Thoroughly enjoyable time yesterday evening. Everyone was brilliant.
