Neotist, community connector, Mayoress of St Neots and still Low Sheriff of Huntingdonshire. Should be ashamed of my behaviour.
In a pub in London - do you recognise it from this poorly shot photo of the ornate mirrors and decorative ceiling?
There were guys sitting there enjoying their drinks so I said I wouldn’t include them. They wanted to be included and one guy took his hat off for it. Er, I still didn’t include them.

I like to take a walk on the new estate. It’s very flat round here so they even built a little hill and put some benches there to take in the view.
The view.

For any parents / carers who might have missed this - here’s a thread of videos of TOYS you can make using scrap materials you probably have lying around your home. Perfect indoor activities for a rainy day like today
Fellow parents! Carers! Anyone looking after children over half-term! Here is a thread of videos showing TOYS you can MAKE at home from scrap stuff you probably have lying around. First, the utterly delightful "balancing bird" alomshaha.com/balancing-bi...

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.

It really shouldn’t take over four minutes to cross a whole junction!
How long should it take to cross a junction?
In suburban London it can take a while, like crossing the junction of Christchurch Road and Merantum Way to walk between two neighbouring shopping centres. Is it acceptable to let pedestrians wait this long?

Not much of a lesson from my personal experience, other than: it's okay to say no to potentially sketchy things. I've said no to a few of them; some probably harmless, some doubtless bad. Your integrity as a person isn't worth a few bucks or a few connections.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
