Grumpy grandad! Disability issues. The great outdoors. Surprisingly broad music tastes.
BBC coverage of #Glasto picking up political flak for broadcasting 2 acts. Coverage is fine by me. Dont watch if it annoys you.

ReformUK’s agenda to stop new local gov. officers joining the LG pension scheme, and reducing pay deals to those already in the scheme is despicable.

What a way to get staff on your side.

This for employees, what for clients in soc serv & special ed???

Keir Starmer has lived in North London for 40 years, a multicultural area where migrants are welcome & play important roles in the economy & public services. Yet to Starmer such people are apparently 'strangers'. He didn't think so when he lived on the Archway Rd in the 80s 👇

Anybody know what this beastie is? Scale doesn’t show, but it’s small - less that half an inch. Found today in our garden in centre of Lichfield @lisawilliams30.bsky.social

So, the nightmare scenario! Smoke alarm starts beeping because of low battery. But alarm is on really high ceiling (4M), and I’ve just had hip replacement and can’t climb our tallest stepladder.

Presumably to get what he wants out of his current “peace” mongering, Trump has to turn Russia away from China. But Putin has been cosying up to China recently. That’s yet more negotiating power to Putin. #NotAGoodMove

I can’t remember the BBC launching an in-depth report into Grant Shapps career history when he had at least 3 CV’s. Strange that.

Wot, no Wevver?? BBC goes so overboard on Trump, they miss the weather forecast. You might argue he makes the weather, but nobody knows where the storms will hit.

Empathy fatigue?

So having taken a long look at Farage, Musk has decided he’d prefer someone more like Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson ) to govern OUR country. #StickToTheUS

We’ve been taking variants of this photo for around 25 years. This year we are in Brighton.

Wishing everyone a great 2025!!!

I like it on here, but I miss Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) from the other place. Can’t we persuade him across?

So who knew that you could rise to be the head of an established church, and yet remain a smug, self-satisfied *****.

@sandramaydogs.bsky.social Didn’t know you were on here. I’m now ex-X ! Musk killed it at time of the Presidential elections. Hope all good with you.

A seldom seen view of the Cathedral. I can’t remember it flooding in Beacon Park in the 36 years we’ve lived in Lichfield.

Fancy leaving all this “litter” in a public park. #BeaconPark #Lichfield

Good week! Three days with old (literally) school friends from Aireborough Grammar School (61-68). Marg Roberts, Phil Holmes, Pete Finch, Ruth Sutton, Mike Hall, Riche Houlden. Any others on here (…well I know of at least one)?

Well, the decision has been taken. I’ve joined the rush of new members. Hello. If we talked before, let me know you’re here.
