I'm extremely proud that I called Jools Holland "A Picture of Dorian Gray Groundhog Nonce" last night.

One of my favourite pics of the year. Kinder Scout plateau, near Pym Chair, around 3pm in December. The light drops, you need to get down from there, and beauty of nature does not care about your daft schedule today.

In June, I decided to go mountain-biking in one of the least suitable MTB locations, Oxford UK. It was beautiful. Up and down the canals, through the shopping centre, and finished beneath a Willow where local students were practicing their String Quartet pieces.

Little Hayfield, in the last yesterday's sun.
Both the nearby Lantern Pike Inn and the newly-managed* George Hotel, Hayfield, strongly recommended.
(*much less uptight and with better food)

Merry Whatever to those that do and all those that don't.

I have huge amounts of sympathy, but this is like asking for an urgent meeting with David Brent and his collection of performing circus snails
Is the government going to sit and watch while the #PalestineAction hunger strikers die? Is most of the media going to carry on ignoring them? Just how callous has the Establishment become?

I've written about #pluribus before, mainly about how a slow-burn series gets you hooked. There's also a pattern here that I noticed from S1E8 ('The Gap') in Gilligan's writing.
It's one principled character, one unprincipled one. Manu, below, vs Carol. Short thread, tiny wee spoilers:

Rule 1: You must be invited by a SMS sent from a 3310.
Rule 2: Classic ringtones only at max volume.
Rule 3: Any club fights must use the 3310 as a weapon.
