Should we just give up now it’s winter?
Modern life isn’t very indulgent of just going back to bed. But there’s nothing wrong with doing it from time to time

A newish (and chilling) feature of British politics has been Starmer/Reeves increasingly pitching themselves as a quasi technocratic govt, saying bond markets will accept no other. If that’s the strategy, my impression is that Labour MPs do not want to hear it.

A factor relevant in my experience where a major flaw exists in accountability is losing local journalists covering coroner court inquests. The demise of well-funded local newspapers clouds the knowledge of coroner court findings. #CoronerCourts preventabledeaths.substack.com/p/preventing...

It's 100 years of the #Photobooth. A family favorite when growing up. A set of booths at Poole Bus Station had many a visit.

OTD 1966. The start of second season of the BBC SF anthology series ‘Out of the Unknown’.

Great to be working with documentary/filmmaker Damien Stone on looking back at the Wimborne early eighties band 'The Void'. The band had several lineups. I played bass in its first formation. The Void, the story, and the myth. 😊 #Wimborne #TheVoid #TheVoidDocumentary #wimborneminster

This now open space along Priors Walk, Wimborne, is now the site of the Covid Memorial in town. This was once the location of the home of Francis and Ruby Wheeler, my grandparents. The now-wooden-panel garden fence replaced the corrugated iron. #wimborne #priorswalk

My grandmother Ruby Wheeler had a certain look. Shades of. “Hey, Johnny, what are you rebelling against?” “What've you got?” #wimborne #rebel

If you're in the Burton Library @uoylibrary.bsky.social, don't miss our new student-curated archives exhibition! The cases include copies of items from the Rowntree & Co archive curated by our Archives Insight Week students back in June. We had so much fun working with them on this project!

Off to see Jaws at the Odeon tonight. I was taken back when researching the release of Jaws in Bournemouth to see on the 29th of August 1976 it was still playing at the ABC on Westover Road. Wrote about it. #jaws #jaws50 #bournemouth open.substack.com/.../jaws-bou....
