I'm on my 3rd Pixel, but I would never buy another Samsung - too much bloatware and non-standard interface.

Especially a panel which will now have six people on it!

Oh good. Perhaps I misremembered.

We saw Hansard live. Excellent actors, but not great by NT standards.

Voted this morning. I haven't seen much of the stooges this year but felt I had to go for the NT chosen ones as there were so many candidates.

It is a great book!

Saw these a while back at a great venue - the Union Chapel.

Maybe the driver is trying to stoke hate against cyclists. I recall years ago being taken by a taxi from Waterloo to Kings Cross via Blackfriars Bridge. I'm convinced he took that route so we could get stuck in a queue and listen to him moaning about the lack of cyclists in the cycle lane.

Have you seen his Substack? Barbary Lane Dispatches | Armistead Maupin | Substack share.google/dXk8Ni0ujfu2...

Going to art galleries, and re-reading Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City novels in bed is good for me.

Isn't his surname "Mountbatten-Windsor"?

We watched 'The Librarians' documentary on iPlayer last night. about amazingly brave, principled librarians standing up to the US religious right's banning of books. Really sinister similarities.

Sadly it closed for the winter on 21st Sep. They could have stayed open longer. Hopefully back in April

Great! Husband obviously misinformed about schedule. You should come back in the summer. The Cafe on D'oyly Carte Island is a lovely place for a drink or a light bite. It definitely welcomes dogs. www.doylycarteisland.com/doylys

Other half informs me that it only runs at weekends from October to March.

Dave once took it to get to the Ferry coffee shop, but doesn't know if it takes dogs. The cafe has a review on TripAdvisor that says it's dog friendly. @jonnelledge.bsky.social
