A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

Lithuanian president & people paid their respects to 4 American servicemen who died during training exercise.

When the soldier’s remains arrived at Dover Air force Base, no US president was there to honor them on behalf of a grateful nation.

Milan to Paris, high-speed, 1st class, peak morning, for less than £50. No, they don't have a privatized rail network like ours, what made you ask?
Good morning! Milan to London by train, in a day: First up, the 06:25 Frecciarossa from Milan to Paris, due to arrive 13:22. In business (1st) class, which cost me all of €49. Details at www.seat61.com/Italy.htm#lo...

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Rediscover Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ (1973) | Tribute
An enormous aesthetic and technological achievement, the legend of Pink Floyd’s universally revered eighth studio album is arguably a detriment to getting to its core.

#Shernborne Village Hall, #Norfolk

An #ArtsandCrafts style chalet, which was moved from a former location stone by stone.

Originally built in 1908 as Queen Alexandra’s Bungalow at Shepherd’s Port, #Snettisham.

Demolished in 1925 & materials used to build village hall.

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect
Him to be strong.

Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
