OAP. Not a musician. Enjoy music, CBSO/HALLE, plus eclectic tastes. RT's not endorsements! Typos normal :-) Living in N. Shropshire UK.
@carlyja22.bsky.social Trump falls asleep again during a meeting on live television. If Joe Biden had done this, the media would’ve turned it into a week-long crisis. But with this clown, they shrug because he gives them the clicks that fatten their wallets. Total failures.

This meme, Carly. Isn't it the lyrics of a Beatles song?

Hi, Carly. We use a gas boiler which heats water which is then pumped to convector radiators in each room. We use electricity for appliances not heating. Radiator type below. 😊

Very apt, John. My late father was in the RAF in WW2 mainly in N. Africa with 8th Army RAF photo reconnaissance unit with their lovely all blue Spitfires!

At least we don't have the gun problems that plagues the USA, Carly! The train conductor, who was seriously injured saving lives, is still critical but now stable which is great news! The train driver is ex armed forces & was pictured a few days earlier at a Remembrance Day ceremony. 👇

@carlyja22.bsky.social A couple of nice local photos of the Remembrance Day preparations.
The main London ceremony is on Sunday 9th November at The Cenotaph. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembr...

In '70's when in the London police we had a superb local Italian ice cream parlour & coffee house who served LAVAZZA coffee. They also made, on Italian machines, a huge range of gelati & cassatas. The range of flavours & was extensive & very delicious. 😋☕🇮🇹🍨😂

Central Birmingham 🇬🇧 Pumpkins!. Have you spotted our Halloween pumpkins keeping watch over Centenary Way? 👀
They’re on guard… but they love a good spooky selfie (or two).
Snap a pic if you dare, and share your frightfully fun photos with us!

It's the UK groups cover version I know by Manfred Mann from 1964.

I'm sure that includes you, Carly. 😍 Funnily enough my wife & I recently received a get well note from the City Of Birmingham Orchestra, who we support, after missing a concert due to severe colds. Included in them were 2 badges saying "You are wonderful". We are still blushing! 😍😊🎶

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was kneeling to pray at a protest.
RETWEET if you stand with Reverend Black against the Trump Administration!

Exciting afternoon as earlier a Chinook helicopter flew past the house opposite very low indeed. Wish I'd had a camera ready as it would have made a great photo with the clear blue sky behind it! We have an RAF helicopter training base 8 miles away but don't often get Chinooks especially that low!

SELNEC colours but later liveries contained more orange than white, Larry.

You are probably too young to remember when all buses were operated by Manchester Corporation Larry, in a standard livery,
including the remaining trolley bus fleet. Liverpool, Chester & other cities had the same schemes. Liverpool were dark green & Chester maroon & cream.

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

Vaccines are one of the great public health success stories.
They’ve saved millions of lives around the world.
We cannot allow conspiracy theorists to undermine proven science.
