Five years ago #OTD #onthisday @nytimes.com published this correction.

Yo-Yo Ma: “In order to have a career, you have to make sure that somebody remembers your name - as opposed to “Oh, that Asian guy who does the violin-type instrument.’” In New York Times Magazine, the legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma talks about music, politics and avoiding burnout.
New York Times: “Correction: We deleted an incorrect tweet that misidentified Yo-Yo Ma as a violinist. He is a cellist.”

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

Op Hoop van Zegen (The Good Hope), filmed my great-grandmother’s house.

A poor fisherwoman, Kniertje, is forced by poverty to send her last two sons to sea on a boat known to be unseaworthy. The ship sinks and the owner profits from the insurance money.

My parents usually organised for a separate table in restaurants for my brother and me, and told staff to bring us whatever food we wanted.

What did you think was EXTREMELY fancy when you were a little kid?

Let us pray for Trump. Psalm 109:8-13.

8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.

My grandparents had a staircase like this. Fairly typical at the time. Even as a child, I could only use them sideways.

So you can be the president
(Kick it)
I'd rather be the Pope
(I wanna be, so happy)
You can be the side effect
I'd rather be the dope (You, you, you)
(You can be the dope)
The Pope
You can be the President
Rather be the Pope
Baby, so help me please
Press save, I love you peace
(You don't understand)

The Pope using a microphone. Lyrics by Prince.

Nunney Castle, near Frome in East Somerset, was built around 1373. The moated castle is privately owned by an heir of the Johnny Walker brand, but maintained by English Heritage. Just off the A361, even many locals don’t know it’s there. #SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack

He is giving a bit of balance to the gushing other judges, but it’s all a bit panto.

Although for Craig no star will ever eclipse
Dame Shirley Bassey.
"Oh I love her," he says. "One night she came on to Strictly Come Dancing. I'll never forget her, it was brilliant, she literally waltzed on, came up the stairs,
belted out the tune, walked down the stairs, got in the taxi and went home.
"I mean Bette Midler took four hours over a sound check and we had to do it five times.
Dame Shirley is my diva."

After thinking long and hard about doing a Ralph Lauren themed Christmas tree this year (THE trend for 2025, according to Country Life), I have decided to go for a mulled wine and gingerbread theme. Hopefully, the dogs won’t go for the gingerbread decorations. 🎄

Christmas tree in red and gold ribbon with gingerbread ornaments.

We have a viewing today for the cottage I am selling near Frome in Somerset. It should be a sunny day, so the estate agent will retake all photos. Good good.

Thatched cottage next to a medieval castle.

It’s six years ago #onthisday #OTD that the Queen turned up unannounced to present Sir David Attenborough and the BBC Natural History Unit with the Chatham House Prize. The audience gasped. Sir David smiled.
