"Eight years on, we've had no prosecutions. And justice can't continue to wait, in my opinion, and if you live in Britain, as we do, this should matter to every single person." Marcio Gomes, who lost his son Logan to the Grenfell fire: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Daughter watched pelota ;on holiday) and football like a player, not a fan. It’s odd for the Wolves fan (as she’s not a supporter) and alien to me (not interested in sport but very partisan in politics, so understand fandom but not sport ball).
A thread about St Anne, whose feast is today. In medieval iconography she's depicted as a revered mother and grandmother, with a special focus on her role in her daughter's education.
Today is the feast of St Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. In medieval art, she is often depicted teaching her little daughter to read. Medieval stained glass from Marsh Baldon, Haddon Hall in Derbyshire, All Souls, Oxford, and Kidlington, Oxfordshire.
Unacceptable to refer to the ‘local indigenous population’ in an item about housing asylum seekers. That term is a right-wing dog whistle - it’s nonsense by any reasonable definition #r4today @BBCr4today
Wolves fan took the teen to a treetop adventure park. Next to them was a family from the US with a brattish male teen. At one point, his sister turned to him and said, ‘You’re the reason people don’t like Americans.’
Why have I only started listening to Datblygu now? Absolutely love the music, although I wish I knew Welsh yo appreciate the lyrics.
Trump has turned the Oval Office into Saddam’s palace if you ordered it on Temu.
This picture from the White House really shows how many gold accents have been added to the Oval Office. This is how it looked last year:
It's the feast of St Swithun, 9th-century Anglo-Saxon bishop of Winchester. Since the Middle Ages, his day has been linked to weather-lore: it's said that in mid-July weather patterns shift, and if it rains on St Swithun's Day it will rain for 40 days. aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2017/07/that-t…
Hotel room stinks of dog. I’m allergic to dogs. Very noisy neighbours outside in a massive family group. Not a great start to my stay in Southwold.
Spent yesterday at another regatta. I don’t recognise the person I’ve become. Ms 14 won one race but had to change boats because the seat got stuck and fell in during her second race.
Can someone tell @InsideJigsaw to stop selling such lovely clothes and jewellery? My wardrobe doesn’t need anything new, but there I go, tempted every time.
My teenage daughter left a sleepover early to go rowing in the rain. How can she be related to me?
My ‘For you’ feed is getting crazier every day. Ultra-conservative Catholic Twitter, antiva**, and rt-wng commentators. So many people I used to follow have left this place.
In a way that isn’t entirely unexpected, the Wolves fan has booked a fortnight’s holiday in a flat above a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Companies like Arconic sold their combustible cladding globally. They need to open their books and let regulators know where it has been installed. 3,800 people lived in the tower which burned in Dubai at the weekend. The next ACM PE disaster will not be in the UK
Teenage daughter has gone on a climbing club trip to the Peak District. Her reaction when she realised it was just her, some instructors and two small boys, one of whom has a harmonica… I cannot stop laughing.
Here are the isolated vocals to the end of God Only Knows. Brian Wilson wrote and produced this at 23 years old
