another of those annoying " where am I?" questions that you tweeps ( not xeeps) always get right

Less than 3 weeks left to see this small but perfect show @britishmuseum bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2023/05/whethe…

@RoyalOperaHouse are you running your regular tour on 6 May or cancelling it for the coronation? I have foreign visitors coming who are more interested in you than royal processions!

What a delightful surprise! Best architectural tourism in ages as I discover a #FrankLloydWright gem on a stopover in Springfield, Illinois. The Dana Thomas house is worth going out of your way for. My report here: bit.ly/3f8cAhe @cityofspfld @theFLWblog

@BBCr4today hair challenge bigger than race. I’m a white woman. At 40, my boss told me my curly hair was unprofessional and wanted me to straighten it. At 50, when job hunting, head hunter advised I needed to dye my hair because natural grey = age and nobody wants an old marketer

My reflections on the loss of our beloved queen, and why her American-born subjects find the institution of #monarchy quite so magical. bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-qu… #queenelizabeth

Just back from a magnificent foodie holiday in Dublin where @theoldspotdub topped the list of dining experiences. It's the gastropub I want in my village! Full story on my blog: bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2022/09/dublin…

@larry_irving @ahw1182 @NUFBFamily @NUAlumni Thanks Larry. So great to finally meet you in person. Hope to see you in London.

@ahw1182 @NUFBFamily @Bencardsbites @NUAlumni Best article about the weekend I’ve yet read ;-) Thanks @Bencardsbites! Thanks @ahw1182

A lovely little write up on the @NUFBFamily game in Dublin from the perspective of an alumna in London. Special mention of @larry_irving Thanks, @Bencardsbites. I love it! bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2022/08/so-muc… #cats2ireland @NUAlumni

@cfbireland @NorthwesternU Thanks for a wonderful weekend! Trying to talk my sister and brother-in-law into next year's Notre Dame match up so I can do it again!

It's always great to hear of your game experiences, who better to hear from than an alumna of @NorthwesternU. Hear from @Bencardsbites👇

Best restaurant on my recent foodie tour of #Dublin was clearly @osterialucio Thanks @ChefRossLewis can't wait to come back. To find out why, see full review on my blog #BencardsBites bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2022/09/dublin…

You know you've made a mistake when you spend half an hour looking for contact details on a web site and can't find any. I fear I'm about to lose a lot of money with esky.co.uk Flight cancelled by airline but eSky still shows it flying and I can't find help. Avoid!

Had the most amazing time at the Chalke Valley History Fest. Already in the diary for next year. Write up on my blog: bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2022/06/chalke… #CVHF #AmazingHistory @CVHISTORYFEST

@BBCTheOneShow @joe_crowley @BBCiPlayer Fun introduction to what is a massive topic. Yes, people working in this area are digging into all the issues brought up in this thread. For a bit more watch this: youtube.com/watch?v=LbBoE1…

Welcome to the Metaverse. @joe_crowley takes a look at a bit of technological magic that could transform the way we live our lives. Stream #TheOneShow on @BBCiPlayer 👉 bbc.in/392D4h8

Just the tip of the #metaverse iceberg, but a fun bit of coverage that shows the @AccentureUK offices ... both physical and virtual.

Why is the British #monarchy great value for money? My coverage of the #Jubilee captures the mood in the English countryside and argues that a non-political head of state is a blessing. bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2022/06/jubile… #RoyalFamily #Royals #platiniumjubilee

I love my #Nespresso every morning but giving it up is a small sacrifice compared to what the Ukrainians are suffering. Join me in voting with your money? #shameonnestle #BoycottNestle #BoycottNestlé

@SueNBCBoston @IMDb It’s a William Morris pattern called Chrysanthemum. Huge in the late 19th c, still in print from Sanderson.

Is there an @IMDb listing for this wallpaper? #GildedAgeHBO “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” “The Sixth Sense”

@British_Airways what’s the official scoop on NHS covid recovery passes? I hear you can test positive up to 90 days after having C-19, even if recovered and healthy. Will a valid pass get me on the plane if my PCR is +?

Could we please re-do that interview with @maitlis asking the questions?
