For many years my dad was a regular reader of the Guardian, so I'm very pleased that they were able to share his obituary. ❤️ theguardian.com/education/2024…

What gorgeous weather we're having! 🌞 Here's hoping it lasts at least two more days! Have a lovely weekend! @FruitMarketHull #Hull #EastYorkshire

Earlier this month I was interviewed by @UniOfHull about their Career e-Mentoring Programme. Thanks to David Simpson, Matt Beecroft and Jill Smithson for the opportunity, and of course Sam Cawley and the team at @Blink_Video for capturing everything. 📸 🎬

11. This is what approaching the Statue of Unity in India looks like. It's the tallest statue in the world: standing at 182 meters (597 ft) tall, it's nearly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty.

I'm reposting this cartoon and deleting the previous version, because the hashtag I used was attracting a swarm of AI spam and bots.

Yesterday I received an unexpected but very welcome email from the Guardian. My dad's obituary, which was published online in March, is in today's printed edition (page 11 of the Journal section). It's amazing to know that so many more people will get to read about his life. ❤️

Only one building in London is allowed to have a thatched roof — the Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare acted and plays like Hamlet were first performed. But this isn't the original Globe Theatre; that burned down 400 years ago. This one is less than 30 years old...

I'd like to once again thank everyone who donated in memory of my dad, Ian Sutherland. The final amount comes to £587.83 plus £133.04 in Gift Aid, which makes £720.87 in total for @RSPCAHull. ❤️ rspcahull.org.uk

150 years ago today, at precisely 8pm, the world of art changed forever. What happened? A small, independent art exhibition opened in Paris. It was a financial failure and barely 3,000 people went — but, in time, these artists would come to be known as "the Impressionists"...

It sounds oddly specific, but 19th century drain pipes were quite something...
