@ChoirOfTheEarth @JoForbesLE @marmaladetrust Truly wonderful, love the arrangement &voices. A coincidence, ventured in a world of trees, blue skies, and in river Wandle, shaking hands with 4 friends and experiencing some wondrous moments earlier this week. So, I thought I would share some memories. #WonderfulWorld #nature

@googlearts I once had a random conversation with an old gent, who had lived through 5 monarchs, and he mentioned the best period was 1920s. I would like to travel back to the age of jazz, wear the fashions, etc Another one would have to be to go back to Handel's time, and sing Hallelujah...

@Cartoonmuseumuk the rest in the background, which is similiar to a portrait mode on a camera phone. Also, liked the drawing room, full of mischievous characters from Beano, and an old cartoon strip of Barbie (1967). #OpenHouseFestival

@Cartoonmuseumuk Went in with curiosity on Sunday for Open house festival, and came out chuckling 😁 An interesting talk on the early Viz and comics. James Gillray from 18th century (3rd pic) had the foresight to draw the main person in forefront, then blur #OpenHouseFestival

@mrianleslie @MsRachelCooke standing up to applaud a show, well I beg to differ. When we have done a show, the response has been surprising from the audience, with not one, not 2 or 3 people, but a wave of people. That is music to our ears.

@mrianleslie @MsRachelCooke a modern opera/ musical back in 2014 and some of us went to support some of the workshop leaders at Tete a Tete. The music was rather hard on the ears but the rest of the show was good, so we only clapped and didn't stand up. What Mr Scott has brought up that it can be lonely

@mrianleslie @MsRachelCooke An interesting article- yes and no to standing ovations. If the performance is exceptional and unexpected, then yes, I have cheered and clapped. If the performance is rather lacklustre, I still applaud but don't stand up, which was at a West End play. Another occasion was at a

@BCLocalHistory as far as Gallows bridge of 1820 and noticed the original name was known as Grand Junction canal. So interesting to learn the Grand Union canal joins along river Brent. The wildlife and air quality is great #BrentfordCanal #BankHoliday #nature

@BCLocalHistory Had a most idyllic time on Bank holiday Monday, from a noisy motorway M4 which straddles across Boston Manor & Hounslow, came upon an enchanted part of Brentford canal &woods. Is Braunston on the way to Birmingham? A mighty long way on foot. Only got #Bankholiday

@historyinmemes A brave man indeed. I saw a film Exodus to Shanghai inspired by true events of Dr Ho, which was on Amazon Prime. The film can be seen on fashion tv ftv.com/ho/

This is Ho Feng-Shan, a Chinese diplomat stationed in Vienna during World War II. He defied strict orders to save thousands of Jewish lives by granting them visas. Often called the "Chinese Schindler," his name deserves recognition. While the exact count is uncertain due to lost records, he issued nearly 2,000 visas during his early diplomatic tenure, with some estimates reaching almost 4,000. Xu Xin, a Jewish studies professor at Nanjing University, suggests that Ho may have saved over 5,000 lives, making him one of the first diplomats to take decisive action to protect Jews. Amid rising violence against Jews fueled by Nazi propaganda, Ho met Lilith-Sylvia Doron by chance in 1938. He shielded her family from harm, relying on his diplomatic status. Gerda Gottfried Kraus recounted how her husband sought refuge at the Chinese consulate after Kristallnacht. Unable to enter, he tossed his application into a diplomat's car, which Ho Feng-Shan received, granting them visas. When Nazis seized the embassy, Ho established a new office at his own expense to continue issuing visas. His efforts persisted until May 1940 when he was ordered to return to China. Ho Feng-Shan passed away in 1997 at age 96. In 2000, Israel honored him with the "Righteous Among the Nations" award for his heroic actions during the Holocaust.

@gamechoir Wowsers! The Halo Gregorian chant has such a timeless feel, and perfect to start the day with many benefits: relaxation, gentle exercise, before a big game or concert, good warm up for the voice, and reverberating of sounds together around the world to create positivity. #Halo

@kingscrossN1C A great picture. Hope you have many blue skies too. Seeing it reflected in the canal was lovely. The park area is great with Club Petanque & some groups were playing. Tasty food in Babel beerhouse & taught how to play table football. Scored a 1st goal! #sundayvibes #teamspirit
