Not easy for me to reach but the @V_and_A East at Stratford was worth it, a great building with view over the Olympic park with friendly staff. The #MusicIsBlack exhibition was great - more on that later. #V&AEast

@Se_Railway I am afraid I don't give my location as a rule but it was destined for CHX and left before 11am. Thanks anyway. I find because you say close doors early,some drivers think of that as leaving early & closing doors even earlier.
English
@BrainTracer Hi, can you let me know which train you are referring to please? ^KJ
English
I hate this edict that lets @Se_Railway trains leave early. Practically in tears on the platform as I arrived as the train shut its doors and left before the scheduled time. It may be just a minute but after running a mile for something crucial after difficult delays,all is bleak
English
What could possibly be the logic for @Se_Railway to hold what was an on time train @NetworkRailLBG to wait for a late train to eventually arrive on the opposite platform, wait to drop off & pick up passengers & more, go & leave us as 'delayed' when we could have made CHX by now.

@PeterEgan6 Bless you. I know a similar feeling & take leave to mark my father's sudden death on his birthday and death day many years later - still feeling grief but benefiting from his foundation & presence. Thank goodness we have you in this world for your kindness, work & campaigning.

Hi I just want to mark today. It’s 5yrs since I lost Myra to cancer. She was a wonderful remarkable partner & soul mate. I miss her all the time & I celebrate the life we had together. Life is such a beautiful gift it’s why I campaign so hard for those from whom it is stolen.

Spoiler Alert!
Quick version:
Queens just out of hibernation.
Hungry and house-hunting.
Rest often between flights.
Don’t move or help for an hour unless in immediate danger!
Flowers best option.
50/50 white sugar/water next best option - NOT HONEY!
Don’t bring her inside.

Although truly vile George miraculously turned saintly in #TheArchers , I worry re: Esme telling him she couldn't cope without him. Old George would take serious advantage & scheme to benefit (it's in his blood) + surely he'd tell Brian "I'll give the cops proof of what you did."

This - on Robert Mueller & that vile statement on his death: One Man a Hero. One Man a Monster., by @JamesFallows open.substack.com/pub/fallows/p/…

Lucky Londoners who can get to Green Note tonight for @emilybarkerhalo . Am humming her perfect Beuno's Blessing from the great LP to help the Curlew (as 7th century abbot St Beuno's blessing on the bird who saved his scriptures from the sea is fading): open.spotify.com/track/1FhjdHvA…

It may be my memory but I thought Ruairi was very anti-George at that RJ meeting with the family so even in ignorance of Ruariri's part in his assault, they'd be avoiding each other not chummy over teacakes. And when did ultra-vile George get gentle & empathetic? #TheArchers

Wow. So different from the Trump statement on Robert Mueller's death. This is what it should be- whether you know or like him or not. This is a suitable presidential tribute. Not "I am glad he is dead."
George W. Bush Presidential Center@TheBushCenter
Statement by President George W. Bush on Robert Mueller: "Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."

Just caught up on #TheOtherBennetSister & delighted to see Lucy Briers, Mary from the definitive 1995 Pride & Prejudice (& Richard's daughter) playing Hill. Can't believe it's been 31 years. Always glad to be in the company of P&P but confusing to have Lizzie & Jane so unpleasant

Please help with even a tiny donation if you can for this excellent charity that helps #London dogs of the homeless including with temporary sanctuary when eg their owners are in hospital or hostels that don't take pets (and so much more!). Small charity doing big work worth help
Dogs On The Streets@dotslondon
🚨 URGENT APPEAL 🚨 Please, please, please… even £1 will make a difference. 🙏 We urgently need to install a CCTV system at our other sanctuary to help keep our dogs safe. There are reasons for this that we can’t discuss publicly right now, but protecting the animals in our care is our absolute priority. The full system will cost £4,000. We know that sounds like a lot, but the company helping us has been incredibly generous and is going above and beyond providing additional cameras, warning signs, and even a TV screen system so we can properly monitor the sanctuary. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to making this happen and ensuring our dogs are protected. 🐶 If you can spare £1, £2, or anything at all, it will truly help. And if you can’t donate right now, please share this post so it reaches someone who can. Together we can keep our sanctuary and the dogs who depend on us safe. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🧡 peoplesfundraising.com/fundraising/ma…

Why is the @AmazonUK driver sending me a 'driver chat' text message with a link to reply? I already knew he was near & don't need that. Is it to show he has my mobile number & address so I don't complain that he didn't leave the package in a prescribed or safe place or knock?

I know it's typical sitcom fodder (I didn't realise #TheArchers was a sitcom) but no one would hear their partner wants to move far away & spend the day asking everyone about it instead of immediately saying to her "Your Dad tells me you want to move to Scotland. Is that true?"
English
Despite having booked, braved a long gusty walk here & hugely looking forward to a chance at last to see #TheatrePicasso I have left the endless cigarette smoke-filled queue just to enter @Tate Modern on Members' night as if I ever get in, I doubt they'd fit us in to see Picasso

As an American UK-resident, I’m shocked everyone’s shocked. Trump hates good guys, loves the bad. I thought then: clearly the gov’t thinks #Mandelson is their Farage, a Prince of Darkness for Trump, let's not waste another diplomat in DC. Thinking of victims is a *recent* thing.
