TfL having the same sort of day as the rest of us, but if they don't sort ONE of these I don't know how I'm getting home.

Complete design fail at the Louisiana café, where the coffee cups have no handles, so I'll be waiting until my black coffee is cool enough to pick up. I guess I can't do form without function!! 😂 Louisiana.dk

A ceramic coffee mug designed without any handle (and containing very hot black coffee) on a black steel table next to the gallery map of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark.

〓〓 Also, here you go Matt. I told you it wd be my turn this week...

A country church, its Bell tower, and banks of spring flowers in the churchyard, including bluebells, primroses and wild garlic (there were speedwell and violets in there too, but they're too small to spot in the photograph).

〓〓 Cornwall has been glorious this week my 'ansums. Give it a go in Spring if you can, don't stay in Ai*BnB as it has destroyed the rental market for locals, don't bring everything with you, try to shop local. And enjoy it. Proper job.

And if I had a fiver for everyone I’ve heard (after a confirmed diagnosis) say baffled “there’s no cancer in my family”! /Because/ the genetic linked disease gets more media coverage, the flip side is people then think with no family history they get a pass #TheArchers Just check your bits, folks.

This is the signature image from a charity “Know Your Lemons” .org
It depicts an egg box with each of the dozen places holding a lemon, and each lemon shows one of the many different presentations of a breast cancer.

Evening light on Tooting Common. In the heart of sarf London, which the gullible believe a no-go area. Those able to think for themselves see kids learning to ride their bikes, kicking a football abt, first arm-over of the season for the cricketers, goslings on the pond, and bluebells in the woods.

Dappled evening light through the woods, and as you get your eye in, you see the carpet of bluebells beneath.

Thanks for trying, but still not convinced. What holes?!!! Fire-stopping a massive issue. Holes to where? Where is this 'Unit' supposed to go? [V little cupboard space in newbuild flats, only a few have a titchy balcony, we have neither, no flat roof etc etc]. Link doesn't work either:

Oh, #BBCSport. You disappoint me. Heated Curlers was right there...

Me too, Jonn. And then I remembered that I had this on my bedroom wall, so no wonder (later replaced by posters of a Peugeot 205 T16 and a very beautiful Steve Strange… don’t judge me, I had / still have a lot to learn):

Wide horizontal chart representing the reigning monarchs of England from William I as columns (with their capitals), height of column proportionate to length of reign. This reproduction of the chart is dated 1967, and apparently based on one found in the State Apartments at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, though extended up to and including the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It was reproduced and offered for sale in bookshops and newsagents, I had one in the 1970s.

Our media, already bored w Storm Goretti, failing to see that in South West, National Grid *still* reporting 27,000+ homes w/out power, inc 8,293 vulnerable users. Terrible risk to vulnerable customers still w/out power trying to heat by other means. If able, please look out for your neighbours. 🙏〓〓

Screengrab taken from National Grid, morning of 10 Jan, showing total properties in the SouthWest STILL without power after Storm Goretti: 27,019 homes without power, of which 8,293 are vulnerable customers.

Screengrab taken a.m. Saturday 10 January (3rd day from Storm Goretti ) from National Grid of map of England and Wales showing power outage incidents. Of the 413 incidents across Eng & Wales, 312 are in Cornwall. STILL without power.

It's a pity that @chrisgpackham.bsky.social seems to prefer more professional photos these days, but here is my amateur pic of #FoxOfTheDay encountered on my way home from the office Christmas Dinner. Cool as a cucumber, untroubled by passers-by, with a VERY handsome tail.

#BBCR4 11:00 news broadcast commentator saying Andrew Windsor still a Counsellor of State. Really? Wow. Please can we focus ( @theguardian.com especially) on the potential / contingent constitutional role (and removal from it), over the tassels and gold braid? Ta.

Screengrab dated Sat 18 Oct of the official “royal.uk” webpage relating to Counsellors of State. ‘Duke of York’ still among those listed.

There will be people I met this evening who may doubt I already had these on my bedside pile, but it's all true, I'm buzzing I got to speak to the super-talented people I did tonight! [Not sure I shd link both in same post, but you know who you are🏛.] For now, thank you @nikitagill.bsky.social !

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social #TheCatReviewer Had to reach through railings to rub the tummy of this tiger soaking up the sun. 10 for friendliness, but -2 for inaccessibility: 8/10. [She wants to keep her wits about her: under nearby bush is where the fox family sleeps in the daytime.]

Two pictures of a dark tabby cat lying in the sun at the foot of a brick wall. In the second picture she has rolled over to offer the reviewer her tummy to rub.

Bloody brilliant day y'day at the Cold Water Swimming Championships. Absolutely 💯 amazing, all organised by awesome #SLSC cttee and others - all volunteers. I have no idea how many hot drinks we handed out, it must have been high100s. Today I shall mainly be lying down in darkened room! ❤💚💛💙

Early winter's morning, not long after first light, clear blue sky, and a 91m outdoor swimming pool still as a mirror, seen through the steam of two hot tubs. Bunting! Something is about to begin...

Bunting, posters and penguin designs. A notice saying water temperature is 5⁰C, 41⁰F.

Easily my favourite hat: swimmer wearing chin strap swim hat made of artificial turf on which are fixed little bowls of fruit and veg (as would be displayed on a market stall), bananas, lemons, cucumber and more, all topped with a sign saying 'Tooting Market'.

A view from high in the grandstand across the pool, Tooting Bec Lido's iconic poolside changing cabins, bunting, sail advertising, and hundreds of well-wrapped up spectators. There's a buzz.

Baby-sitting for friends this evening... I let him watch age-inappropriate programming for about 3 mins, but it (#DogsBehavingVeryBadly) felt like leaving a toddler in front of Grange Hill - he was appalled and fascinated and I didn't want him to get ideas, so we switched over pretty quickly.

Have you tried these? Someone loaned me a pair of these on a holiday in Iceland years ago, and they gave me such confidence on slippy icy snowy paths that I got my own when I got home. Yak Trax ‘Walk’, they go over any flat walking shoes or trainers:
