Snapper Up of Unconsidered Trifles. Ex-BBC journo, now Heritage Crafts Comms. Here 🇬🇧 and There 🇫🇷 Arts. Music. Sings. A lot. @MsHelicat in the "Other Place"
Phone hole darned. What a cool thing darning is; it doesn't have to be super-neat... just a good fix to extend the life of your favourite jeans 💙🧵
Anyone else remember when an English summer was 3 'hot' days basking in 21°C (70°F) sunshine followed by a thunderstorm? 🥵
Obsessed. "Mend" by Mathew Gardner. Walnut with a YKK zip ♥️♥️♥️ "Turned from walnut, the form follows a controlled, feminine silhouette. A brass zip introduces a line of tension through the surface." Don't people make fabulous things? Reader, I bought it.
The Times of London is cross tonight. Below the line, readers' comments suggest billions need to be found to fund defence spending. A couple of observations... 😂
Blimey 🏴 Deals signed for flags! (Turns out it's a flagship store 😀)
This strange house, suffocated by leylandii, is on the road to Little Walden, Essex. Facebook enquiries suggest it was once a WW2 airfield. Locals tell of the ghost of an airman 😱; one says her great grandma died trying to save WW2 pilots after a crash! Looks like @leemadgwick.bsky.social painting!
Is actively considering getting a shopping trolley the beginning of the end? 📉😔
Youngest just secured a top job at a quantum computing outfit, so both kids are gainfully employed! Feel like Mrs Bennet in P&P when she marries off 2 of her 5 daughters in one day. "Happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Ms Miller got rid of her two most deserving offspring" 💪🏻👍🏻
Weird spider bowl. Quick photo. Didn't stop around to meet the inhabitant! 🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️
The Canal+/Disney+/BBC drama series Marie Antoinette is quite a jolly affair. Plenty of dramatic licence taken, silly in places & everyone has fantastic teeth. But this screengrab of London circa 1780 is a major disappointment, given construction of the Palace of Westminster started around 1840 😂
Who else is getting post-Covid-Netflix-amnesia? Can't remember what we've seen!!! Everything looking hauntingly familiar! 😂 @goakl.bsky.social
Bravi to all the #Grammys attendees for leaving the house in those outfits. Sierra Farrell's Little-Bo-Peep-meets-the-Pope confection (is that a lantern? a thurible?), is so bad it wins the outfit of the night category. There's meaning in it somewhere, but that meaning is currently evading capture.
Tallis Scholars superb last night at St Martin in the Fields: works by #Palestrina (composing 500 years ago) and living Estonian composer #ArvoPärt Chandelier straight out of the interior design book of Giovanni Arnolfini 😉
What the hell is this piece of spooky French road art about? Deep in Deux-Sèvres... 😂🔥🧙♀️
