I've been in Bristol for a few days getaway. I've really enjoyed the city, its people and some great weather. Topped off today by the Bristol balloon fiesta, it's been glorious.
I luv The Gower, especially in this weather, great bays, countryside and walks. Picture is of Langland Bay earlier in the year.
I can't watch the Lebara tv adverts of two old guys without thinking of Farage -it must be the blazer. Who the hell wears blazers, apart from that bellend.
Great to see you've kept your Pensions ministerial role. Well done Torsten. A very sensible move from Burnham.
Tadej Pogačar is a cycling phenomenon. Yesterday he achieved his 25th stage Tour de France win, and he's well on course for his fifth overall victory. This will put him joint first most Tour wins. At 27 he has time for a few more.
Love Merz getting under Trump's skin. As we say in the UK, he doesn't like it up him. Merz would have anticipated this reaction and other Trump revengeful measures. It just shows that Germany's relationship with Trump, like many other long-standing US allies, has reached the end of the road.
Chuffed to get these from my oldest son, just back from Toronto. Given the shit with Trump they wanted to try Canada instead of the USA, they loved it. They want to go to Vancouver next year.
@googeliart.bsky.social Hi Anne, thanks for following me. Yesterday I was in Cardiff in the UK and took this pic of their Norewgian Church Arts Centre. It was built in 1868 and provided a base for Norwegian seafarers.

Not worth £1 a month. Some excellent journalists there but I can't stomach the right wing editorials and comment pieces.
I'm so glad you had the photo of him in and are keeping him in your thoughts. I never knew my gf and my mother died when I was young so like you I've found out the info by research. I had my gf's war record and they couldn't afford a death cert for his son so the registrar had to bill the army.
