So what is happening in the Strand? So many police tonight.

I miss Sally Bercow. Those were better times.

@hannahscottuk.bsky.social I just found "Pieces of the Night" at the back of my book shelf. I don't usually listen to CDs, but I dug out my player and put it on. It's so beautiful, I can't believe I've had it so long and not really done it justice.

Keep it light, @duolingoverde.bsky.social !

Why is every man who appears on Pop Master married to someone called Dawn?

All I want is a new series of Shetland with Jimmy Perez, is that too much to ask for?

I've just taken out a boiler / central heating cover plan, and now they want me to review them on Trust Pilot? What am I going to say - "Yes, they took my money this morning"?

OK @duolingoverde.bsky.social - how about we stick to ordering coffee and scheduling meetings?

I am a massive fan of the BBC series Ghosts, and I have a grudging respect for the US version. I just watched the first episode of the Australian version, it's terrible. How they could make such a mess of the hospital scene I really don't know. It was written for them, just act it!

Languages make the world a richer place, they are our heritage. Just because someone is capable of understanding English, that's no reason why they shouldn't have access to health-care, news and legal representation in Scots or Gaelic if that is their first language.

We are talking about friendship and money in Money Box Live next week. Keen to hear your stories - maybe you lent money to a friend, how did it go? Maybe you earn more or less than a friend and it causes pressure? Maybe a friend gives money advice and you don’t/like it. Felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk

Duolingo hitting me up with the hardest questions! (I'm mainly learning Dutch and French, but we have a trip to Spain planned for next year)

My son is off to school today. He's the deputy head, so I guess he doesn't have a choice.

Not gonna lie, this is way more interesting than the eclipse.

Stamp collecting is a funny game. These Princess Diana stamps from 1997 were in an antique and curiosity store for £1.50. Their face value might be just £1.30, but you would imagine a collector would happily pay a fiver for a mint condition set.

@theipaper.com In your article on Internet-only TVs (inews.co.uk/news/online-...) surely all Freely need to do is add a "simple mode" to their TVs, like "Easy mode" on a Samsung Galaxy, rather than the Doro idea of "different hardware for Gran". A basic simplified remote would be required.

I actually had a pretty easy blood donation today. I've struggled recently.

My wife is in the garden drinking tea and chatting to our daughter on a video call. It occurs to me that we are actually living in the future.

Linux (and I) have reached the level of maturity where I haven't switched re-installed the OS for 2 years. Quite a change from the old days of "Distro Hopping".

My wife preached at a local church yesterday. There's a Baptist tradition that if a visiting preacher refuses payment, then they will be offered a small gift instead. Yesterday we were pleased to accept home-grown Logan Berries and a cucumber. I call that winning.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social who is paying for all the Reform UK supporter posts that are littering my Facebook timeline? Someone is spending a fortune.

If pride is a sin then I am a sinner. This afternoon I restrung my rotary washing line. It took forever but it worked ok.

Why is Radio 3 Unwind playing The Clangers?

Listening to BBC Radio 3 this morning, heard Dappled Light by Luke Howard. Really worth a listen. open.spotify.com/track/5bhbv1...

Just finished reading"Murder on the Line" by Jeremy Vine. A perfectly good murder mystery, which comes with its own play list. More books should have this! open.spotify.com/playlist/1wJ...

Happy now? You stupid Owl!

Were you given flowers for Valentine's Day, or did you buy some for someone? How are they doing? These are the ones I bought for Catherine, still in full-flower. Not a bad buy!

This sounds like an amazing opportunity!

@felicityhannah.bsky.social Morning Felicity. Did you know that with Saga Car Insurance, if you don't want their renewal offer, you have to phone or chat to an AI bot. I only found this out by Googling it. There is no option within the account to say "no, thank you". They seem to make it hard.

Listening to New Radio UK. Someone needs to tell their newsreader how to pronounce Ian Gillan's name!

2 minutes ago, while eating a KitKat after lunch, my wife said "we could go to Wokingham Theatre tonight, their doing Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf". Tickets are now booked and I'm looking forward to a great evening out.

Ok, so I appreciate that it's not a sub 2 hour marathon, but still an achievement. #stack414 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⏱️ 3m 33s 🔥 streak: 1 puzzlist.com/stackdown

@undividual.bsky.social hi Emma, I was just reminiscing about when Twitter was good and I would chat to you. Hope you are well. x

I am looking for renters and landlords to chat to me about the new rights starting next week! Do you have a question or a comment. Or maybe a story about eviction, rights, relationships with a landlord or a tenant? Get in touch -felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk (Shares gratefully received!)

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves” It’s so obvious, it hurts. www.desmog.com/2026/04/18/n...

I love that Radio Caroline decide to play a Kate Bush song, and they choose "The Dreaming". Every other station is doing "Running Up That Hill" or "Army Dreamers"
