My fabulous book family, who have not only been supportive of me during this cancer year, but protective, got me flowers and cake to celebrate the end of my treatment, and big hugs. No, I didn't cry, but I only just held it together. Decided to put the flowers in the bookshop window

Nice of this delivery numpty to leave his bike by a crossing, blocking half the pavement. Just enough room for a single person to pass, anyone with a pram or wheelchair would be stuffed because of this eejit.

Good morning, Glasgow. What a fantastic sunrise above the city's tenements, heralding the start of what will hopefully be another bright autumn day. #glasgow #goodmorning #sunrise #tenements #broomhill

Jimmy Carter's 2,400 acre peanut farm is being sold, and then, after the sale, it will be donated to the state of Georgia... And used as a nature retreat where the public can camp and hunt on the grounds. Even in death he is doing service for others! 🙏💕🤗
If any British politician wants to cut down on benefit payments, we know where they could start. We spend half a BILLION a year on the Royal Family. That is 120,000 people on benefits, or 2.5 million Winter Fuel Payments. For a bunch of arrogant pricks who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.
