There are a few tickets remaining for this @burylitfest.bsky.social event with the fabulous Jad Youssef from Lebnani restaurant. He's bringing food too! www.burylitfest.co.uk/product-page...
Heads up for cat owners: Lick-e-Lix are doing boxes of 20 sachets. £5.10 at Tesco compared with £6 for 4 boxes of 5 so much cheaper.
Good to have a reminder every once in a while. It's easy to do, and the problem is likely to get worse. So make it a habit.
Just one of many accounts on the Hellsite pretending to be Ukrainian, pumping out Russian propaganda, actually from Nigeria. The entire site is a misinformation engine.
Please share the information about Oleshky everywhere you can! Russia is starving residents of the town and nearby villages by denying food supplies and evacuation. People in Oleshky need help, or else they won't survive the winter!
We're trying to find a home for, and I quote, "the Pissfingers of cats." Any takers? ❤️
Pls don't forget Ukraine. I am begging you. Help in any way you can.
Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu · 4d agoIncredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

London folks! Can anyone recommend somewhere with great cake in London? We’ve found incredible biscuits, pastries, patisserie and buns but cake? Nowhere to be found so far! Any recommendations would be great, thank you! (Fortnum & Mason pic just because it’s lovely!)
Anne Louise writes quite wonderfully and her pieces are a beautiful antidote to the unfocused negativity that pervades so much of public debate. Entertaining, amusing, moving, intriguing, she is always refreshing. Do enjoy her work and sponsor her if you possible can.

Anne’s writing is really unusual. In a world awash in unfocused verbiage, her work is like a fine mosaic with every word carefully chosen and exactly right. Reading one of her stories is a kind of mental timeline cleanse that restores an awareness of humanity and balance.

Kentish barn, eyerolling at yet another walker cooing at the oast house at its shoulder. Hop cones on the vines in the hedgerows at Ightham Mote Farm, & hoppers huts on the field edges. Hop-picking holiday country, somewhere hereabouts, that Grandad knew as a boy.
