Richard's fundraiser for Marie Curie Help Richard Smyth raise money to support Marie Curie

£204 from my target. Yes, £2000 is a arbitrary goal. But still, we're talking about £204 worth of hospice care for people going through hell. So please give if you can. Plus, the more you give the faster I'll run, that's just science. www.justgiving.com/page/richard...

I ended up with pneumonia as a result - not happy memories!

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo:
“weak on crime”
“terrible for foreign policy”
“catering to the Radical Left”
“owes his position to me”
“sit down and mind your own business”

POPE LEO, unbothered:
“We are called to love.”

Enjoyed the return to the panel format and @jasonhazeley.bsky.social is always a joy.

Had a nice chat with a couple of newly arrived swallows earlier. Said it was really good to see them and hoped they'd had a good journey. They were largely unmoved.

I’m incredibly jealous of the runners now tapering for the London Marathon. Rather than dwell on it, let me know if you have friends running who need a bit of a boost to their fundraising. I’ll let my PayPal participate instead of me this year.

My God, Moose, if anyone is justified in being sad, it's you right now - post what you want, feel what you feel - you have legions or friends/friendly strangers on here who think the world of you so please don't feel obliged to oblige anyone other than yourself.

Just a bit 😆

18-year-old Ukrainian in the UK lost his mum suddenly. His father died some time ago. As an “adult” the state will do nothing for him. The fundraiser aims to help cover his living costs so he can focus on his studies and rebuild his life. If you can, please donate and/or share. gofund.me/5c9624ba9

Native British Animals you say?

Bung a Malteser in the cone and it might keep him distracted for a while - never a bad thing.
