A great day because it was so sunny #Yorkshire #Saltaire

And it included some Victorian wash house information!!!

Is it Wuthering Heights?

Two #bronte days around #Haworth

Vicious circle, lockdown got us used to not going out, public toilets closed, now we aren't encouraged to go out because there are less toilets.

A case in #TunbridgeWells where you more or less have to buy a coffee to use a toilet.

England left with ‘toilet deserts’ as public facilities decline by 14% in a decade Report says lack of provision is harmful to health and damaging for high streets The number of public toilets in England has fallen by 14% in a decade, harming public health and creating vast swathes of lavatory “deserts” and unpleasant environments, a report says. The analysis by the Royal Society for Public Health found a “significant shortfall” in provision, with 15,481 people for each public toilet in England. That contrasts sharply with Scotland, where there are 8,500 people for each toilet, and Wales, with 6,748. Continue reading...

Mill & cobbled street ( Keighley)

Much harder doing this on phone than old laptop! I have had a multitude of thoughts today, & ended up just writing a summary ( which might not even be complete, so much has gone on)

I want to write why I am still the same me

#BTS #art #ink after a couple of weeks I thought I should try to find time for some art, but still lacking inspiration. I am taken by the lyrics of "Come Over" & googled images for knocking on doors & found this artist, and copied his painting! ( It is slightly different)

And as you said elsewhere, about prejudice to K-pop - is an American producer makes a song with international performers, but calls it K-pop: are they targeting fans already into K-pop, and receiving ridicule from those against the "Hallyu Wave" ( when they could just have "a boy/ girl band)

I have been thinking about this: is K-pop a music style? ( Like reggae or House) Or pop music made by Koreans? Or an industry format ( the dorm/ training etc)

Awake early for #Bedgebury #parkrun and #blossom - I just did some walking!!!

Chaotic traditional Korean cooking and strange drink mixing relating to home town ( was waiting for them to start singing Ma City) I was left wondering if Vogue had ever had a kitchen YouTube video before ( then didn't check)

I spent the afternoon on the sofa looking at the Hilbert family and TW waterworks

Curious about his past as born in #Haxey and was in Lambeth 1841, then TW 1851. Also his other son John Jackson has some mysteries... #TunbridgeWells

#genealogy #history ( not my family though)

Two pieces of #arirang inspired art: Into The Sun & Swim

Most of the other songs haven't inspired any art yet #BTS #art #ink

A weekend at home & around town #spring #TunbridgeWells
