Marple's okay but Miss Silver deserves to be as famous! Even Inspector Alleyn and Albert Campion haven't had an adaptation in eons

I'm reading another Carol Carnac/ERC Lorac and if I was stupidly rich I'd employ people to make movies or tv series of so many golden age detective novels that have never had the treatment. I like Christie just fine but you'd think she was the only person writing crime in the 20th century

A woman peacefully sleeps on a bed, wearing a light dress. She's lying on her side with a relaxed expression, set in a calm, softly lit room.

On this day in 1890, Dod Procter was born. She trained in Cornwall and Paris, gaining fame in the 1920s for her striking female figures, including Morning. Later, her work evolved to landscapes and still life. She lived and worked in West Cornwall until her death aged 80.

I love her

I keep seeing posts about Olly Robbins and thinking they're about Ollie Robinson because everything is cricket and cricket is everything

What a good

A white moomin cup with a blue drawing of flowers and moomin trolls

Whenever you go to Finnland you have to come home with a new Moomin cup. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

AGAINST MY WILL

I had a horrible night's sleep and listened to a lot of radio and was all prepared to be grumpy all day at work but then a neighbour dropped in with baked goods for me and a woman came in and bought half a jar of sweets to use for "guess the number of sweets in the jar" and now I'm quite cheerful

Happy Calvin day and Khazrak day! Double excellence

It's hilarious, do it

Thought this was about cricket for a minute

Happy Calvin day!

Omfg. I mean I guess better out than in but how incredibly frustrating to know it could have been dealt with earlier and possibly less invasively. Big hugs

My preference would be the middle one but I think the left one would also look good

Isle of wight?

Colour photo of an excavated, preserved tree stump of an oak that grew in the Early Bronze Age

The preserved stumps of oak trees survive below the Flag Fen post-alignment. Part of a submerged forest, these trees belong to a Early Bronze Age terrestrial landscape that pre-dates the rising groundwater table that turned these low-lying contours into a fen embayment. #BogOaks #Fenland #FlagFen 🏺

I'll have pineapple in anything. Duck and pineapple is really good

Quick and Meaningless Data Collection Help me collect some data to use for student examples! The questions on geographic region and gender will only be used for subsetting the data, not for student analysis. No questions are required -…

I NEED HELP!

Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats!

I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again!

Please circulate widely!

Do you know what the humans plan to address the behaviour? I hope it involves fun and games

Springtime in England 💖

An ancient artifact on display in a museum: a clear glass vessel in the shape of a dove, mostly full of a clear liquid, with a small heap of pinkish substance in the bottom, and dark substances in the head and tail.

Roman blown-glass unguentarium or balsamarium in the shape of a dove, found at Rovasenda near Vercelli in N Italy, sealed since its manufacture about 1900 years ago, containing the remains of a cosmetic and the liquid in which it was once suspended. One would have snapped off the tail to open.

BBC Radio 4 Extra - The Marx Brothers' Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel, Series 3, Episode 3 The shady lawyer starts a bus tour of New York. The Marx Brothers radio show recreated.

If you need a healthy dose of sanity in these insane times, BBC Radio 4 Extra are repeating our Marx Brothers re-creations “Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel”. I believe you can listen live from anywhere on the planet but can only stream them on catch up in the UK.

I think this makes sense

Gem Jam board game

I'm holding a tiny little plastic gem biscut

Gem jam. Gem biscuits are a popular children's snack in malaysia and singapore (we got it from the british in colonial times). You collect tiny little gem biscuits and make colour patterns with them as you collect friends with trays (cards) to put the biscuits on

No wait, 13 and 14 are of different rooms - but 14 is definitely the cutting table

Picture numbers 13 and 14 - the bedroom with two windows

Every possible surface 😆
