Good morning Maine friend. 👋

Greetings from Cambridge. Thank you Yaroslava, for posting this lovely view which gives geographical perspective with the city and river. This adds to the cultural view from your other videos of such a great city.
Enjoy your coffee. Today I am hiding from people installing an air heat pump. 🤞

Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Labour MPs need to realise this isn’t about getting rid of Starmer it’s about destabilising the Labour govt and getting rid of all of you .. for Nigel and his mates ! The media have been on overdrive on this since July 24 .. it’s the latest attempt but not the last !

It’s not just our media that’s declined in every imaginable way. It’s everywhere.

Once a proud profession. The current crop of hacks have destroyed every vestige of respect they had. There are a few outliers who show integrity but it must be hard and feel very isolating.

RIP British Media.

Greetings from Kyiv!

The night brought drones here.
But a new day arrived,
full of spring’s juicy colors.

Those who look for beauty will find it.
Have a gentle new week.

Kyiv.
Today, near the National Opera of Ukraine.

I do my best to show you a beautiful country breathing behind the bars of war.

I often come across its pieces at exhibitions.

The Mezhyhirya faience factory (1798–1874),
founded near Kyiv on the site of the former Mezhyhirya Monastery,
became one of the first and most important centers of fine faience and porcelain in Ukraine.

I wasn’t talking to you. Just remembering the P.O.

Exactly.

Quite.

But for the most part they all behaved like sensible adults not giggling school kids.

Russia is at war with the West. Ukraine’s war is our war. #StandWithUkraine

My message since 2014: defeating the aggressor is the only path to peace. Victory over Russia will end the war.

We have had change and it is still happening. I’m disappointed in you Ed Davey.

Exactly. You’d think everyone would see it by now.

Sky News headlines are totally in contrast to what is being said in Parliament today. That’s why I no longer use Sky News.

We’re so used to lying politicians . The public can’t conceive that Starmer didn’t lie.

The EU now requires all Mobile Phones to be sold with easily replaceable and standardised batteries, as they used to be.

From 2027 they all will be again, in Europe.

I wish it was possible for me to go but your descriptions and pictures carry that wonder. Perhaps you will write more.
Thank you.

You did well.

Good day my Maine friend.
Have a good day. 😊

Greetings Yaroslava,
Spring has come so suddenly in Kyiv! It has been slower in Cambridge, with false starts, but now arrives.
I believe you are a beauty magnet as you always find it. It’s wonderful to see strong and natural colours again.

That’s why I think if he had been a ‘serious security risk’ then Starmer wouldn’t have wanted him.
I’d like to know which of the enemies of Starmer and so the UK are responsible for this. Farage, Musk, MSM, Kemi Badenoch, Putin…?
Are they all now working together?

Who are the Kremlin's friends in the West? YouTube video by Steve Rosenberg

One Russian paper today claims “Life has become four times more joyous.” Another reports the country’s economic reserves are “largely exhausted.” Plus: “a new drop in the approval rating of the [Russian] authorities.” And who are the Kremlin’s friends in the West? #ReadingRussia

Ed Miliband to double down on net zero with measures to combat Iran energy shock As fossil fuel prices soar ‘the era of clean energy security must come of age’, energy secretary will say

This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.

Almost. I don’t think ‘no matter what’ included Mandelson not being cleared.

Exactly.
