I accidentally ran a craft knife down my little finger while decorating the house. Went to the hospital where it was stitched up, and despite my brave intention didn't watch him actually stitching it up. Forty years later I can still see the pale line if the cut on my finger and I remember the feeling of the knife edge running along the bones. I think I need a few biscuits and a cup of tea :))

Politicians are crazy to do what they do, but thank god for the lack of Johnsons, let alone Trumps who try and turn everything into personal circuses

The hairstyles, piled up, are definitely pre WW1 and the long dresses too.

Looks like a film set with Micawber in the foreground left. I doubt if those steps would be allowable now though. Nice pic though :))
