I watched 2 women come and very quickly deposit several huge bin bags full of rubbish in our blocks bins . Luckily I fasten mine shut .They drove off sharpish . Bins so full the lids won’t shut .
Council came today and hauled all the bags away for inspection .
Eighty-two years ago today, the fate of the free world turned on the courage of ordinary men asked to do the extraordinary.
On June 6, 1944, more than 156,000 Allied soldiers crossed the English Channel and stormed the beaches of Normandy — many knowing they might never return.
They came not for glory, but for something far greater: the liberation of a continent crushed under tyranny. D-Day was not simply a military operation — it was the moment the tide of history changed, purchased at an almost incomprehensible cost in blood and sacrifice.
As we mark the 82nd anniversary, we don’t simply remember a battle. We remember the men behind it — their fear, their faith, and their extraordinary willingness to give everything so that others could live free. That debt does not expire with time. It only deepens.

I had a brand new Apple iPad Pro delivered yesterday, and I can’t bring myself to open and set it up. I’m thinking I’ll need to sign into all my apps again and I’m not sure about my googlemail which I really don’t want to get locked out of like hotmail did .
"Ignoring racist abuse leaves targets feeling isolated and unsupported. Hate loves silence, which it takes for consent." - @jk_rowling
By that logic, your defence of Sandie Peggie, while being silent about her racist "jokes", is consent, right? 2/
These are the “jokes” told by Sandie Peggie in an internet chat room.
How would you feel if you were a person of Pakistani heritage being treated in hospital by this person?
And that’s before we even get to the transphobic stuff.
