Culture, spotted on my way to the dentist in Brighton this morning. Not sure what it all means, but it calls for attention. #Brighton #streetart #stickers

Here is something rather more comprehensive about Betty Webb MBE, Bletchley Park codebreaker and recipient of the Legion d'Honneur, who died yesterday aged 101. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I am sad to hear Betty Webb MBE has died. "I wanted to do something more for the war effort than bake sausage rolls" she said. Betty (b 1923) joined Bletchley Park in 1941 and helped shorten World War II. In this picture, she is contributing most eloquently to a conference I helped organise in 2016.

This is the pretty refraction of the Sun's rays through my wine glass in a nearby village pub garden on Sunday, when spring finally arrived. Seconds later, with perfect aim, from the tree above, a magpie shat directly and heavily into it. I thought the glass had exploded. #light #science #spring

I wonder what became of Miss Mollie Brown of 29 Strawberry Bank in Dundee, Scotland, who was given this handsome and very well-preserved token of appreciation in 1910? brianselway.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/s... #Dundee #history #Scotland

In 1967, my Mum took me to a telephone exchange where a switchboard operator let me hear the Speaking Clock. A career began. That exchange is one of the first three to be closed as our networks go fully digital. Times change. Something related you don't hear often: drive.google.com/file/d/1KgBt...

Two views from the church porch in a break during organ practice. The window — and the world outside. #church #England @churchofengland.org @chicathedral.bsky.social

Maybe one day there will be an option in a hotel booking to NOT have the duvet fully tucked-in?

Are there any other English words beside swear, tear, bare, wear that have related forms swore/sworn, tore/torn, bore/born, wore/worn where the past tense and past participle have -e and -n endings? AI tells me 'no'.

In 1980, I bought an extra 4kB of memory for my home-built computer. Cost: £30.
Today, an extra 16GB of memory went into my current computer. Cost: the same.
But at 1980 memory prices, this would have been roughly £126m.
Are we rich beyond our wildest dreams? #it #prices #money #computer #history
