Leave me out of your parade
I have not the heart for dancing
For dancing on his grave"

Day 26 - Song that led you to an artist's full catalog
Was vaguely aware of Duluth, MN's best musical export since Bob Dylan. Later, I heard this song in an episode of the British crime TV series Silent Witness.
RIP Mimi.

RT this with your home river.
Wilsons River, Lismore, with its banks slightly wider than usual during the 2022 flood. (The river is usually ~1.5 km from bottom of the hill.)
This photo was taken just down from the house where I grew up.

Just watched an episode of the American true-crime series Snapped. Story was about a guy in Dalhart, Texas who was murdered by his daughter in 2017.
Reminded me of another murder that I know of in that town, that occurred 36 years earlier...

I'm 100% with Bernard on this.
The AFL is chipping in $15 million, or ~1%, of the cost of this monstrosity. If their spawt is such a great earner, why aren't they paying for the whole damn thing?
Also - if you kid yourself that you're 'progressive' politically, you shouldn't be following spawt.

When I write about about Shetland ponies, I am writing about love. Love for #Shetland, it's windswept hill and wild sea. Love for island memories of independence despite exploitation & love for the ponies who helped folk survive & who still connect people to land & history.
