Sorry for your loss. Well done you, good son, for ensuring your Mum's last years at home. No matter what people say, most care homes are prisons for the elderly. They should not be run for profit; but even government ones are horrific. We have scandal after scandal here & no accountability.

Watched first episodes of #LoveontheTurquoiseLand but stopped at 3. Too gruesome & bloody for me. It's classic horror & well done (not abuse porn). Great to see #Dilraba back in action but ML wasn't whom I thought he was. Think #BaiJingting would've been a matter match for her.

No, but noted. I only get to watch anything late at night after I've done everything else. My reward. About to head into #MoonRiver ...

Lol you two. Is it good? Haven't dipped in yet. But what's not to like with those two leads.

Ach, Áine, that would be fabulous! But I think you'll be back here before I am there. Let's see on which 'holy ground' we'll first meet.

Hmm I've always thought bás in Éireann but Benares ... I adore Varanasi. The maddest city on the planet. So that would be 3 out of 4. #India

First visited Chidambaram in 1997. It was on the outskirts of town & empty, as it was lunch time. I just left my shoes outside & wandered around. Next visit was a few years ago. An entire city has grown up around it & it was packed with worshippers, tourists & priests. Still glorious. ❤️

As soon as I'm finished my new book - by Christmas! - I will begin to plan next year's visit to India. 🥰

I've heard purists object to this kind of animation (around similar presentation of Van Gogh's work for an immersive exhibition). I couldn't imagine the artist objecting. What an exquisite way to bring paintings alive for new generations. And every bit of it by the painter's hand. 😍

Chile. Home to escaped Nazis. Abominable human rights record. Massive wealth held by tiny minority. And some of us are old enough to remember the American coup that ousted Allende. But this comes from the newly-elected centre-left coalition led by Communist Party President Jeannette Jara. 🌟

Hmm this still lets him off the hook. He also chose to be the complete cretin that he is and revels in it.

Someone in Harvard needs to do a Ph.D on why Americans are so stupid. But Harvard is too busy fighting off Trump and educating the children of rich people (because you have to be rich to get a college education in America. 🤷)

And there's a cameo with one of my other favourite actors Jo Jung Suk. The carry-on between him, FL Jung Ji-Hyun (brilliant comedic acting throughout the series, she's the mermaid) and Lee Min Ho will have you in stitches. #LegendoftheBlueSea

This is an old one and shows his comedic abilities (as well as his beauty of course). You'll be laughing your head off.
