The earliest references to St. George the Martyr church at Borough date from the 12th century, long before George became patron saint of England. It was where London's aldermen welcomed Henry V following the Battle of Agincourt. The present building was completed in 1736.

Just read Percival Everett's The Trees, a Booker shortlisted satirical horror novel about lynching. It was unputdownable – but the @picadorbooks.bsky.social ebook was execrably edited, incl. missing words, bad line breaks, often in dialog so one has to puzzle out who exactly is speaking. Shameful!

It's World Mental Health Day, and the world we live in makes it a little harder for everyone, I think, to maintain good mental health. Go easy on yourself.

I clicked! Happy anniversary.

Done! Thanks and Happy Birthday.

But of course the whole point of a French "burger" is that it's meant to look good and be eaten with a knife and fork. If the unburgerlike trimmings also taste good, you're in luck.

I've done that! That is, I've eaten lunch beside the Göksu stream.

Thanks for posting it. I seriously had no idea, thought disabled objections were maybe just paranoia. But yeah, this is appalling.

Also in France. I clicked away.

I'm so old I remember when there were NO PODCASTS. In those days, Wikipedia was indeed slop. It could be useful, but you had to double-check everything it said, which often meant sourcing the info yourself. Sound familiar?
