@rorysutherland The bezel only looks like a timing device, it's actual function is as a social transmitter indicating that you're rich and sporty - telling the time is required but not primary

@HelenGriffiths5 @lornahunting I daydream about being organised enough to label freezer food

@NorthantsCodger @churchofengland I'll be watching, at least some of the big matches, as long as they're not too much past my bedtime, unless I'm away etc but if I am watching, it's for all those reasons

Far too late to recommend (though the book looks good) but the @simon_schama Birds exhibition at the Mauritshuis was everything you would want: curious, humane, surprising and enhancing, a true wunderkammer

[Anne Gurney @AnneVGurney]

@GretelleMaitre I used to love learning all that and imagining going to all those places

[Anne Gurney @AnneVGurney]

@silverpebble Job done, so pretty!

[Anne Gurney @AnneVGurney]

@simongerman600 I think of imperial measures as round and metric as square and sometimes you need round things

[Anne Gurney @AnneVGurney]

@WalkerMarcus A nice silver-lining is that I missed the original clip and am only seeing it thanks to a bunch of ranters! Must make an effort to go!

[Anne Gurney @AnneVGurney]

@zarahandley I love that the builders of the second two saw no reason to replace the earlier ones (also imagining an element of 'call that a window, ...')

[Anne Gurney @AnneVGurney]

@AnthonyGri10669 @HelenGriffiths5 Perhaps we can start a rumour it was funded by BP

[Anne Gurney @AnneVGurney]

@HelenGriffiths5 My jaw is currently dropped! And I thought this was the true McGonnagal of church art (which is quite sweet in a country church)
