@Freyy_is @CarolineAgent Community library in the U.S. There was a card in that box with my childhood loans - my handwriting. My reading memories rushed back - from 1982 maybe.

[Battersea @Battersea_]

All of us at Battersea are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Ambassador Anthony Head. For over 20 years, Anthony was a passionate supporter of our work and a true advocate for rescue. Thank you, Anthony, for everything you gave to Battersea and the animals in our care.

Had forgotten this part of the episode!

[Philip Reeve @philipreeve1]

The sad tidings about Anthony Head made me remember his ‘exposition song’ from an episode of Buffy. ‘Try not to bleed on my couch, I’ve just had it steam-cleaned’ is one of the all-time great rock lyrics. https://t.co/N7jf0PAW0i

Post your favourite Giles gif.
Or your favourite Anthony Head gif if Buffy isn't your major memory.

In honour of the man, the legend and a huge part of many people's viewing lives. #RIP

@morganjeffery My brother was a London cab driver with many celebrity customers over the years, and said he was the nicest.

A quick story about Anthony Head.

He was of my earliest interviews as an entertainment journalist. It was GILES… from BUFFY. I was nervous.

Towards the end of our conversation, I dried up and forgot my next question… (1/2)

[Andrew Hsieh @AndrewOnSeeAIR]

Anthony Head delivered one of his finest performances in my favourite #DoctorWho episode School Reunion. This scene with him and David Tennant will forever be iconic. #RIPAnthonyHead

[Prof Sara Lodge @LearNonsense]

Last day of research trip was spectacular. I did the walk to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne barefoot across the sands.
If this isn’t on your bucket list, I strongly recommend adding it.

It’s like being in a watercolour painting, by a genius of light & tint, that is still wet.

My daughter's last day of high school was today. In her senior English class, her teacher had all of them sit on the floor and said "You start off in kindergarten sitting on a rug for story time, and I thought you could finish that way, too." Then she proceeded to sit on a chair and read them the book "Oh the Places You'll Go."

These last two years I've been all over the UK - seen things that would scald your heart and things that would make it soar. I've got stories. Come and listen here ..

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

[Lantana Publishing @lantanapub]

🥟 A trip to the market, a pot full of ingredients, and a community that shares what it has.

Mama's Special Wonton Soup by Wai Mei Wong and Xin Yue Zhu is a gentle story of kindness, food and togetherness set in rural China. 💛

[🌱Hello, I'm Mark @LoveGrowingVeg]

A mindfulness moment just now. Bees enjoying the phacelia and cornflowers. Actually seeing several moths on the phacelia too, can you find them? The sights, sounds and smell of late spring, if only I could bottle it. Beef the pheasant calling in the distance to say hello 👋😍
