Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.

@fugitiveink His coat is looking much better. Well done for your loving care.

@LizaChami Good morning Liza, and good morning to Zitoun.

@LizaChami Good morning Liza.

@LizaChami Good morning Liza.

@GraemePeacock1 Hopefully it is nice and quiet. There has been a lot of noise going on near there this weekend I think.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@LizaChami Good Sunday morning to you and Zitoun.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@CL_Meadows His face is saying that it’s beginning to work. 😂

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@LizaChami He is lovely.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@LizaChami Good morning Liza.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@Ryder56004614 Yes, but the eyes look a bit weird!

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@LizaChami Good Tuesday morning to you Liza. Cold and raining here as our cold Spring continues. There is a glimmer of hope for a warm weekend though.

@AmazonHelp The webpage you’ve entered is not a functioning page, go to homepage. So the link doesn’t work. I’ve got to go out now and won’t be pack until about 7pm. Parcels still in Evri’s Carlisle depot and likely to remain there or disappear.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@SamRaincock @thepaddock1892 Exactly. Same here. Generally the village is spotless but the Monday Men do pick up litter if we see it. Unfortunately some of our residents ditch their Hexham takeaways out of their car windows on the way home so as not to fill up their bins at home! Lack of pride in their place

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@CL_Meadows Two more parcels delayed at the so-called delivery depot. Grrr.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@CL_Meadows Yeah, that’s like me when I see my parcel is still at Evri’s delivery depot.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

@AmazonHelp Thank you for your response Christie. I’ve tried going through my account but I get sent down rabbit holes that lead nowhere. I’m very disappointed that Evri is being used. The service we get locally is absolutely hopeless. Most things I order that come via them *never* arrives.

[Mike Slade @EmJaySlade]

Ordered two items from Amazon (as a Prime customer) and guess what? They are being ‘delivered’ by Evri. Both items should’ve been delivered today, one now supposed to be coming on 19th (‘or let us know if you don’t get it then’) and the other now 21st. Hopeless delivery company.

@ABFixby My wife regularly sends postcards to an elderly former neighbour of our son’s who lives 400 miles away from us in a nursing home. When we go somewhere for the day or a couple of days away she will go to the carousel stand and pick up half a dozen. She writes on each one.

John Eric Bartholomew, AKA Eric Morecambe, was born 100 years ago today.

Few people in history have made as many people laugh as Eric, and as someone whose life was dedicated to that purpose, I am sure it is an accolade he would have been incredibly proud of.

For me, Eric’s brilliance lay not just in the laughter he created, but in the anticipation of the laughter to come. That gift was omnipresent, following him like a comedic halo. To see him was to smile instinctively, followed quickly by genuine laughter. His friend Tommy Cooper possessed that same rare quality, and I have many treasured memories of watching them both when I was young.

Thanks to social media, Eric’s work continues to be enjoyed by millions worldwide every day, and appreciation for his immense talent only grows. Long may that continue.

Here he is, with Ernie and Mr Preview, creating some 22 karat TV comedy gold.

God bless Eric Morecambe x
