I pass this building nearly every day and always think of #Ravilious

A painting of a large country garden seen from above. The sun lights a path, along which a girl runs. Within the bushes and under the trees and crouched in the shadows are several hiding children. In the background there is a row of roofs, and from one chimney smoke rises. The whole painting feels like smoke and sharp edges resting under fallen leaves.

Hide and Seek, painted by Tirzah Garwood in 1950 (as she dealt with her illness)

What an extraordinary painting. The seeker seems lost and in danger; the hiders seem menacing, and discovering them is rather chilling. The chimney smoke the only grown up.

It’s a Val Lewton remake of Petite Maman.

Like lots of us I have a close connection with someone who could have died without access to free prescriptions - thank you @welshgovernment

The Beatles - Two Of Us - Isolated Vocals YouTube video by Rock Band Stems

Hearing John and Paul singing Two Of Us - minus instrumentation - is quite the thing.

Love the “We’re going home” sections. Throughout the song John’s been singing the melody with Macca harmonising. Suddenly, just on these particular lines, they swap.

Get ready for fracking, Reform UK tells energy firms The party is serious about going after shale gas - but critics argue it's too difficult and costly.

Reform would allow fracking in Wales if they are allowed to take control next May. For our children's future- don't let that happen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I am horrified about this-are you? #Reform #Fracking

This is really welcome news, thank you #Welshgovernment. As someone with a close relative born far too early, I know how much of a difference this will make to babies and their stressed parents

New UK civil service internship scheme only open to working-class students Minister says programme will help ensure Whitehall has ‘broadest range of talent and truly reflects the country’ A new civil service internship scheme will be open only to working-class students as part of a drive to make Whitehall better reflect the country, the government has said. The programme will give students from lower-income backgrounds the chance to apply for paid government placements.
