Clouds drifting by

I was just talking to a friend on Facebook messenger. We were talking about various TV series, and I mentioned Sapphire and Steel. I said they're elements, etc.

Unfortunately, Jan heard it as "elephants". So, Sapphire and Steel are two elephants who are sent to investigate strange events.

You heard it here first, folks!

To all those who celebrate it, I hope you have a Christmas that's full of joy and all good things.

To all those who don't, I hope you have a fun Sunday doing something you enjoy the most.

No one should have to live their life with a disability if a surefire treatment is available. There's a freedom in being able-bodied.

Princess Anne to bring mother to London

Princess Anne will accompany Queen Elizabeth II's coffin to London ahead of the funeral, Buckingham Palace says.

The monarch died peacefully on Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Buckingham Palace said the coffin would depart for Edinburgh airport on Tuesday and then be flown to London by RAF Northolt, with the Queen's only daughter on board.

The coffin is expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday, where King Charles III and Queen Camilla will witness its arrival.

I hope Anne's husband will travel with her to give her support. :-(

The BBC is broadcasting statements about the Queen's health. Senior Royals are going to Balmoral to be with her.

I know she's 96 but I can't believe this.

I don't know if anyone else has posted this but Simon from Wildlife Aid has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Wildlife Aid is appealing for donations to build a wildlife centre as they'll have to move from their current location.



I'm really sad about this. Simon has done so much to help injured wildlife. It's amazing the impact one determined person can have.

With a cameo by Simon Farnaby (from BBC's Horrible Histories and Ghosts.)

The full thing isn't up on YouTube yet, but it's well worth watching. It's so cute!

Isn't she adorable?
