In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°. Over a month, the structure was moved 15 inch/hr, all while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided. No one inside felt it move.

My old Mum Rose getting jab on Sat. She was WW2 nurse (pre-NHS) retiring at 81 after going blind. Beat cancer last year & shrugged off being burgled on Thursday. Calls Covid "Codiv" & Lockdown 'Lock-in'. Trooper! So proud ☺️ Big shout to all the volunteers. #vaccine #nhs #covid

@BBCNews Former BBC Controller Alan Yentob defending the BBC’s handling of the Huw Edwards case just now on Newsnight: “The BBC is on a learning curve… and lessons are being learnt.” You need wings to stay above the incessant bullshit. So depressing.

Once when I was a kid, I went into our garden shed to find about 10 cats sitting in a circle. And my own cat in the middle as if holding court. They looked at me for about 5 seconds, then rushed the door almost knocking me over. Truth, I swear. Dead spooky! #folklorethursday

Gonna make you jealous with my St George's Day in Greenwich: cheered on #LondonMarathon at the Cutty Sark, superb Sunday Roast at the Plume of Feathers, pub crawl, then finishing off with ska band The Estimators at the Pelton Arms. Talk about getting a pub rocking. Check it out⬇️

Dig for Victory! The WWII shelter under Clapham North LU station is the world's first underground farm. Abandoned for 70 years, the site is now used to grow vegetables & herbs such as coriander, broccoli & fennel in a zero-carbon micro-climate powered with LED light. #london
