Did you spot this @bbc article about our news? We've been awarded a development grant by the #NationalLottery @HeritageFundNOR to develop detailed plans to transform this unique and historic Library into a more accessible and sustainable space: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ma…

Iredale has been done here... Scored better than Burrows but doesn't count because he played wing-back. #bwfc

Did you know you can adopt a book at the Portico Library? We’ll be screening a new film by @‌JeremiahQuinn on our #AdoptABook process at the launch event for our new exhibition #BookendsAndBeginnings tomorrow. The film tells the moving story of how and why people choose their books. We’d love for you to join us for the event & screening on Thu 12 Oct from 5 - 7pm: theportico.org.uk/event-cale…

So sad at the passing of the great Wilko Johnson. I first saw Dr Feelgood at the Hope & Anchor in 1974 and they did their first ever radio session on my @BBCR1 show a few days later. Wilko was absolutely unique. His energy and spirit were incredible. We’ll really miss him #RIP

Just had tinned fruit salad and evaporated milk for the first time in, I reckon, 45 years. It was 100% magnificent and I now realise I have wasted nearly half a century on Tiramisu and suchlike.

Just the music 🎵🎶🎸 Jimi Hendrix is ​​asked in an interview: Hey, Jimi, how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world? I have no idea. Ask Rory Gallagher.

Myeloma UK@MyelomaUK1 Feb 2022
It can be hard to spot the signs of #myeloma.  You may feel fatigued, have easily broken bones and/or bone pain, or have low blood cell counts. Spotting it early is key to helping patients start treatment ASAP before complications arise. #wordle #wordlechallenge

Sometimes I like to watch 'Frasier' instead of listen to the news in the morning, just so the only thing I have to worry about is whether Niles has found his cufflinks or not.
