There's a commercial website that is down with a wordpress critical error. Would like to do the civic duty of reporting it but emails bounce to webmaster and postmaster. I miss the old conventions. Websites removing email contact altogether replaced with forms... which are completely useless when your website is broken

Realising that it's now over two years since I had spine surgery after a herniated disc . So thankful for simple things like being able to sit/walk without pain, only long-term issues is a small patch of numbness in one foot. Compared to the at times 10/10 pain of #Sciatica, life is sweet 🌈 😀

Not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 large rats🐀 scurrying away when I went to the bins out the back. They just laugh at the "rodent control" black boxes from the council.

Enjoying (Really Not The Right Word) the brilliant #JudgmentAtNuremberg. Nice touch by director - early on we see German lawyers speaking in German, camera (and subtly sound!) pulls back, being translated into English from someone in a booth. The camera leaves the booth to focus in on lawyer again and gently the spoken German transforms into English for rest of film.👏 Genius #StanleyKramer.
Can't get enough close-ups of #SpencerTracy's face ❤️
