Unexploded WW2 bomb found in a Tewkesbury garden at the weekend has been safely dealt with:

This part of the country didn't get hit anywhere near as much as elsewhere in this country.
The only one that I know of was told to me by my father.

The houses in the mews are on the right of the driveway. On the immediate left is the church hall, then greenery, and at the end that's the church we went to in my early years.
If you move forward, the houses in the mews comes to an end and you come to a place used for parking and some garages or storage units.
Where the parking is used to be another house. That was were a woman my father knew slightly had lived until she and her house were wiped out

I noticed that the Talking Pictures tv channel is showing the biopic film "Francis of Assisi" (1961) this morning. It was directed by Michael Curtiz, director of films such as "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938) and "Casablanca" (1942). I saw it many years ago and found it rather boring.

Dolores Hart played the part of Clare in that film, an aristocratic woman who in the film (and would go on to found the Order of Saint Clare, the order of nuns also known as the Poor Clares.
In real life Dolores Hart gave up acting a couple of years after the film to become a nun herself. She's the only nun who is a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I don't know if she actually votes for who is awarded Oscars.

Thankfully our local geese & swans don't appear to have been affected...

Probably more than one   

I listen to starlings nesting in my eaves every day. Full relay they are. Ready to fly now - you can hear the wings go     

The sooner the better - what a racket .

I was going to say, bet they make a bit of a din

We've had a couple of wasps nests in our eaves...not quite so pleasant as a bird

Our Hawthorn attracts the small birds though

Article on the BBC site about a new 3-D digital scan of the wreck of the Titanic showing what it would look like if the ocean water wasn't there.
Includes a 1 minute video which has no sound, I found it a bit disturbing,

A truly tragic event, all those lives lost unneccessarily and in such an horrific way

It's fascinating to see how well certain parts/items have been preserved after more than 100 years.
..and even though we see the ship in it's entirity, it's still hard to comprehend just how big she was ...mind blowingly big!

I think they should leave it alone peeps. People died in that
