A great old film well worth watching, especially the "Table scene" at the end.

A must watch video

Paul Simon has shared a new version of Bridge Over Troubled Water in honour of the new Ysbyty Enfys field hospital at Venue Cymru in Llandudno.

The Simon and Garfunkel singer, who wrote the iconic song originally released in 1970, described the rendition as "extraordinary" on his Facebook page.

The performance features NHS workers, Welsh celebrity singers and actors including Matthew Rhys and Rhys Ifans.

The ex-straw-dinary scarecrow festival brightening up a North Wales village in lockdown
A village has gone all out to raise the spirits and collect a bit of cash for a very good cause.

Scarecrows have been popping up in gardens across a North Wales village during the coronavirus lockdown.

Residents in Overton-on-Dee, in Wrexham, have been getting creative with almost 100 creating scarecrows - some of which are NHS themed in order to pay tribute to key workers fighting Covid-19.

The "ex-straw-dinary" creations include doctors, a mechanic, Humpty Dumpty, a cricket player and even a Welsh dragon - and have certainly brightened up the village, especially for children on their walks during the lockdown.

Organiser Jude Moulsdale said the village is hoping to raise £1,000 for Hope House Children's Hospice.

Aha, penny has dropped ... furthest row needs 2 blocks to complete (total 2), next nearest needs two layers of 3 (total 6), closest row needs 3 layers of 4 (total 12)

But then you only have 4 layers and you need the fifth to complete a cube 5x5x5 = extra 25 ... so total 45.

Knew I shouldn't have jumped in straight away!

Sneaky !!!
