A family friend died recently and the momento from the funeral was bottles of his favourite hot sauce.
Legend.

A rant.

If you are late to drop your kids off at school or public transport, that does not make you exempt from rules of the road nor to put others lives at risk.

A bunch of kids and parents were almost taken out this morning by a driver (rule H2!) turning into a road.

Maybe I should have done this earlier in my life but basic brick laying is harder than it looks.

Reminder esp for drivers on the Highway Code with new school year in UK 👇

"Rule H2 - Rule for drivers, motorcyclists, horse drawn vehicles, horse riders and cyclists.

At a junction you should GIVE WAY to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning"

Just me or is the tannoy voice on the Metro, similar to the voice on the solido projector from Dune?

World #DrowningPrevention day is 25 July.

My effort in raising awareness in the community (#5) to help red + yellow flags and their meaning at the beach.

I almost drowned many years ago when I didn't swim between the flags 😔

Learn to swim + float to live...

@who.int #RNLI #SLSGB #SLSA

A WHO infographic titled “Drowning is preventable” on a blue water-themed background. It encourages five precautionary actions:

Install barriers that control access to water

Create safe spaces for children if water is close by

Build your swimming and water safety skills

Learn how to perform safe rescue and resuscitation

Raise awareness in your community
