Ah, I partook in some spontaneous grief crying today! I was buying pineapple chunks, which is an unrelated detail.

Ahaaa, but I know for a fact I am followed by a blind person so if I repost your marvellous post then it’s in their timeline 😮

Ahhh, not the early series, because I don’t like the way Douglas Henshall walks like a puppet. Maybe I’ll have to go back and watch them 🤔

On World Octopus Day please remember that an octopus feels pain. Its heart can be broken. All three of them. When an octopus is attacked, and squirts out ink, it's actually writing a poem in the water, hoping to escape while its attacker is enraptured by the poem’s song of yearning for lost love.

Due to my extreme old age and fragile stage, I can only listen to very soft and gentle music at the moment, like only eating ice cream after having tonsils out. Mashed potato for the ears.
