So is Trump going to stop the BBC and defund #TheArchers with his £1b lawsuit?

When my other half has had Covid (twice) he’s been really poorly.
Finally persuaded him to book a private Covid vaccine from Boots, £99. I’m getting one too.
Neither of us qualify for NHS vaccine. We’re lucky we can find the funds.

No photos of Minnie recently, she was bitten on her right back leg and has been having VET treatment. She’s starting to feel a little better, so here’s a pic of her relaxing (I’ve cropped the picture to exclude the gruesome wound).

Does anyone else find it fascinating that Americans are protesting “No Kings” against their tyrannical President, when it’s our King and constitution which stops our Prime Minister from making themselves a tyrannical King?

Cucumber, I can taste the bitterness of cucurbitin
I’ll never watch Dead Poets Society again. Loved it as a teenager, don’t want to ruin it.
Song I can’t stand is Imagine by Lennon

I wonder where in Scotland the Archer-Bellamy-Aldridge holiday baronial pile is? Have I guessed correctly? #TheArchers
That’s exactly what would happen in real life. However this is #TheArchers so I wonder which UK agricultural area the BBC thinks needs a “tourism boost” / public service announcement.
The Black Isle, Scotland is my guess. Beautiful area, lots of farms / bird watching / seaside.

Hunters lunch at The Fox Inn at Corfe Castle village. OH was very happy with this spread, including deep fried gherkins, which I am told were delicious. The food here in #Dorset has been consistently excellent in quality.
