I'll never forget the time I went into a pub in Skipton, and as I was waiting to be served a local came up to me and remarked how much I looked like Harold Shipman......

Thanks for that ......

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. It's vital that this terrible, dark piece of world history is never forgotten.
It is the responsibility of every generation to ensure this is never allowed to happen again.

Really wasn't feeling the mood for swimming this morning - but am glad I went!

Occasionally I write a bit of poetry on a blog called "W is for Duck"

Here's my most recent offering:

#poetry #fridaypoem

By the way, are hashtags a thing here??

If Monday was a nightmare,
And Tuesday made you cry.
If Wednesday treated you horribly
And you really don't know why.
If Thursday thought it would be fun
To do you serious harm,
Take comfort that it's the weekend,
And have a hug from Friday's arms.

For more poems, Google "W is for Duck"

So, my first post here (Post? Flutter? Cloudburst?, what is the correct term?), so I'd better make it a good one:

Did you know?

If you hold a squirrel up to your ear, you can hear EXACTLY what it sounds like to be attacked by a squirrel.

There, that sets the tone nicely.
