why justin has been so seemingly ambivalent about the wild release in ambridge
Delighted by this story of a rogue beaver in Norfolk. Particularly the line - At first he wondered whether “some small boy with an axe had somehow found his way into the woodland.” And the concept of ‘beaver bombing’.

unsurprisingly i agree with sam. we stand with trans people.
Once more preaching to the choir (I hope):
If GC people were really concerned about women's safety and rights, they'd be focusing on this, not persecuting a minority in an effort to scrub them from existence.

this is why we sit nice and close to her on the sofa, so she cannot see what we are up to quite so clearly.
Taking my specs off to try to gauge whether these screws are the same kind of size as the arm screws makes me realise how much my close vision has changed in the past couple of years.
Thank goodness I have two pairs. Can't imagine trying to repair either without the others to see what I'm doing.

hatch is a most excellent chap. worth the admission price alone.
Have you seen our dog?
If not, you should, he's awesome!
'Hatch', a terrier/whippet cross, was found outside the carpenter's cabin, and was the ship's ratter. He was also a good boy. Yes, he was.

it is a month until sams birthday. which may explain why she came back from getting the milk with some extra strong cheddar "for the xmas cheese stars", a stollen, and two blocks of butter ("if you buy one extra each visit you never have to worry about people rush buying").
