Bit tired of living through major historical events


(No DMs if we've not engaged on main site)
Can and will repeatedly heartily recommend these
With (ahem) Christmas around the corner, may I divert your gaze to my lino prints. Lots of sea and food themed prints.

I carve the lino, and it’s all hand pressed by me. Prints are A4 or A5 size, so easy to frame and gift.

Thanks for supporting a small creative business 🩵

Yay!
It’s a boy! On Wednesday, our Voi team awoke to the best surprise: Naipoki had given birth to her first baby. As is tradition among our ex-orphans, she immediately journeyed home to celebrate with the people who raised her.

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company."

The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

In the park, Mme ponders life & weather warnings grimly. A happy dog approaches in greeting, halts & stares at some bushes intently.

Mme: ?
Dog's Young Lad: Squirrel or rat by 'ere (then, excitedly) Squirrel! There's 2!
Mme & he watch them together
DYL: This stuff makes your day, don't it?

It did.

How do you tell your in their 70s parents that you love them dearly but them opening every conversation with how ill/dying their friends are, or how ill/dying their friends' kids (who happen to be around your age) are is a real bummer?

The natural wonder of countryside where I live always inspires my thoughts to folklore and history, and every season it points me in a different direction. It’s a magical place, it really is. #valeroyal #cheshire #davenham #moulton
