Well nail wraps are essentially stickers, so I can’t take too much credit. But they are the future I think. Kind to nails. Easy to apply, they last and remove without damage.

Agreed. Completely.
Their message is insidious.
The blanket headline policies that seem to offer easy answers to complex problems win over many who were previously disenfranchised or disheartened by politics.
Don’t get me started on flags…

Living in a neighbouring council I worry a lot about the rise of Reform. The blanket belief by a section of society that they are the answer. Hell no.

That sounds like a win! 😀
Sausage for breakfast here too. I’ve rather fallen for the pork, truffle & Parmesan ones I’ve discovered in M&S. 😋

What a sight they must have been, in the moonlight, back then. Before modern light 💡
Reminds me of the small white stones in the streets of Pompeii reflecting moon light. 🌙

Good call. I’d almost forgotten about that Low album.
I’ll be honest, it’s too soon for me to play Christmas stuff. But I am a bit bah humbug. 😂
But I’m a big fan of any playlist that avoids the standard ‘pop classics’. 🎄
