My Grandad also had a yacht (he often moored at Torremolinos in Southern Spain when it was just a fishing village).
We’re doing well, but nowhere near owning a yacht.

Oh that’s very sad. I’m glad her passing was peaceful. I hope you get some time over the next few weeks be able to reflect on Nessa’s lovely life with your family. Look after each other. x

You go girl, and this applies for your WHOLE LIFE - you’ll never be this young ever again.
Even when you’re 40, you’ll never be that young again. 💜

Just be glad you’re not old enough to know. My Nan used to like his piano music.

Scriptwriters lulling us into a false sense of family coziness before the nursery tell Chris and Alice that they have some developmental concerns about their child *.
*hard day at work, I listened to today’s episode - but I can’t remember their child’s name! #Urgh #TheArchers

In the UK they’re called Black Poplars. There are fewer than 100 Black Poplar trees in the UK. There is one in our neighbours garden which fluffs into our garden (pic) in July.
Apparently the fluff is highly flammable.

I found it! This is about the only heron I’ve ever found in a @soapywittank.bsky.social heron photo.

Not only will he avoid the stamp duty mentioned, but as he’ll presumably be paying her rent, so he can then claim it back as MP’s expenses.

My brother the tree surgeon wears industrial ear defenders because of the noise chainsaws make.
He might be able to fit wireless earbuds underneath, but he couldn’t click a button on a device to answer a call with Kevlar (chainsaw proof) gloves on. 🌳

In linguistics they have fossil words (like when we say “On tenter hooks”, but don’t really know what tenter means, so it’s fossilised in the saying.
So are these fossils too?

Brother is tree surgeon, one hand on the rope the other holding the chainsaw with Kevlar gloves on means you can’t really hold or use a phone.
Brother’s phone dropped out of his pocket once, and that’s dangerous for ground workers.

Oh, so sad to hear your furry friend Bruno died. It hurts so much when they go and it will do for a long while. He was the best cat and you’ll always have the memories of him being a fluffy pain in the backside.

If you fit a Colgate toothpaste tube flip-top lid to a Primula cheese spread tube, you can train your dog 🐕 in the park using primula cheese as a reward.

I would quite like to see this expressed as % world population (of the time) lost to famine over the years.

Oh yes I forgot about Ruairi’s sexuality. Rex is the doe eyed boat one - I was hoping he’d be distracted from vegan Rochelle. I just want everyone to be happy!

I love the way you call it your lamppost. Glad the Harry Potter style forehead scar was the only long term effect.

Aww not used to cushions?
When I was a child we had a swing seat in the garden with a big tarpaulin over it to keep the rain off.
Local cats used it as a safe dry place during the day.
