Thin end of the wedge?
My alma mater SDUC Lampeter has 'fallen'. They had a Welsh grad course when I was there in the 70's. One does fear that there will be more cuts.

😆 Ah yes! It was underneath and I set it off whilst cleaning. The house is the Boonies and there was a time in the early days when we had the occasional uninvited guest. My Hub leaves them in place when he comes to the UK "just in case". He cracks me up 😁

Polished up the tarnished handles and keyholes on this very old dining room cabinet. And removed quite a lot of muck from the wood. It's shaping up nicely and I feel gooooood!

He's just great, isn't he? The way he paints the light. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it 😍

No you don't, you wuss! 😂I've been both and there's no comparison. 54 is an excellent number, enjoy all that remains of it! 67 is a PRIME number, so it is something to look forward to. So there!
Sending a hug to help take any possible sting out of my words 🤗

Raining now. Hitting the window like glass splintering. Snow'll be gone in the morning. Glad I saw it. I still find it a mainly joyful sight.
