Ben can move to Canada, we are desperate for qualified nurses.
In fact many provinces have special immigration streams for healthcare professionals.

some of these clues have incorrect answers

I ran out of characters, I know Sean had a partner in life and business, Peter.

Doing a bit of dusting of the spare room bookshelves and came across this old gem.

Anyone remember former thesbian and knitwear model Lawrence "Call me Larry love" Lovell and Sean Meyerson, captain of the cricket team, landlord of the Cat and Fiddle and only gay in the village #theArchers

I think they have been watching old episodes of Dynasty

I completely agree, but I think there is no way that Brian will hand over the farm to Adam, and Kate isn't interested in anything but herself, so Alice will be the compromise, because she will take advice from Adam and Stella.

#TheArchers prediction
Brians war with Justin and hypocrisy re food production/letting the BL wheat rot, combined with his current anger outbursts will spur on an Adam lead ("He's losing it, we'll lose everything") family coup, leading to Alice taking over Home farm, to Adams dismay - shenanigans

Sadly a bit short for a group hike but a lovely trail. #hike #LGBTOutdoors #gayhike

Quite shocking sun this morning, phone camera doesn't quite get the full effect, but this is it zoomed in and no filters.

The amount of particles in the atmosphere from the wildfires out west must be massive

Why are we called "OutsidePride" and what does Adrian hope we will achieve? #hike #LGBTOutside

Trail in Victoria Park

Loved the moss under the trees

Not much water flowing in the waterfalls right now

Taking a breather. Two guys and one black lab.

Scoping out future #hike locations. #LGBTOutdoors #VictoriaPark

Nice to be back at #parkrun after missing last week to run Nasty Nuttby.
Even nicer is that the heat and humidity have dropped considerably, which lately has made running a chore rather than fun. Time is improving, avg pace is better week in week, and I think I will have a new PR by years end.

You see, I own 51% of Colbyco, and if the board doesn't like my plans, they are free to resign.

Thoughtful of our local mall to provide a public urinal

A reliable group of volunteers is essential. Parkrun runs on them.

We now leave navigation to our phones. The result: more of us are getting hopelessly lost | John Harris The blue dot of GPS has cut us off from a basic human skill. It’s no wonder mountain rescuers are being called out so often, asks Guardian columnist John Harris

The take away is, if you are going off trail, have a compass and paper map (and know how to use them).

A skill I know I used to have from many years hiking in the Lake District and Isle of Man as a youngling, however, I'm confident that it's now rusty to the point of lost now.

‘Anything Roman, I’m fascinated’: hiking Hadrian’s Wall with a Muslim women’s walking group Adventuring group the Wanderlust Women organises hikes through the Amazon rainforest, climbs up Mount Everest and treks to the high Arctic. Their latest expedition? A chance to soak up dramatic scener...

Amira created the Wanderlust Women in 2020 and since, has taken scores of women on trips across the UK and abroad, bonding through faith and challenging the stereotype of the “typical” #hiker.

“We #walk proudly outside because it is our place to be, it’s everyone’s place to be.

Trail on the edge of a ravine. Sunshine through the trees. Wooden guard railed fence on the right of picture.

Barriers to stop vehicles entering at the trail head. Signpost and trees. Sunshine through the trees creating "dappled shade".

Old white guy with beard in passenger seat and a golden and black dog in the back seat of a vehicle. The man is smiling, the black dog has her tongue lolling out of her mouth.

Shade in the foreground, sunshine in the distances on a gravel path. Gates and a car can be seen in the distance. Sunny day. Grass on one side and trees a little further back. Trees on the right hand side of the trail.

We checked out a nice easy trail for one of our next events this morning. Looking forward to #hiking this trail with friends.

Why are LGBTQ+ people more likely to be lonely? LGBTQ+ people are more likely to be lonely than cis-het people. This loneliness can stem from a variety of factors: we’re more likely to be disconnected from our families, or have problems finding other people like us who we can connect with.. LGBTQ+ people are also more likely to face discrimination due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, which can lead to feelings of isolation and difficulties getting close to other people. Older LGBTQ+ people may experience heightened loneliness and feelings of disconnection from a queer community that’s increasingly centered around young folks. That is, older queer folks may no longer want to go to LGBTQ+ clubs, bars, pubs, etc., but find themselves unable to find a replacement community where they can connect with their peers.

According to the World Health Organization, loneliness is linked to approximately 100 deaths every hour. UK charity, LGBTHero identifies loneliness as more acute in the queer community. We want to help reduce #loneliness in the #LGBTQ community and bring more #QueerJoy from being active and outside!

I love how the left and right leaning increases shape and define the shoulder on this t-shirt, leavinh a really beautiful edge.

I am so very proud of my husband who took on his cancer diagnosis with a positivity that I know I could never match.

His commitment to supporting other men with prostate cancer is inspirational. If you can spare a few dollars, consider helping him help the Canadian Cancer Society to help others.

Ugh, I meant definitely, not defiantly.

That said my commitment to rerun this while feeling a distinct runners high may be in defiance of common sense.

Today I ran the Nasty Nuttby 5k #run, over 200m of vert in hot sun. Absolutely bloody brilliant, I am defiantly doing that again next year. First in my age category and a 35:50 time, which was a lot faster than I expected.
I missed #parkrun for it, but I don't regret it.

I am sick to my back teeth of constant Amber, it feels around about the same time I got sick of constant Rochelle

She is clearly the Rochelle (disruptor) replacement and I can't wait for this storyline to play out and they can roll in the new annoying character to rock Ambridge.

And you save us huge amounts from unnecessary charges

I think Jolene set them up, not sure. Martyn gives me the ick.

This would be the same Stella who wasn't keen on being called mummy by Rosie, but is equally annoyed that she isn't being treated like a co parent by Pip?

Well, what a day to have ears to hear. A post coital, trouserless Martyn Gibson. Bring back the shower scene between Jolene and Sid, all is forgiven.

I want more community, I want more outdoor activity, to meet new people and enjoy ourselves! #hike #LGBTOutdoors #NovaScotia

I don't believe it for a second, I'm starting to think that every single thing about Amber is fabricated for content. She thrives on causing disruption in other peoples lives, and then turns it into attention on her "socials".
