They are some of the best geocaches I've found...except the one inside the tummy of a rubber rat in a wall in the depths of Lancashire ๐Ÿ˜‚. Spectacular (and quiet) at sunset.

Oh it's a great place to raise the heart rate where there's kids, climbing and big drops! Some fab geocaches if your niece likes a free treasure hunt. Great for bunny photos as the sun is going down too ๐Ÿ˜Š

Urgh! That makes my six hours of AI training next month sound palatable.

Bet that's brilliant Bleu! Opera voices are overrated ๐Ÿ˜‚
Performing is my nightmare so I've never done karaoke despite being able to hold a tune.

I'd have faked an emergency phone call and exited ๐Ÿ˜‚

Despite sensing sarcasm, I have no doubt you could pull that off!

๐Ÿ˜ฎ. I will try this! Cheese or gravy first?

Yup. And the world without art and artists would be colourless. Undervalued skill and so good for therapy and mental health too. It's a soap box I will die on!

It's a chips and gravy lunchtime. Yes, today is going that well. People are exhausting ๐Ÿ˜‚

Photograph taken on Manchester's Canal Street. Huge spray painted yellow and black bee in flight with gossamer wings against the whitewashed wall of a pub. Thin sliver of the pub's leaded glass windows on the right hand side.

Photograph of the centre of a pale yellow rose taken from the side. Bright orange centre with a jumble of deep cream/gold stamens and large pale yellow petals. Deep green foliage behind.

Taken at Speke Hall, Liverpool. One of the last roses flowering profusely.

Don't apologise! It would make a cracking plot wouldn't it?

Sturdy defence tactics though - I'll remember that. Although, I hope everyone is always lovely to you and it remains a plan only ๐Ÿ˜Š
