Glad that my grill is shaded in the afternoon. Bring on the sausages!

Certainly, no one has ever called me that. 😆

As a Timothy I feel...disturbed.

My god, that South Park episode about Trump (and the death of woke, and religion in public US life, and Paramount, etc) was truly funny.

The little eyes and mouth...😂

Huge boom (presumably a transformer blowing), all power goes out, everyone in my street steps outdoors at the same time.

Might as well go for a walk!
