Two more calls...

Managed to speak to someone about this... another hour on the phone that I won't get back.
Daring to dream that the end may be in sight though

Just flogged through this myself. The only consolation is that a friend who banks with Lloyds says that they are even worse!

My bus fare to school was 3d, I liked that you could stand it up.
After 1971 it became 1p. Much less fun for a small child.

If love and acceptance have felt out of reach, I hope this image invites you to reconsider that story.

For those who don’t struggle with it, I hope it affirms what you already know.

My lawn is on the way to becoming a peat bog

I have a lot of important things to do, and the time to do them.

So I'm sat here eating cheese.

Completely unnecessary.

Small crowd watching a boat go through the canal lock this afternoon. Quite common in tourist season, but not so much in February! 🀷

Blimey. Luckily still got the uniform grey sky here. Hope you're ok πŸ™

It passed over here briefly about half an hour ago. Some sort of alien spaceship?

Drivers are required to have functional eyes. They just need the sense to use them.

Sorry to be that guy!

Damp mordy creepit from behile the darklymost gloom of night.

No sunshile, as cloudboles deposy more raindropples, all trickly-how onto squelchit lawns and tappity-tap on umbrellodes like Gene Kelly. Folly folly.

On the plus side, puddle-stampy.

Deep joy!

And I'm well aware that they're both incredible talents, and I'd have loved to have been there to hear them sharing a stage.

Ok, apologies.
What I thought was a funny comment on the look on his face in the picture clearly wasn't.
Happy to delete.

It was!
I enjoyed exploring different traditions, and deliberately returned to the Anglican church where they were (almost!) all accepted

Please do it.
Thanks.

I think Wrexham to Liverpool was one of them, so maybe we can hope...?
