The U.K. and Ireland (The Irish drink Guinness below room temperature, but tend to drink the beer warm like the brits).

Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck from the classic Warner Brothers cartoons. Elmer (dressed as a hunter) is holding a gun and while the barrel is pointed at the ground he is showing poor gun safety by having his finger on the trigger. He is staring at Daffy Duck who has his arms crossed and is clearly lecturing Elmer. Between them (though a few steps to to the left of both so as not to be in direct firing range) is Bugs Bunny who is standing casually with his hands on his hips and a calm expression indicating that he does not feel threatened by the outcome of Daffy's lecture. An Iconic trio inded.

A more iconic trio you say?

Thinking back to my youth:

"Eat your Pigeon, when I was a chick we'd dream of eating Pigeon regularly!"

"Think of the starving chicks in China who'd love some Pigeon, and here you are complaining about it!"

Heavens, that looks worse than down this way (we're 12°C, feels like 6)! Lousy weather all round.

Looks worse down your way!

A picture from the barn balcony showing paddocks and trees on tge horizon musted by rain. Overhead the sky is grey with no break in the clouds.

Ah spring in sw Victoria! Honestly it's a wet one this year.

Luck played a large part, but thank you my friend!

Snap on the SQW and commiserations on the Wordle, it was a tricky one today!

Luck to all!

Or Howard, Gina, or Clive. The field is wide open.

As with Robyn, 1 each today. There is balance.☯️

Oh you don't seriously think I'm going to touch that line do you? 🤣🤣🤣

A weather report stating it's mostly cloudy and 13 degrees Celsius, feels like 12.

Proving your point Robyn! Here's the weather down this way, and I'm not going out without a windcheater and a jacket. Still, rather this than the summer heat any day!

Might be the Kiwi influence, but you're obviously of hardier stock than me! 🤣🤣

But for luck I'd be joining you my friend (and that it's way too cold down here for ice cream)!

"Maybe sir would prefer the suit in blue rather than brown then?"

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Robyn, I got very lucky with guess 2!

Same here. 😂

A view from my balcony of the climbing roses showing them blooming vigourously.

Despite some harsh (but needed) pruning and a cold wet spring the climbing roses are starting out on the front foot this year.

A scam message informing me my bluesky account has been temporarily suspended due to "security related restrictions", and that I should click on a dubious link to resolve this. Needless to say it's a scam from a scam account. If you get one of these messages report and block, do NOT click on the link.

And the latest scam has found its way into my chat. Needless to say it's been reported, blocked and deleted.

One each today Robyn, and so the balance is maintained. ☯️ Almost had a SQW snap, but fell victim to an anagram (as happens). Well done you!🤗
