Do the long distance coaches go down there too, on the way to Victoria?

Cowboyface is not a laughing matter, even if the show is set in space.

That mustache was highly insulting.

Ffs, I wish I'd known sooner ๐Ÿ™ƒ
Of course, I went to the other store, and yes, there was a shelf full there too!!!

Looks like my collection might fill up quicker than expected!

Had to go to Middlesbrough to visit a bank (in person! The idea!).
Popped into Cex/Entertainment Exchange on the off-chance of Who DVDs...

At the desk: "Oh! Are you the guy who keeps buying loads of these?"
Me: "No?"
Server: "Oh, we get loads of these, they're always selling".

Oh fuck, I'm so sorry, I should have looked back over your post history.

A lot of people around the world love you & Puca tho.

Poor guy.

Oh no, not Puca. He's the cutest dude!
I really really hope this is a weird blip โค๏ธ
If it helps, Hooch had rare occasions when he was similar, I think he'd eaten something or ingested something that was *not good* for him. He cleared up after a day or so tho

Shine, I'm sending you both all my love.

Playmobil Romans digging a marching camp in a garden border.

Feeling very spring-like in Norfolk today, & the bulbs are coming up, so my annual reminder to keep a vigilant eye out for these #GardenPests building marching camps, little gravel roads, fortified walls & villas in your borders. A Roman #PlaymobilInfestation can be difficult to control, butโ€ฆ(1of2)

Its an easy thing, and somewhat logical, to load something with a lot of importance and make it feel a lot bigger, I guess?

I'm very much here to help if I can, even if it's just to be a cheer leader x

I think I found myself planning further ahead than a few hours, and tried to lean into that, find and work towards stuff to look forward to.

I get that its easier to say than do tho, and you didn't ask for advice (sorry).

Mr S is an excellent judge of character tho, so I believe in you too x

I've been there, Sam. I 100% get it (I think). Although mine was the dog for a couple of years.
Any excuse to see tomorrow is a good one x
Sending my love; you are valid, you are talented, you are worthy, you are good. I'll believe it for you, if needed x

A black and white aerial photograph taken by Alfred G. Buckham around 1920. The image shows a biplane flying high above a city, which is identified in the context as Edinburgh. A prominent castle, Edinburgh Castle, is visible on a rocky outcrop in the foreground, with the city stretching out below and a hilly landscape in the distance. The sky is dramatic, with large, fluffy clouds and a sense of atmosphere. The overall tone is historic and cinematic.

Also on our sample, we see the portside, where packet steamers and assorted ships would arrive from Holyhead, often linking up with the railway station.

Holyhead 1923.
A port town dependent on political travel between England & Ireland, almost at the moment this map was released the Irish Free State was created & the townโ€™s port became almost redundant. The town faced a long fight for survival. #Anglesey

Todayโ€™s map is full & fascinating, Richard Oliverโ€™s introduction is an excellent history; mentioning the influence of the Palk family in the development of the town, the port visit of Napoleon & a useful precis of what can be seen today.

Renewables create lots of middle income jobs instead of concentrating wealth in the hands of a tiny number of people - & the power that comes with that concentration of wealth is not something the ultra-rich are keen to give up
