I will be 68 on the 16th, which means, I will no longer be six seven! You kids can stop trying to tease me. I bought myself an early present, because there is no chance any body else would buy me this!
A bottle of Lagavulin 8 and a whisky glass.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10
a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

Right now there are three aluminium Lego figures orbiting around Jupiter aboard the Juno spacecraft.

They represent the goddess Juno, the god Jupiter and the astronomer Galileo.

Unlike ordinary LEGO figures, they have no movable parts.

Spinning while I cook dinner. It's been a while since I listened to this. Exceptional for all 4 sides.

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
