Well, it’s got a castle on it and the castle didn’t look very big in the picture. And we couldn’t see the edges of the island. So it might be small but it’s not tiny.

I find it irritating when people follow me just so that I’ll follow them. I’m not talking about someone with a shared interest even if we don’t know each other, but people with 10s of 1000s of people that they follow and nothing obviously in common with me.οΏΌ It takes the social out of social media.οΏΌ

There haven't been many #SunlightThroughTrees days so far in 2026, so my #SmallBeautiesHour are a heated throw and cosy socks and delicious coffees from Christmas present beans; daydreaming about brighter days for they will come #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Now, what are my survival skills? I can put up a tent, start a fire (cooking only, no arson), wash dishes in cold water, grow vegetables… I could write an anthem? #TheARCHERS (oops)

We could get a marker and change one letter (to save money) and rename it Shula Island!

I think the boat dependency is pretty much the thing with islands.

People coming off weight-loss injections risk fast weight gain
Overweight people shed large amounts on jabs but gain 0.8 kg a month on average once off them, study shows.

Right, because who needs privacy to study, sleep, and stay sane when all they are doing is being a student, anyway?
