How do you watch the next reel (video) that is part of a sequence of reels on Facebook.
So if you click on a reel you can watch it and then random ones after. But some just a small part of a bigger series, such as repairing an old car.
But you can't go to the next one.

Went kayaking today we saw 2 seals, one who was interested in us.
Also saw a small grey dolphin who was so interested it changed course and swam under the kayaks. Cute.
Okains Bay is so nice. Will be back to cycle some of the dirt roads around it.

Fact for today: Canada has climbed from 4th to 2nd in the latest international reputation rankings. The US has dropped dramatically, from 30th to 48th among the 60 top economies. Switzerland ranks first, Russia last. The rankings are often a factor in country investment decisions.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

Just got new glasses and wearing them for the first time.
Do people without glasses always see color so bright and sharp?
It's like I am looking at 4k TV in real life.

So many townhouses have been built in our area recently that a lot of mature trees have been removed.
As a result I was woken about 5am this morning by a dawn chorus of evicted birds that have decamped to our trees on the roadside.
It's becoming sparrow central.

Totally put my foot in it 20 mins ago.
Wife called neighbors over when she found their cat dead in our garden.
Their last cat also died there.
To inject some levity and cover my awkwardness I said..
"What is it with the neighbors cats dying in our garden?"
Everyone now hates me

With all respect to Kenny Rodgers.
I wouldn't trust the word of a gambler who is so poor he had to bum a cigarette and drank the last drink in a bottle, then died.
Advice like that is hardly worth having.

Many homes are being demolished in urban renewal, and that is a good thing. Old homes really do reach a used by date, hard to heat, poorly insulated, and need frequent repairs.
However its sad to see 100 year old homes, with so many life stories of their inhabitants wiped away so easily.
