I can hear my eldest son chatting online and laughing A LOT!
It's nice to hear him happy, but his laugh is the bastard offspring of Roland Rat and Blakey from On the Buses.

What a wonderful hike around the Reservoir Trail in Victoria Park this morning!
Thank you to Truro Pride Society and @hikenovascotia.bsky.social for partnering on this event. We had a lovely coffee break following our active morning hike and two lucky hikers won a Hike NS membership!

I don't know enough about George, but I do know he is young and young offenders need compassion to help change, & while I believe that people have the right to redeem themselves after serving their time, Jolenes answer should have been a flat no to George, for her daughters sake alone.

I never cared much for Coronation Street, but it had its moments and I think Violet Carson (Ena Sharples) was a national treasure.
Coronation Street - written by Jack Rosenthal (16th October 1961). The residents head out on a chara for a day-trip to Blackpool. Both Minnie and Ena (although Ena claims otherwise) are drawn to the ominous utterings of the fortune teller ....

Looks like an ordinary detached houses in Solihull are going for well over a million, so a good sale and with his inheritance could buy Akram well a farm in Ambridge.
Especially if mulligans daughter meets and is charmed by him and his care for the beasts and wants a quick job lot sale

It's been a while since I posted anything about #knitting, but last night I finished the second sleeve and here it is ready to sew in the ends, block and assemble
Pattern is Fell By Martin Storey
I didn't care for the fish motif so replaced that with the other motifs

Happy Anita Bryant pie day
On this day, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was pied in the face by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist.
Bryant had declared about homosexuality “I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.”
Never show tolerance to the intolerant

Ghosts in popular culture and folklore became translucent due to new optical shows, like phantasmagoria and magic lantern that projected luminous images.
A modern ghost might drift, woo and disperse, a medieval ghost would break through the door and beat you to death with the broken planks.

Well, well well, there were two things I didn't expect from todays #TheArchers.
I didn't expect anyone to turn up to Georges party.
I didn't expect Amber Brad and George to form a polycule before Ruairi, Paul and Ben.

Finally a sensible storyline in #TheArchers
Brian sees sense, acknowledges that Adam is knocking on 60, his daughters are settled, but Ruari - the obvious heir - needs to learn and be mentored by a competent farm and land manager, by Stella
At last a shift away from silly high drama in #Ambridge
