Pennsylvania, English, fire truck
(I didn’t realise that this was one US English had stuck around with me but replies have made that evident!)

I genuinely don’t think there’s a single other word that catches me out like this. Every time I pick it up my mind goes blank and my brain just repeats ‘or-REG-ano? Ora-GONE-oh?’

Neighbours across the road have an AirTag on their cat, which was very lucky when she snuck in past the guy painting our front door (while we were in the US…)

At the pub quiz tonight the quizmaster briefly looked at his phone and started to give us an update, and then paused to reassure us we weren’t at war. This was somehow not all that reassuring?

I moved when I was 14 so had very rarely actually used the clicky thing, but then still had a real moment of confusion a few years later when I started fuelling in the UK. Had to double check I wasn’t missing something/having a weird memory moment and that it was just missing…

Could be a cat, could be some kind of demon.

No trouble at all…

The kittens came home less than a week ago and are here showing that they are clearly perfect angels who would never cause any trouble.

I remember learning this for my Life in the UK test, thinking ‘I should look into that’ and then evidently immediately forgot about it entirely for the past 10 years…

I’ve not actually known all that many others tbh, but most have been one of the two. (I did know someone who was double-barrelled from her parents’ names and then dropped one to double barrel with her husband when they got married. Always wondered how that discussion went with the parents!)

We both double barrelled when we got married. (I was open to any option except for me being the only one to change my name so that’s what we settled on.) Luckily we had names that worked!

I would say not very, but then I would say that wouldn’t I? 🙃

🍇 🍊 🥑 I mean I guess I could throw in a bit of that too…

🍕 🍟 🍝 🍳 🧀 🎂 That’s all the major food groups right?!

That photo was taken shortly after we phoned the vet, because he told us that it was time.

He was my first pet as an adult, and Mr G-W’s first ever pet, and we really thought we still had years left with him. He went downhill so quickly and we weren’t ready (we never would have been ready).

I had (loosely - we were rural and she was semi-feral) a cat named No Name as a kid. She started out as ‘that little white cat with no name’ and it gradually shortened down…

I went for a row in my single the other night and I think 90% of the hour or so I was on the water I was just singing this to myself.
