Wouldn't like to be behind this when it puts its afterburners on! 😄

1st of November and I've just seen the first Christmas advert of the year 🙄 (Asda, in case anyone's interested).

I really despair sometimes, when, with everything else going on in the country, the lead item on the main evening news is a change of management at a football club. 🙄

Loved hearing AC/DC's Thunderstruck on the radio this morning, one of my favourite tracks. I just wish that the first second or so of Brian's vocals didn't sound like Pinky and Perky! 😄

If a unified ID is necessary for all UK citizens, surely providing passports free of charge would be magnitudes cheaper than outsourcing a new digital ID system from scratch.

But it's not about what's actually necessary is it?

Weather like this makes it a bit difficult to get a good night's sleep in a loft conversion bedroom. Sounds like Niagara Falls right overhead.

I have been unable to move into a fully staffed mansion complete with swimming pool and a fleet of cars due to lack of funding 😄

Forgot to post at the time, but on Thursday at Tyninghame beaches I saw my first swallow/swift/martin of the year! It flitted by too quickly to photograph, or to be 100% sure of which species it was, but it was definitely one of the three.

Yes, it's the bringing them back again that's the waste 😄

Jack, you're so right and privatisation is sneaking in. Would you be willing to sign and share this petition to make covid vaccinations free again? (Instead of £99.) I have long covid, it totally sucks, so I want to protect other people from getting it. Thanks! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
Petition: Fund Covid booster vaccines for all, with priority for Long Covid sufferers
Long Covid can ruin lives and cause financial hardship so we believe the Government must try to prevent new Covid infections. We want free Covid booster vaccines for all and Long Covid sufferers shoul...

These are one of two pairs of slippers that I knitted in the yarn I posted about a couple of weeks ago. Very cosy, just need to add the leather soles 🙂
