Moving from the other place is stressful at my age, and have been worrying about what my first post should say about me (mad, I know!!).
Just been sent this pic, of my youngest granddaughter on her fifth birthday - it says everything about me - old and proud 😊

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Hidden inside a little cavern, accessed by scrambling over some stepping stones to try & keep dry feet, and often overlooked in favour of its bigger, more famous neighbour, is Gljúfrabúi (=canyon dweller) for #WaterfallWednesday and #WeekIforInside! #Iceland 🇮🇸

A tall waterfall falls in a narrow Canyon. A large wet rock is in the bottom right foreground. Usually photos of this foss will have someone standing on the rock but on this occasion it was icy so we didn't try!
