Woke and in favour of a functioning NHS and criminal justice system, benefits for the less fortunate, decency and honesty. So delighted to have got rid of the Tories #FBPE

Walked friend's dogs today, but back to Suffolk tomorrow via Newton Abbot to visit an old friend with very advanced MS.

I know gov petitions have little effect, but I've drafted one because it might just get some traction from gov and media to persuade people off Musk's shitter.
It's not yet submitted, so let me know of any improvements (bearing in mind limits on no of characters)
And is it worth the effort?

The Long Walk in Windsor is being blockaded against any potential protests prior to Trump's visit.
The parade is in the home park, inaccessible to the public.
Everyone knows how deeply unwelcome he is.

I don't know how well you know the rias altas, but I will forever think of Ares as the wet place. Having returned to boat and changed to dry clothing, we went ashore again to encounter their "Bull Run".
Another dowsing!
But how joyous

We crossed from bel isle to Cedeira a week ago. Basically fine, but the swell was really messy.
Cedeira to Ferrol move coincided with an orca contact within a mile at same time - nothing heard on C16.
Crew/passenger changes, so currently pottering and in Coruna now

No problems crossing Biscay apart from a messy swell, but a simple slipway landing was too challenging and carefully protected phone in pocket was fucked.
Now on new phone. Hello all, how you doing?

Looks very pretty - but surely a sheet bend performs the same function?
Meanwhile, I have invented the Biscay melon knot..

Though more usually a surname. Mum came up with Orlando.
I think this was to head dad off.
