It felt very cold too, took my mind off it taking pictures.

It was surprisingly cold today but really magical with the sunlight through the trees.

Absolutely. First edict is of course compulsory festive balaclavas for all.

You'll unwrap it and look grateful or Christmas day is ruined.

One size only. Not my fault if the eye holes don't match your eyes.

I did wonder what they'd do with the animal collection. Perhaps the seal has been moved to a less action packed scene somewhere.

We were bussed there annually with school and it's a fond childhood memory.

The market has lots of small independent food stalls however you'd be eating outdoors/on your feet unless you can find a seat on the Haymarket. There used to be a nice one in the arcade too.

Education would help people critique and analyse what they are seeing from the onslaught of barely factual social media and 'influencers' with wacky opinions.

Snap with the shower room, that was a new addition (we think) but the bathroom itself is rubbish. Usable but awful. Only the dog uses the bath 🤣

Time is elastic here too but like you say, it doesn't matter, it gets done in the end. Bathroom is next on the to do list, it's very 90s and has been slam dunked into place. Hats off learning the language also I find that challenging.

I enjoy the heat up to about 30º then I don't 😂 Getting sorted here, nearly 3yrs now and only just got the kitchen done. No regrets moving, loving it here. Have you settled in? It'll be 2yrs for you as well I'd say?

Oo didn't know about the fires. There's been freak heat this summer too. Are you a fan? (Of the heat)
