Solvitur ambulando is my favourite Latin phrase. It means "it is solved by walking".

Re: mystery hour Guinness question
This is a BBC archive of the last pub in Belfast to use two barrels to pour a pint of plain (Guinness was done similarly). It is an amazing video, it is an incredible mix of poetry, sadness and nostalgia.

Eva is almost done with the first shedding season.
People who don’t have Labradors think they shed all the time but they actually only lose a lot of fur twice a year. The first season is January to June, the second is July to December. No shedding at all otherwise.

Still powerless in this part of #nefife (32 hrs and counting) - but we have a stove, an Aga and candles so better off than many.
Mobile signal came back this afternoon, so feeling less cut off from the world.
And generator now running the essentials of fridge, freezer and broadband router!
