No probs, was awake anyway. You cheer me up.

Sorry. Anything I can do?

Could have seen them in Edinburgh if I wasn't busy having a baby.

I'm glad you couldn't.

It's disappointing, but we're at the end of a long January & don't have much cash to spare. Happy to contribute when I can. Subscription/paywall sounds a good idea, but risks preaching to the converted and missing those who would otherwise not investigate on their own. You do a great job. Try again.

There's a story there.

Well done. I don't buy acrylic, polyester or nylon 'wool' any more for that same reason.

I certainly won't be visiting. We had a wonderful trip to Canada a few months ago and met some lovely Americans. Pretty sure none of them were MAGA, though.

Does my Brownie badge for Invading Other Countries count?

DICK GAUGHAN Both Sides The Tweed, with Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham YouTube video by John Cunningham

Listening to this a lot right now. I look forward to when "friendship and honour unite / and flourish on both sides the Tweed" Neighbours, not serfs.

I can't stand squishy scrambled eggs, so I do mine like this. I probably do it for a bit longer, though, as I *really* have a problem with undercooked eggs. Bordering on phobia. Can't even watch my man eat runny yolks.

Just watched the film Nuremberg. America, please, you need to watch this.

I do love a mackerel sky. Thank you.

Happy New Year to those who've already had and those who have yet to have it. Be kind.

Here's my Christmas Kraken, from hubby. He gets me.

Looks like they're gazing right back.

Has my increasingly bad eyesight coined a new phrase for our time? I saw the latest Piers Morgan book on a shelf today, claiming the demise of 'woke'. The tag line was supposed to read 'How common sense triumphed in an age of total madness.' I read 'gammon sense.'

People who don't sleep have a tendency towards mental problems.

There may be snow on the roof...

Wonder how long it took to get the stripes on his tie so perfectly lined up.

I see your rice pudding and I raise you
Rugboller

I don't understand what so many people hear when he opens his mouth. Is it a choir of heavenly angels? Or is it just blank space which their minds fill with entirely different words?

Mål! Well done, Scotland. 3mins in. #scotlandvdenmark

What?

Sounds like you're experiencing MAG(A)LEV.
Hope you can generate enough power to lift your cold, fix your appliances and sweep the orange turd into the NY storm drain he came out of, to be eaten by alligators.

Even Blackbeard loved folding things.

'Ye see yon birkie, ca'd a lord,
Wha struts and stares and a' that;
Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
He's but a coof for a' that.'

Great if you're a leg man.

Did he hurt his wrist?

That has cheered me up no end this morning. Well done, Cærfili.
