Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

A ewe looking out from behind a tree. It has black ears, one with a yellow tag, one with a red tag. There are distinctive black eyebrows and black chin. The face strongly resembles a badger, the coloured tags give a punk effect.

I remember The Who at Charlton Athletic's ground as the best gig I've seen. I guess they'd improved by 1978 - or is my recollection mellowed by the scrumpy 🍻 the Somerset lads were sharing.
