Happy birthday! Your posts make me laugh (or think ‘I’d like some of what he’s on please’)

And to you!

A picture of a dolphin leaping out of the ocean, it is nearly perfectly horizontal, 15 feet above the surface with no visible splash. It could easily be confused with flying upward, with no gravitational return to the sea in the future

our mismanagement of the environment has crossed the point of no return, the dolphins are leaving

Amazing! Wish I’d been there. Have heard him play live quite few times but not the Sibelius.

Yes, that’s the one: am a bit obsessed with it, although have to remember the American spellings!
Spelling bee and Squardle are my favourites, not so good at the number ones. Waffle now has a new number waffle game!

Cluny - in Burgundy. Such a lovely area.

Arches in a courtyard of a French chateau, with a young child in a hat

Beautiful!
Took a similar (but much more amateur!) photo in France last year

Put them back in the fridge and order a takeaway! 😊

Truly, truly, truly disgusting.

Keep this Trumpist race baiting out of British politics.

Happy birthday!

Did A level German (about a hundred years ago) at the same time as Schubert song cycles set work for A level music. Die Schöne Müllerin resonated so hard with my angst-ridden teenage soul! Devastating is a great word for it: wish I’d heard the performance!

My condolences and sending strength x

I find that denial is a good approach to lots of things!

Ha! You might feel differently about the wine in the morning!
Glad you have supportive friends. And some men are definitely worth deleting!

I’m sorry you had an awful day. How are you going to help yourself recover from it?

Could not agree more.
Condolences on your loss.

🙏🙏🙏💕

What a beautiful photo !

My favorite part of reading is when a book gets so good you have to set it down, (finger marking the page), and just let your mind be blown for a minute before picking it back up again.

Came here to say this!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but posting “new year, new me” on social media isn’t gonna fix you. That’s what pretty new notebooks are for obviously

Three main characters from Fringe: Olivia, Peter and Walter

Loved The Expanse. Currently rewatching Fringe for the third time : realised my son had never seen it, which was a great excuse! Some of the best acting by John Noble as Walter Bishop

I just tried to stroke the picture!

That is really interesting- love this kind of stuff!

Fair enough-hard to remember that in wet and dark UK winter. Enjoy the food!

Looks delicious (and I’m jealous of your weather)

Thank you ☺️
Me too- I can see what might make a good photo but don’t know how to set it up.

I like your pic- the light is beautiful.
I took this one in Tenerife in the summer. Two teenagers were chatting by the water for ages as the sun set.
