With all the news about Grok I suddenly thought I’d better go to my dormant account on X and delete any picture that has a photo of a child.
Should I also do adults?
Have also deleted views from my house.
Thinking Facebook isn’t safe either.
What a world!

There’s a lot of plants in my garden that are really confused.
So sorry, hay fever’s no joke.

Team effort I’d like to think, but he would have got the flack if it hadn’t worked.

Thank you, that’s beautiful.
It’s the skylark that gets me every time, more than the poppies. It always reminds me of the most peaceful summer days, such a contrast to the ugliness of war.

Clear out toys now!

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

I want to have 500 sound effects in this pack but I've got to 335 and run out of things around the house to record / hit my skill limit on digital sfx. Any ideas for sfx you would like to see in a free game asset pack? #gamedev

Pigeon and rook, Urban Shadows series, are still available. Lovely small original artworks, signed by myself, and an affordable small artwork.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

Well, when he thanked the Queen he looked at Kate 🙄

Looks like a good deal.
Maybe there’s some #sbs - ers who’d be interested.

The film ‘WALL-E’ comes to mind.

Is there anyone on the planet who isn’t currently walking around with a Beach Boys’ tune in their head?

Now that’s a legacy.

An ex-boyfriend and I used to lie on the floor for hours and hours listening to the Beach Boys.
We didn’t stay together and this song always makes me wonder about him.
I’m sure he went on to have a lovely life and although I didn’t love him, I still love the music ❤️

I was sitting round a table with some 80+ year old women today discussing how many years they spent looking after their children.

We all agreed that with so many jobs being taken over by AI it’s time we had more job shares with better pay. More time spent with family and friends for both parents.

We just need the weather for it now 😁

Women always make life beautiful.

How lovely!
(Sorry for the slow reply)
I’ve now finished making my elderflower cordial, just wondering if you can make a good pear cordial of some kind 🤔
My pear tree is still really little, after the wind we’ve had I doubt it’ll have many pears left.

Why would anyone stay on X?
It’s just so toxic.

Hahaha, yes it would!
Never seen an elderflower bush allowed to reach its proper height, how lovely.
