Wow, looks really good. That looks like Fearless or Intrepid to me. I made that one as Fearless for my dad when I was much younger as he had served on her.

The Long Man of Wilmington hill chalk figure

I popped in to visit the Long Man yesterday. I love this place.

You couldn't actually get much worse. Jar Jar Binks gets the award for most annoying character in any movie ever.

I watched that on Friday, a fabulous episode and lovely seeing the DLWP.

Not forgetting the British TV series Midsummer Murders, certainly the first few series anyway.

Charity shop find today. Happy boy 😁

I've brought some home to enjoy the Easter holidays in my home. They can come back with me unpacked after the holiday...

I used to get families of these little lovelies in my garden when I lived in New Zealand. Wonderful birds.

I don't know how accurate the film was but I really enjoyed it. A very good story.

2 degrees here in Bexhill. Bright and sunny but cold!

I've only just discovered it today through another conversation on here. Impressive streak!

My school is 5 as well.

We all have our students that give us a headache and might grumble about them where we gather for tea and biscuits, but posting that on social media just feels wrong. Especially for a head teacher.

It feels like I am finishing the term with a scratchy sore throat! Just looking at my plans for today to decide if it will be easy enough to sort out cover for it all. How the CPD goes well.

I fully understand here, there comes a point where the tent stops being enough. I sold my van in NZ after 11 years before moving back, now I want one back in England as well :) Have fun.

I know they're a pest etc. I can't help loving them all the same.

It's not here either (Bexhill, UK)

Useless grifter

Sounds lovely. Very much looking forward to it 😁

Thank you. I am a Brit coming back after 21 years away!

Just 5 more days of being a NZ teacher! Looking forward to getting started in England instead.

I found one once in New Zealand. Only time I've ever seen one in the carapace. Gorgeous little critters.

I rather like Paypalpatine

Alipay - I didn't find the translate button for about 2 days... I was bamboozled with the lack of pay by card facilities until I got around Alipay. I didn't use WeChat but it is a crazy place for non-Chinese speakers to try adn figure out.

That's a lot politer than some of the names I have thought of for him, but I rather like that one...

We learned to make sure not to plan anything involving state monuments on a Monday! Half the city attractions were closed. Also, getting used to paying for stuff was interesting, took us about 2 days to get into it properly.

Did you go over to the actual palace? I really enjoyed Beijing.
