Definitely worth a "Groan"!

My marriage got off to a bad start - and that was during the Wedding Service... After all the preamble the Vicar eventually said "You may now kiss the Bride." And she said "Not now, darling, I've got a headache."

I did do that with my dogs and oven / baking trays. Their raspy tongues easily stripped all the burnt-on bits from the tins / trays, making them much easier for me to wash. Alpha Bitch was always first while the others waited their turn to further clean a largely clean tin. It was interesting...

My new girlfriend said that she was polyamorous. She looked very puzzled when I bought her a Parrot as a present for our second date.

Nice pix! Ta! I see six snakes too. (Are they cold? Or just good friends?)

Dragonflies zipping about the reeds at Llangorse Lake in the BBNP.

My vinyl LP collection when CDs started to become ubiquitous. A lot of memories in those albums... I guess that, for many people now, all their music is streamed.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli Historian. I thought it useful to understand some of the background to the current shocking conflict in the Middle East, particularly as it seems to have the potential to mushroom into something much more sticky. Let us hope not!

You can also rig the tarp on your car, along with a pole or two. This can give you some shade or shelter when having a picnic. Or a little privacy if one of the picnic group needs a comfort break. You can rig it on the side of the car or over the boot. Or both. Regardless of the weather, the...

Well tidy video, many thanks. Looked like a great few days. And y'all managed to sneak in an Illegal Rave too. Plus a Public Execution. Ace...

I unscrew the trap's own bait tray at the top and use one of those Cotton Wool Bud things (the ones on a small stick) to smear the paste around. Ditto to smear upwards from the entrance to the trap. I think that even if you remove the gas cylinder there's still a charge waiting to go off if you...

Trap now been out for 5 weeks. Counter reading 14 today, with 6 confirmed squirrels (either as bodies or confirmed by Trailcam), and - sadly - 3 bycatch mice. That leaves 5 "trigger events" unaccounted for. As well as baiting according to the instructions, I've been smearing some of the...

Always a few, of various denominations, in the car for parking meters, etc.

A Kingfisher zipping along the River Wye near Hay-on-Wye. Also there was a pair of Swans with only one Cygnet. I wonder if it's river pollution, bird flu or lack of food: I'd normally expect to see perhaps 3 or 4 Cygnets with their Mum and Dad.

Well, having got this far in the thread, I'm wondering if some of us should either halve or double their medication...

Why does the English word for Syllable have more than one?

The one at the bottom of your pic shaped like an open number 4. (OK, OK, not very funny...)

Did you carve that stick yourself?

Spanish, before I went to Spain for a few months. I did find it easier to "read" the Spanish newspapers than listen to / watch the news there. The newsreaders seem to be able to talk at warp speed for several minutes without taking a breath. And I'd catch maybe one word in a hundred or so.

Yup. Whilst our bodies get older through the years, we don't necessarily grow up!
