WTF-Beta

When we had a power cut a few weeks ago I recorded this in semi darkness.

It has rained here literally every day in December since we've been dogsitting. Imagine four dogs running round the lawn and then coming inside. Six times a day.
We bought three extra washable mats but it's a losing battle.

Thankfully two dry weeks are now forecast so I just hosed clean the back yard concrete and fingers crossed the muddy patch that used to be grass will drain or freeze.
Oh for warm summer evenings.

I've noticed this with some expensive places, some only advertising with a handful of photos.
It's either they really don't need to show everything, and/or a privacy thing.

And currently on the market in the UK, I love this house:

Seems to have enough space for a piano.

I'd be happy with this 2.5 acre Barbados estate, 380ft of beach, a 6 bed main house, 4 bed guest cottage:

Veey moving, emotional reading

That type of counter display is still seen here at some outdoor markets/craft/food fairs.
In Bowes Museum grounds last Saturday there was a stall with deep sections like that, of nuts etc including cashews.

Not my first choice of sweet flavour I have to say , even now
We used to have strawberry or lemon covered toffee bonbons
Like these

I was also partial to candy cigarettes

Sherbert fountain, the extra fine white sherbert going up your nose.

I'll take the carpet from the first and the gas range from the second, please

This is AI generated combination of places?

A favourite and for me fabulous real life moment was when Bob Geldof who, having organised Live Aid in 1985 on two continents, having persuaded hundreds of stars and all that they need to perform to give their time and skill on a specific day, having spent goodness knows how much time, effort, umpteen phone calls...
He walks on stage in front of literally millions of people to start an astounding, astonishing, amazing, affecting worldwide spectacular, and says
"Thanks for coming."

Yes, looked like this chocolate but in ufo shape

@wtg
Flying saucers filled with sherbert omnomnom

My favourites as a kid were called crispets which were also in the shape of a UFO and I'd buy a quarter. Crispy milk chocolate with coconut.
No longer available but I think 'Crispy Bits' made in Scotland are the same.

What hawk are they?

I keep reminding myself he is primarily a businessman, and of course an 80 year old convicted criminal.

Not actually reading much due to my ongoing carpet laying but over the last fortnight acquired these:

Just my type (by Garfield) caught my eye due to Ax's thread regarding calibri/TNR

Arial is what we changed to (from TNR) and used from about 1990, for its clarity, and it also saved printer ink.

We're being studied
