Wonderful photos! I think they’re sea lions in California, Lena. I am ready to be corrected though
I just fact checked my sea lion identification. I was right - sea lions have visible ear flaps, seals don't. So these are sea lions
Good morning all.
A beautiful, very rainy morning here!
We've had rain all night and it's set for most of the day.
That should really have helped put out the fires!
I'm never going to complain about rain again
(well OK I probably will when our weather returns to normal - but I will certainly appreciate to more now).

I always remember by thinking big African Lions have big floppy ears - like Sea LIONS
Seals - sealed shut....
Happy Sunday All

Hi Gillian. Yes I am. Little health problems but not as bad as others have to suffer. Life is good.Hi, Sabine. Hope you are well.
That is a wonderful dream and I would love to stay with you but because of my own animals I am so homebound that I cannot travel.
Thank you so much for your offer, I really appreciate it.
When do you will get your first tortoise ?
I think it`ll be soon. A big sulcata tortoise ?
No, you couldn`t.
But I feel the same. I can be as silly as I was at the age of 16. No idea where the time has gone.
But when you stay young at heart ( like you Yvonne ) you will never get old.
Oh, what a wonderful beach and water. I want to be there... swimming !
Those are real Seals! Everywhere sunning and swimming with the snorkeled. It’s actually been a big debate over the years about closing of the beach which was man made called “The Children’s Pool” many many years ago. But the seals decided it was a great place for them and their pups.
During pup season they do block it because some idiots bother or abuse the seals.
I have video of a pup. I’ll share.

I understand that completely.. it is very difficult for me to leave as well.. luckily, I usually don’t want too

I watched this guy on utube! Taking his buddy for a walk & giving children rides! I thought it was great until it got to the end and he got shut in what looked like a giant box [emoji35]
I’ve seen this one before and watched it again. I never saw a box.
Same for us too. The rain set in during the meal at the wedding reception (after the photos) and nobody seemed to mind. It has been raining or drizzling in the Midlands (and back home) ever since.Good morning all.

Normally this kind of weather in July would have everyone moaning; instead everyone is so pleased to see it
After partying until midnight yesterday we took the in-laws to the nearby to the National Motor Museum today.
JoesDad's father and uncles all worked in the motor industry. They grew up in the area surrounding the Aston Martin factory in Newport Pagnell. Aston Martin is the flash brand driven by James Bond.
My father in law was a draughtsman who trained with Aston Martin and then worked for Vauxhall and British Leyland before moving to draw aeroplanes for Airbus instead. One of the uncles was a carpenter (really!) for Aston Martin They made the full scale models which the panel beaters would use to get accurate measurements for making the bodywork. Another uncle started as a panel beater at Aston Martin and then trained as a design engineer with British Leyland and worked on development and concept.
We took photos of one of the concept cars that the latter uncle was very proud of. He had a hand in the design of the window winding mechanism that could handle curved glass... up to that point cars had flat glass in the door windows.
It's really interesting going to somewhere like this museum with people who actually worked in the industry and knew all about what was on display
We then had a pub lunch and dropped the in-laws off at their home before heading to our own.
I do hope everone has had a good weekend and that you all have a good qeek next week
