Good Tuesday Everybody,

It is raining today, Yayyyy. So a pot of soup is on the menu at work today. My normal soup of bacon and peas and vegetables.

The way the weather is heading, I shall be brewing another pot of soup shortly. Apparently the “Spanish Plume” that has been keeping us toasty for the last couple of weeks is going away and we are due some extremely chilly winds off the arctic with a return of snow to some parts of the UK by the weekend. Brrrrrrrrr! [emoji300]️ [emoji301]️

We have had massive climate change protests all over the country. London was targeted by protestors for the best part of a fortnight around Easter.

While I sympathise with the environmental cause and agree that politicians globally need to to do something more than talk about it, there was a bit of irony that they were targeting public transport which is there to help reduce carbon emissions (London buses are powered by Hydrogen and the trains and underground are electric) The ensuing transport chaos caused higher air pollution levels than usual.

The Welsh Assembly “Declaring a state of emergency with the climate” means nothing unless politicians actually start taking immediate action against the use of fossil fuels, etc.

Sorry if that is too political Yvonne.

Soup is always good in cold weather.

Facebook tells me I have to download messenger to receive my messages, but the download process wants my mobile number. I don 't have a mobile number. Is there a way around this, anyone know?
I'd avoid downloading that at all cost. While Facebook *claims* the app is safe and non-intrusive, the permissions required to run the app could allow for malfeasance by Facebook or a third-party company. We've banned the app on all Android devices in my company for that very reason.

Good morning all!
I am having big problems with TFO today.
It's very slow to load and when I've tried to navigate between pages or threads I get a message saying 'SSL handshake failed' and it's a problem with the host.
So unfortunately I don't have the patience right now to persevere, but I will try to catch up with you later when hopefully whatever has gone wrong will have been fixed.
TTFN
