Did you have a Record of Achievement ceremony and do the shirt signing thing that our kids like to do on the last day they will all be together in school?
Time to knuckle down now and get all those GCSEs under your belt!
Hope they are all going OK and will continue to go well for you, Ben!
Thank you:), yes there were people signing shirts but they mostly did it in their yearbooks.

We did thank you. it was quite warm and sunny until this evening.
Lola has walked all day today - it's a wonder he hasn't worn his little legs down!
He wouldn't bask inside or out, but he did have good nibble in his clover patch.
I should get him a Fitbit to see if he can reach the Great Barrier Reef level too.:)

At least he was outside! It is progress :)

Just got a 5se, will never update it. I’ve ad an android for quite some time now I see how much bloatware ios also have!! Almost went for a flip phone. I’ve heard mobile services are way cheaper in EU than here.

iOS doesn’t install bloatware from third parties. The pre-installed apps can all be removed if not required. I suspect the 5se will go out of support in September too. It will be OK for a while, but the apps will stop working and the operating system won’t get security updates any more

Good mornooning everyone. It’s a sunny Friday.

We have dozens of starling fledglings in the garden. They are now unattended as their parents are off building nests for their next brood. The squabbling, etc is noisy. If one tries to get in the bird bath then they all do! Their flying isn’t terribly accurate and we here them hitting the conservatory regularly; no serious injuries yet so far thank goodness.

I have a hair cut to look forward to and ironing to not look forward to :D Not see you later :)

I’m up early...time to hit the road, Bay Bridge and Ferry. If i miss that boat....well, i miss the trip! Ogh, and it’s Memorial Day weekend... = nasty traffic and EVERYONE likes to head to the beaches.
Have fun and drive carefully!!
Traffic will be bad throughout the UK this weekend too with people trying to get away for the bank holiday and half term school holidays - I try to avoid motorways at all costs on bank holidays.

Off on another long weekend of kayaking early tomorrow. We’ll drive over to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, load boats onto a ferry, and end up in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay @ Tangier Island. Wxr is looking good. No reliable phone or internet service. We’re going back in time.

Very cool! My uncle lived on the Chesapeake bay. I had this cool raft with oars. I used to row around like a mad man.

I think you're gonna need a bigger bird bath!
Bless them - all trying to find their way in the big wide world.

Good morning all and Happy Friday!!
I'm toying with the idea of catching a train into Cardiff for more wedding outfit searching.
If I dose myself up with my painkillers I should be OK.
But on the other hand, it's a nice warm day and it would much more fun staying here watching Lola wander in and out of the garden.
Maybe I've caught Lola's agoraphobia!! ;)
Hope everyone has a good day.

Maybe you're just jealous that Lola never has to figure out what to wear for special occasions! :p

Yeah, it’s their own apps but it’s still a lot of unecessary stuff and the apps can’t be deleted, wallet, apple watch, you are obligated to have an account, well anyway I always make a folder for useless apps with an Iphone. If the phone is not connected to wifi, the chances of being hacked are low, plus I put almost no personnal info on it.
