COLD DARK ROOM

We don’t see a lot of Elsa these days because it’s so dang HOT! She is a very smart girl, and comes out to eat a little in the morning and evening, but mostly estivates. I’m trying to follow her example but the household chores don’t seem to get done when I estivate...[emoji38]

Oh dear. Maybe our resident Merlin ( Adam....hint hint) can give you better ideas than we were able to.

I don't like confrontations so I wouldn't make a good PO.
Mind you - they may behave better if they see the uniform on the washing like and think I've joined up

Indeed I did!
Hinkley Point on the Somerset coast near Bridgwater.
When I was a lad I collected fossils on the beach by it, dug under the security fences and collected alongside the cooling pipes.
My wonderful Great Uncle Ken used to work there and I remember his metal framed glasses glowing slightly in the dark!

We used to grow them, back in Somerset.
I remember the pain of freezy fingers as I used to have to go and pick them on icy mornings. They're very hard to snap off in the cold.
(the sprouts, not my frozen fingers.)

That must be back breaking work!
My sister who lives opposite a hospital entrance has a constant battle about the litter left on the road by staff and patients
(No smoking in any hospital ground now so they stand on the roadside)
Anyway one day as she walked past some road sweepers she pointed out that there were some beer cans in a small ditch near the entrance.
They told her that she would have to ring the office because they aren't allowed to bend more than 45 degrees to pick anything up!
Health and safety gone mad along with no pride in their work no wonder this country is going to the dogs!!!

Beating it is as silly as putting rain in it, quite frankly.
You could beat it, but I expect it would fly everywhere, especially with added rain.

Last year, a student did it on a bus, 'cos he couldn't find work.
It happens a lot in Tunisia.
That's what started the 'Arab Spring'.
