Oh no. Shame poor baby B and what about Mrs B? Is she still okay?

Nowhere to be seen according to son, which is to be expected.

I can’t help wondering if the dreadful thunderstorms have affected the bug supply at a critical time.

I’ll clear the box out in the next couple of days and see what I find.

As you have probably worked out, we have landed. Had something of a record transit through Heathrow - just over 40 minutes from touchdown to being on the way out of the carpark.

All being well with the motorway we should be home in about 50 minutes

Temperature 26C and sunny here, but we saw some big storm clouds over the East of England from the plane so I don’t know how long that will last!

And as a result, people probably value what chances they get more. Education should be free in an ideal world in my opinion, but those that have to work hard to get it probably value it more.
Not really because the parents pay for it not the kids. So the kids don't necessarily value it like they should. It adds an extra burden on the parents shoulders when most are struggling to make ends meet. And sometimes kids then leave school earlier than they should so they can go work and bring in extra income into the household. Granted I think university's and collages you should pay for because that is a luxury but up until Grade 12 which is the last year of high school should at least be free, so all children can at least get that much.

So you should have arrived 7 minutes ago. [emoji1] [emoji1]

What do you all think? I'm considering getting this as soon as my doctor clears me. I came across it a few nights ago and fell in love with it. View attachment 240123

It’s a nice design, but I don’t like tattoos :D

The state your skin is in right now, I would put it on hold for a good while

I'm not a tattoo fan, but as far as artistic value goes, I like the ship but not the blue design going through it.

We also visited City Hall which is where the Nobel Peace Price is presented each year.

It looks quite austere outside, but inside the walls have elaborate murals. Building started in 1931, but couldn’t be completed until after WWII as Norway suffered badly under Nazi occupation

And a couple of random artworks in the city that took my fancy

And French themed toilets that amused me as labelling them liberté, egalité and fraternité may just be “taking the pi$$” as we say in the UK :D
