Two ships in the night.I’m glad you got there safely. Ironically, son’s Scandinavian tour has taken him to Copenhagen for a couple of days![]()
Holding fingers for you. Well the ones that i have left. [emoji23] [emoji23]Wimbledon starts the end of next week. It’s usually very wet for that fortnight (fingers crossed for rain up north rather than in Wimbledon)
Strange ! I was never "payed" for a lost teeth.....We pay between $3-5 a tooth depending on age.
You are on the right track Lyn. Water in plastic bottles is not good. The plastic can transfer toxic chemicals to the water that we drink. I use my tapwater for drinking too. It is the cleanest water and controlled like any other food.I never buy bottled water on principle and because they charge so much. I just fill a bottle from my tap when I need it.
In fact I've stopped buying single use plastic bottles in my effort to help save the planet.
Sometimes it's not possible though as there's no alternative.
A good deed to help people in need. Your halow has been fresh polished and shines bright in the sunI was longer than I expected at the shop as an elderly lady passed me in her car and she had a flat tyre.
I saw where she parked so I could make sure she knew and it turned out she was completely deaf.
So I rang the RAC (emergency service for cars) for her and they disappointingly left me hanging on for over 10 mins listening to music!
Another lady spotted her and came over . I thought she was a signer who could help - turns out she was deaf too!
She text the RAC on her phone and explained the lady was deaf but again no response.
Anyway the lady didn't have a spare tyre in her car or I could have changed it for her and it had shredded so couldn't just be inflated.
She then text someone at the garage she uses on her own phone who was on the way when I went into the shop. As I left I went to check she was OK and the mechanic pulled up; hopefully he brought a spare and sorted her out.
So that was my good deed for today, not that I was actually much help!
Kathy, why don’t you join our pool at Superbru? You’ll probably have less points because the missed rounds, but that’s not important, and there are still many games ahead.
Good morning all.
Here in the UK, the good weather continues. This isn’t good news for people living near Saddleworth Moor which is in the north of England near Manchester
There are huge wild fires on the moor which have been burning for the last 2 days. The army is now helping fire-fighters.
Unfortunately the moor is covered in peat which burns very well when dry... and it’s very and windy up there. Peat burns slowly and is very difficult to extinguish.

I think so, but on thinking about it, it could also be Milley picking up bad habits from Scooby-doo, or she could be getting old (she is going on 12 this year). I don't know anymore, as I can never catch them in the act. And Milley never did this before. Sigh. Last night I took them outside at around 11pm before locking up, and this morning I was up before 6 and took them out again. No pee. Not sure how long I can maintain that though, as I like my sleep.![]()

Hello Linda. It seems I am too old for a tooth fairy.Doesn't the tooth fairy visit Germany Sabine?
She certainly visited the UK when I was small. Before our currency was decimalised in 1971 we used to get a sixpence ... 2.5 pence in modern money. After decimalisation it went up to 5p!
It was a bit of a shock to find the going rate was £1 for our children.
Lena, I think you will find that Kathy's $3-5 is more than we pay. 1 USD is around £2.30. The British tooth fairy is definitely cheaper!

The college we used to take the kids to, built a greenhouse with old plastic bottles and bamboo sticks - very clever!Next time don't flatten the bottles. Fill them with sand and then use them as bricks and build a wall.View attachment 243325
I would always go for spare. I had walked over so didn't have my car or I might have let her borrow mine.Well done Lyn
So many cars have done away with the spare wheel these days as a weight-saver to improve fuel consumption data. They put a can of foam in to inflate a punctured tyre, but that’s only useful if you have a small hole.
We have made sure our cars have a spare wheel. It’s too easy to get caught out.

I set my account up on the computer and then installed the Superbru app on my phone
