I’m suffering from a sudden bout of tinnitus today. Google tells me the common causes are coffee, stress, and alcohol. [emoji85] I should start a blog with that name.
Hope that's cleared up as quickly as it started.
Perhaps if you drank the coffee and alcohol instead of pouring it in your ears things may improve;).

Maybe the tip is like our thrift shops. We can donate to them and they resale them. Some of them hire disabled people or other people that need some help with a job. And it doesn't go to a landfill.
Thrift shops are called charity shops here and they seem to be taking over the high street in most of our towns these days.
So many shops have closed either because of internet shopping or they can't afford the rates, so the council let charities take them over. They would rather they are used than stand empty, and I don't think charity shops have to pay business rates either.
It's all good for recycling though.

We got hit by an onslaught of tornados today... I came home to a lot of tree’s down ( a couple on my fences[emoji35]) and no power.. we still have no power but the basics are covered by the generator.. we were fortunate compared to others in the neighborhood. Son and I took a ride to see some calm after the storm. It’s good to focus on the beauty in life:)

Lovely - the calm after the storm.
Glad everyone is safe and hope it doesn't take too long to fix your fences.
Tornadoes are very scary - I get worried when we have gales!

That would be about 35 - 40 miles away from me Lena, and I have done the waterfall walk it is part of many times.
I've also been in the cave may years ago - think it was one of the first I ever did with an Outdoor Activity group.
Posting yourself through a Letterbox in caves is quite a challenge when you have a battery pack to manoeuvre while trying to make to look easy to encourage reluctant children!!
Love the cartoon of how Welsh towns got their names!!:D

How cool! Looks like a beautiful place!

Good morning.

Quick birdie story. Was out topping up our garden fountain and giving the roses a proper drink when i heard a familiar buzz fly by up, around and over. Sure enough a RubyThroated Humming bird dipping in and out of the water spray enjoying his morning bath. In and out of the spray like a honeybee on a flower. Then, a quick stop on a rose bush to preen, fluff and preen some more. The grand finale was a buzz about, in and out of the spray, landing at the very top of the fountain where it bubbles up and out. Mr Hummingbird drank, preened, swam about in the bubbles, then back on the rim to towel off. All very cute and happening just feet from me.

Time to put the hummer feeder up - and more tree trimming.

Happy Thursday.

Hi Mark.
That must have been wonderful to watch!
Do you have a wildlife camera trap to catch them at the feeders?
