I do like that view.
I obviously have opinions about what is in the background, but we are where we are...

Are we in Canadian tuxedo territory?
Ooh, yes, that too!
They've been doing that the past couple of days. I suspect cargo drop practice.
They do occasionally drop stuff at night onto farmland then send an Osprey to pick it up. Allegedly...
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work (second job edition)

This is one of my favorite grave decorations in Arras. More personalized dioramas celebrating professions, please.
Given that most ambulance despatch operators deal with at least one mental health crisis per shift, this seems a reasonable response*...
*For the avoidance of doubt, there is considerable sarcasm in this post
Especially when it snowed in the Scroggling the Holly festival!

An egret in reeds at the side of a river. There is a cormorant in the background, but it is strictly an NPC in this gig
The egret has just moved right next to a grey heron, who is giving strong 'Look, will you just piss off, Gary. This is my hiding place' vibes.
The heron is taking off, having got disgusted with Gary and realising its cover is blown. The egret has also taken off and is just out of shot
In today's river bank soap opera, I saw an #egret, who decided to move rather than be run past. So it moved to where a #heron was having a quiet rest. The heron was not impressed...
From my experience trying to get diesel this evening, it seems that the Fens has moved to the hoarding/profiteering phase...
Not sure which is worse: Operation Epic Torch or Operation Epic Tunnel...
Winner is definitely Operation Epic Primrose, though.
Sure, but what is this doing apart from leaning into right-wing framing around mental health being quackery? Did BBC also ask if they refused notes due to broken legs or flu?
Hundreds of GPs tell BBC they have never refused a sick note over mental health concerns

This is giving strong Second Pacific Fleet/Japanese torpedo boats in the North Sea vibes...
I am deeply suspicious about this. I keep getting surprisingly good scores for someone whose colour differentiation was described as 'very poor' by a qualified optician...

I like 'hen', from central Scotland. I also like the Fen use of 'boy' for anyone of any age.

Oh I am so confused now - I hope you are right, but if you are that is also awful.
The @privateeyenews.bsky.social #Page94 podcast is one of my favourites. Am disappointed not to have figured this snippet out for myself, though:

It's really hard not to read stories such as this, like this:
"Your 'lifestyle valuesβ do not align with the restaurant"
In what way
"You're alive"
It has been on my mind a little too much recently too...
I was thinking of a five word combination in Scots which is very effective, but not suitable for a family social media site...
