Me too - can't resist that stuff!

BTW, thanks for the Netflix tip -- I will defo check it out!

There's a whole genre called "filk" which is folk inspired by sci-fi/fantasy fiction. There's a classical-leaning group called the Tolkien Ensemble and pagan/new age bands with LOTR themed names

Mead should be a good drink for Hivers, no? I saw recently they've even started making low/no-alcohol versions. It was a great day out, and the band really played well.

I found it quite tiring and I didn't do any running at all! Everyone played really well, and it was a great first outing for the Riverkicks, I thought. As for beliefs, there are as many beliefs as there

Discrimination, feeling undervalued and Long Covid may be part of the picture re: NHS staffing shortages, while Long Covid (affecting around two million in the UK) makes you ineligible to donate, shrinking

Aww I love this toon -- your voice really does it justice 💙 💗 💖

yeah but did they have the secret chord?

Looks like a lot of fun!

Lovely boys -- they look like each other's negatives!

If anyone mentions it to me I'll just say: "Oh sorry, that was us rehearsing for our charity gig in September to help raise money for an animal shelter. Hope it didn't disturb you too much!"

It was fun to get the band back together! (minus @steevc anyway) Haven't had any other repercussions. Just some momentary annoyance, I expect.

Lovely cat -- so happy he's doing well! <3

Some great pics of a fun outing -- glad you all enjoyed your time in the sun!

😂

It was a pleasure hacking through the jungle with you all! 😀

I've uploaded some background info about the walk we're going on -- it's all from an extensive geographical, botanical and even historical survey of the area carried out in 1993 by the National Rivers

Actually I said "wokeism" not "woke" was derogatory. I don't see woke as derogatory.

Great session -- glad we didn't wear you out too much!

Looks fantastic -- glad it went well!
