now that we have 129 data centres I think the government are scared to even mention the words water shortage. Beyond fucked up. I'm sure there'll be a backlash but I'm a reasonably hopefully person.

I find myself repeating stories .. Yep I thought it's your jam ....I have saved the last chapter for bedtime....

In other news, I have sat in the bath the entire afternoon and almost finished this - glutted upon - have you read it?

Yeah totally, a lot of people say that - it takes an awful lot of time and energy to sort people's possessions out when they're gone let alone their finances and legalities. My Mum, bless her, has everything

I don't anymore. The older you get the more you lose and the more you realise it doesn't matter. Plus many, like me, feel as if you may as well declutter before you die just in case someone else has to

You'll always be loved, come what may

I'm stoked that you found it popular but not overrun. The kids must have loved being in the water in the heat. You definitely want to make me go back

Yeah it's all in news here. My husband, who is weather obsessive, updates me constantly. It drives me insane.

Hahah scrambled tofu ... I love it. Lots of fennel, turmeric, fresh ground cumin, garlic, onion, tamari, pepita

Indeed. I'll always love music, and never love running 😂

I don't think it's random anymore! I know a few people that have been in the last month and even my son is there in a few weeks. I went in 2001.

Such a pretty city. My grandpa on Dad's side was from there. My maiden name was Slovenian. I didn't really know him though, only a vague childhood memory. We have lost contact with all that side -- WW2

That place has so much grand design potential. Wish I could pop past and lend a hand. It's great your Mum can help out. My mums pretty generous too as she has nothing to spend money on now dad has gone.

Lisbon is gorgeous. So much colour. It's so busy these days compared to when I first went there twenty years ago. I can't recall those trams going up the hill that's for sure

Open gardens are such treasure troves of inspiration aren't they? Weird how when we get older we start doing things like bird spotting and gardening 😜 but it's not a bad thing hey. British gardens are

Well there ya go. Such a funny name.

Being consistent is key hey? And once you feel better, it's easier to just keep going.

Beautiful. There seems to be a type of heron in all parts of the world. Perfectly suited to lurking by rivers!

I have done free diving which I loved, in Bali.. a whole new perspective of the ocean!
