St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne is the patron saint of otters. He would stand waist-deep in the North Sea during his nightly prayer vigils, and according to the story, two otters would come and warm his feet with their breath and dry them with their fur.

We got seagulled this morning. 1 of the 2 bins out. As I was on my way to work, I asked himself to go out, scoop up the detritus and fix up the tear with some sellotape. He did so. They still didn't lift the bins. Greyhound, you have pissed off the wrong woman. In 2 weeks I will take the day off.

@annstapleton.bsky.social I have no idea how to slide into your DMs cos I suck at social media, so public it is! I said to G just heard from Ann, when was the last time we saw that face? He said too long. I know, I know, Christmas, but hit us up in January. It has genuinely been too long.

Anyone with any (house) insurance knowledge on here willing to help me? If you slide into my DMs, I promise you pics of an enormous floofy ginger, an extremely elusive tiny void and a tortie that belongs on the Only Fans of tummies! Quid pro quo, Clarice.

In my youth I worked in a cash and carry. I have never been as fit and thin. Scale up three shelves, I would estimate at least four times my five foot one height. Wrestle a ten kg box of Persil over your shoulder, drop it down to colleague. Yeah.

The tortie (2ish) is 100% Jane Seymour. No one fucking liked her, apart from Henry. Pitch your tent to a better queen!

I am a bit odd. I am obsessed with witches and the six wives of Henry VIII of England. No, none of them were witches, contrary to popular opinion. No one is a witch. I am channelling the cats and I think oldest boy 12?ish is C of Aragon. The middle child (9?) must be Anne of Cleves because reasons.

It's important to boycott Uber. They will use the drones that killed children, who stood in line for flour, to deliver your food order. Do not use Uber. For anything.

Jesus H. Christ. Horrifying.
There will be many more. Here's some additional background if you want to pursue further reporting on countless intercountry adoptees still denied legal rights and who are truly living in fear now in the country that brought them here without any say in the matter. www.bbc.com/news/article...
The American adoptees who fear deportation to a country they can't remember
