Brain fade!

I've seen it used a couple of times recently. My English teacher used to say "Don't use a long word where a short one would do" although"crowned" isn't much shorter!

Since when have we started using the Americanism "coronated"? It actually means "having a crown or corona", in English there is no verb "to coronate" ...

She seemed to surprise herself as well!

I need a groan emoji!!!

She is yelling practically all the time. What was wonderful was to see Aran's "happy dance" when she came back to the nest after an overnight absence. He's done it several times since. She seems to be more settled today and getting used to the disturbances from the farmer's vehicles. Low...

OSPREYS For those of you who might be interested two of the Welsh osprey nests have two eggs each, at Dyfi Osprey Project and Llyn Clywedog. Egg expected by the weekend at Llyn Brenig. Mrs G, the elderly matriarch at Glaslyn sadly didn't return this year but her mate Aran seems to have found...

I decided I wanted to try bell-ringing - that's how I look when I've climbed the spiral staircase to the ringing chamber!

Science & Environment Poultry to be allowed outside as bird flu eases https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65244151 Yay!!! Not that I have any poultry ...

Why isn't there a "groan" emojii?

I follow that group too!

I have a radio controlled alarm clock that regularly loses the signal. It's analog so when it resets I can hear the hands juddering round! Sometimes it stops at 12 o'clock and will restart anything up to half an our later. All my other radio controlled clocks are fine!

Poor eleventh ant!

So sorry to hear that Marigold. Hope you're feeling better today. Disturbed nights are awful but mine is self-inflicted because it's my very elderly cat that wakes me three times a night! Pippin is lovely, I love it when they help with things.

I'm surprised no-one picked up on this especially a certain lady who's usually quick off the mark :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Marigold. I learnt to read by word recognition because I wanted to know how Mummy knew what to say when she read a story. So I sat on her lap while she pointed her finger at each word as she said it. It meant I was horribly precocious and could read silently before I went to school...

I can't think what that is either! One of the advantages of Welsh is that it is totally phonetic - learn the sound of the letters and you can say the words. Mind you we do have these things called mutations where the preceding word can alter the letter of the next word ... At least the verb...

When I was growing up Valentine cards were sent anonymously to a person you liked but maybe with a small clue as to the identity of the sender. My pretty older sister used regularly to get half a dozen and we had the fun of trying to decide who they were from. The point being that the...

Ah well, it shows which ones are the true animal lovers ? My elderly cat has just got me up for the third time so it isn't just the young ones. I thought I might have the compensation of seeing the comet but there#s too much cloud. ☹️
