It’s lovely to see the Just Eat seagull is back sitting on her nest outside our cafe. I’d never seen a baby seagull before last year, they are fluffy!

Recently enjoyed this placeholder label form embellishment to obtain wifi at Bangkok airport. I'm disappointed that in my haste I cut off the gold bells hanging from the submit button.

That’s super helpful - thank you. This must be useful if you can’t distinguish colours.
