Actually you're right, being there with a friend does sound like fun. Being there on your own would be a bit miserable. Glad to hear your neighbour will be ok.

I commend your willpower, and shall try to do the same. I expect its a weather thing? As the days get colder and darker we have to find our dopamine somewhere else? (damn that reminds me I must use my sad light)

Yes the comfort food. I’ll have something sweet and need something salty to counter it. Then I’ll need something sweet to counter that. I’m not usually like this. I am eating so much.

We picked these flying Gadwalls as our #BestoftheMonth, which is Rob’s theme for #BirdoftheDay. They were flying over #RSPB Rainham a couple of weeks ago. Close formation flying!! #Birds #Essex #Wildlife #Nature #ECK

Two birds are flying very close together. The one behind is so close that you can only see a wing and its back, no head.

So much of the menopause and perimenopause discourse is designed to make women feel like shit and then flog us stuff. And the net effect is that we end up presenting ourselves as ditzy "meno-brain" incompetents.

Located in Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture, Genbi-kei Gorge—designated a Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument of Japan—stretches for two kilometers along the Iwai River.

Winding through a rugged chasm of water-sculpted stone, the turquoise waters of the Iwai River carve a dramatic path framed by a brilliant autumn canopy. On the right, fiery beech and maple leaves glow in shades of russet, copper, and vermilion, creating a vivid counterpoint to the deep green pines clinging to the dark, mossy rock faces on the left. A soft, silvery mist settles over the distant bend of the ravine, partially shrouding a narrow suspension bridge in atmospheric haze. The scene evokes a vivid sensory atmosphere: the cool, sharp autumn air of Iwate Prefecture, the roaring spray of rushing white water, the earthy scent of damp basalt and fallen leaves, and the quiet reverence of a secluded mountain gorge.
Carved out over millennia through the erosion of volcanic tuff, the ravine is celebrated for its dramatic rock formations, cascading rapids, and unusual cylindrical potholes (ketsugun) worn smooth by tumbling pebbles. Historically, the gorge was admired by Date Masamune, the legendary warlord and founder of the Sendai Domain, who praised its raw, untamed beauty as equal to the famed pine-clad islands of Matsushima. Beyond its dramatic geography, Genbi-kei is famous for its delightful local heritage, including flying dango (Kakko Dango), where teahouse orders of fresh rice dumplings and green tea are sent gliding across the canyon to visitors in a wooden basket suspended on a cable high above the water.

How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*

sexual violence centre cork

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE.

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM.

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

*for perpetrators.

The Four Latin Doctors St Ambrose, St Gregory, St Jerome and St Augustine at Fosdyke, Lincolnshire. Probably by Clayton & Bell in the 1870s as at neighbouring Algakirk. The church was rebuilt at the expense of Basil Beridge, Lord of the Manor and Rector of Algakirk. Today's the feast of St Jerome.

Paddling (canoeing) across Windermere today, into the teeth of a pretty stiff Force 3 wind - lumpy, and just this side of whitecaps - I came across a swimming squirrel, looking very stressed. Not a planned swim, I'm guessing. It was 300m to either shore, so I'm not sure s/he was going to be okay.

I wonder what percentage of college men commit the sexual violence.

Its a really unique production style, the cast is made up of perfectly normal (as opposed to beautiful Hollywood) people, and the only lighting used for filming is candlelight. It's kinda of gritty, but also feels very real. And as for the story, that letter. Oh swoon 🥰.

Frankly I think it's ridiculous that there is a new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility when a perfectly perfect one already exists.
