Oh their lovely Tize, I especially like September the Leopard Gecko, from a human perspective she looks so confident and happy.

Good pics Peter as usual......

How depressing cold wet rain can be. Why is it that it feels wetter when it's cold?

Happy 70th Birthday Ian!!

What will attract my attention today is a visit by Robin my chiropodist, he come later this morning to give my feet a treat!

What grabbed me was Robin doing my feet. He spends half an hour on each foot and when he has finished they are singing! One of life's small indulgences.

Belated Birthday Wishes, Ian.

Mick

Thanks Mick.

Happy Birthday also for you today Mick

I knew we weren't far apart.

Have a good one Mick

Happy birthday Mick!
What grabbed me was the fact that my old keyboard has reached the end of the road. I could put up with the letters wearing off the most-used keys but now it has started dropping odd characters or groups of characters and refreshing the contacts of the transmitter hasn't helped.... So I have spent £20 on a new Logi K270 keyboard and mouse.
I've also been dragged in to the surgery for the diabetes clinic next Tuesday.....

Thank you all for the birthday greetings.
This appeared at the door yesterday evening, a gift from my sister in Australia.
Lots of goodies

As my father used to say "Better then a poke in the eye with a blunt stick!". Enjoy them Mick......
Later..... I have just heard a news report that says that the Israelis are using Artificial Intelligence to analyse data and select targets in Gaza. They say that these systems don't actually make the final decision and launch the missiles.
So that's all right then......

We've travelled over this many, many times!

See THIS report from the Lowestoft Journal. Not one of our usual sources but there you are!
The public spending watchdog has found that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) equipment plan is “unaffordable”, with a budget “blackhole” of almost £17 billion. Labour said the National Audit Office’s (NAO) report was “totally damning” and accused ministers of losing control of military budgets. In its report published on Monday, The Equipment Plan 2023 to 2033, the watchdog said the department’s plans to build and purchase new weapons and defence capabilities over the next decade are unaffordable.
There is much more of course but this is a bit of a problem for the party that portrays itself as the champion of the Armed Forces.
Another headache for Mr Sunak.

The Post Office have delivered my new keyboard.... Lovely! I can now see all the letters on the keys, very important when you are not a touch typist. Also, this should cure all the drop-outs I have been getting.
Well worth £30....

It's our 47th Wedding Anniversary today.

Congratulations -

I'd say the pair of you you have made a good job of it.

Congratulations to you both.

Congratulations

Happy Anniversary
