Exactly this! I had what I thought was a pulled muscle in my side so left it six weeks before seeing a doctor, per info on NHS website. Turned out that I actually have secondary breast cancer in the liver... oops.

Yes it does, I've got both Scottish Gaelic and Irish on my Duolingo. They're different enough to be challenging!

Thing is, when you've got such downright weird looking pictures you tend not to trust the text either and the facts might* actually be okay!
Haven't been so lucky yet!
Seems logical. Doesn't take them long.
ALL of your pictures are wonderful but I think the wave (top left) is my favourite. I would love to have that on my wall!
That is truly a thing of exquisite beauty.
That's lovely, thank you for posting. Some of the pictures are great - including what looks like a heron who has also figured this is a good place to fish! π
Looking forward to listening to a new podcast (new to me) on Trump news called Cleanup on Aisle 45. There's been a lot of legal stuff going on this week alone and I need some commentary.
It's a very literal depiction of an angel!
I'm listening to Vanity Fair on Audible. I'm sure I read it once but don't remember it, and bloody hell, this book is LONG. Thought I was near the end but still have six hours to go. It's like War and Peace. (Worth it, though). #Books π
Sounds like a good plan!
Would it though? You don't need sex organs to rape. The mind is the thing with the problem and if they still want to abuse children, they'll find a way.
And Death's granddaughter. He really wrote women well.
I like Death and the witches. The Watch comes after them, and the wizards last of all, don't really like them. But Pratchett was a genius.
I was on the day trip to Calais. Most of the day was on the bus there and back. Terrible weather on the ferry. Had about two hours in Calais, most of it spent in the supermarket. Would definitely pick the farm.
Amazing.
my dearest, the burden of age rests heavily upon me, and i grow weary of this world and its trappings. much as time came even for the fearsome spinosaurus and carcharodontosaurus to make way for new masters of this world, i fear it has come for me. please tell radiohead and nirvana that i love them

O yes. I loved that man in Airwolf π
I don't know why the books don't have him use charity shops for clothes. He always buys new (usually workwear). But I still think the actor is *too* muscly. It's not as if Reacher has access to a gym.

Amen! From the UK.
Perhaps this discovery could be used as a way to recycle plastic into building material?
Just wow. Well done to all those jurors, but what a waste of the Court's time.
Um... *kind of*.... Keep at it π
You might discover whatever the cat version of the Higgs Boson is?
Adorable! Yes please. Black, no sugar, whatever it is.
I'm not the main character, but that doesn't mean I don't have a life and a backstory, even if it is only to doppelganger the protagonist.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by happy memories xxx
That's alright then π
Oh, woe π₯
Well it's certainly true that a lot of their colleagues don't.
That's an awesome looking piece of cake!

Wouldn't very low temperatures affect all electric cars? I recall hearing that Canadians put their vehicles on trickle charge when not in use, else the battery goes flat very fast.
Aw, thank you!
Ah, but Project Fear, remember. We were just scaremongering. Looks like all the belief the Vote Leave lot can muster isn't going to stop this Titanic from sinking.
Ditto!
70 years old, but as relevant as ever. π
Good call, thanks! Now following π

Here's today's little gem (probably accurate about the radon too).
It is! Very snarky π
Ugh. Present.
No, Vera Britten. She lost her fiance, friends and brother in WW1. The book is a collection of their letters to each other. See also Testament of Youth.
Ah. Offer them to friends and neighbours, or get chomping then!
K, thanks π
I wish something like that had been around a few years ago. I once had to transcribe a legal document from the 17th century, a handwritten Deed setting up a charitable institution which was still in existence. Seriously hard work!
Looks pretty. Nothing here in my bit of the UK yet...
Have you read Letters from a lost Generation? It bought me to tears.
I'm going to have to watch it again. I don't remember the bit about Ren and Stimpy π
"It's not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless." ~L.R. Knost LOVE VERSUS FEAR: Please vote for candidates who aim to make our world a little less cruel and heartless :-)}
I feel your pain (actually, no I don't) - but can they not be frozen?
Fair.
Oh!
Oh, OK. I understand. Good luck π
Same.
Duolingo again seriously ticking me off. I I have no idea what the answer to this is. The answer given is no help whatsoever because the letters look different when joined up. I'll have to give up and lose my progress with still no clue as to how to do this!
They... They know Reacher isn't real, right? . . . Right???
Haha, so right!
I've just never gone in for really beefy guys. Muscles are fine but that's so OTT. See also Stallone, Arnie et al. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE Ritson. He's perfect in this role and seems a nice guy too. But I don't fancy him.
That's brilliant π€£
Why? It's not very attractive. Clothes don't fit well, and his head looks small in comparison to his body. He's perfect to play Reacher, but too muscle bound for my liking.
Absolutely, there are some constituencies where if all of those who didn't vote had turned up and spoiled their ballot papers 'spoiled ballots' would outnumber the papers in favour of the winning candidate. Politicians would HAVE to take notice of our dissatisfaction with the voting system.
Depends how much practice she's had I suppose. From what I understand from reading Jack Reacher novels, the thing about a shotgun is that it doesn't require much in the way of aim.
In the video, she refers to a shotgun but it looks like she's got a rifle to hand at the end?
I agree. I have a good friend in her 70s (just) who is and was very pro Remain.
Actual footage of me today...
It's lovely! TBH, the one I have now is very plain as I found I never really looked at the very pretty ones I used to get. You don't tend to see the back of your own phone!

Hear hear. I was shocked by friends my age or younger who voted Leave or not at all.
Oh Anthony Hopkins, definitely. Also Gwen Cooper from Torchwood.

Norn Irish. I used to deliberately make blood donor appointments by telephone just to listen to it (the call centre must have been based there).
Thank you π I shall explore this further.
Mine would also chase anything that moved. Small birds - fine. Geese - not so much. Swans - fought back π³ Munctjac - I nearly lost him when he headed off into the next county. Fortunately the Munctjac could leap a barrier that defeated Chaos.
THIS. How many young men looking at this kind of content appreciate that their single wage has to pay for all those pretty dresses, makeup, hair and beauty etc as well as all the gadgets and the actual house... not to mention any children which seem to be vanishingly absent in these videos...
This is a great article. I wanted to quote post from it, but would have ended up with most of it, so easier if you just read the whole thing.
My dog was lab/collie cross. Prefect mix (no, I'm now at all biased). The toughest thing was trying to tire him out.
It's great to see some GOOD news!
What's clearly needed is a "sex ban". Women of the USA should all refuse it until the men come to their senses. There is precedent... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistr...
Great start! Followed by the statement "your weather isn't going to forecast itself, tap the big blue button to continue" ... I think I like this thing.
Ooh. Thanks. Heading over to the store now π
They are two gorgeous dogs. I love the collie /sheepdog types!
What is carrot? Seems a bit snarky, but kind of fun!

There are no words to describe how I feel about this Government. They are an obscenity, a revolting pustule on the arse of humanity, and we *so* need to get them gone. #GeneralElectionN0W
Hope she gets a good price for all that. Cos we want our money back.
