After everything that’s happened the last few years I didn’t think I could be surprised by any headlines any more… but “bird sniffing is not a crime” are a set of words I never expected to see out together in a sentence.

That is excellent planning! I must remember to do that next year (but I suspect the clock change will just sneak up on me again)

Awake at 5am but held firm at keeping the lights off and just trying to cwtch until close to 6 when we got up properly.

So far spent the day outside in the sun playing with high energy activities and have managed to time nap time perfectly so fingers crossed that will all help with bed time later tonight.

That all being said… please can we all just scrap the bloody clock changes and stick with BST all year?

What an absolute crap-fest of a PM and a political party as a whole.

I’m excited to have Russel T Davies back as show runner. Feels good to be actually looking forward to new Doctor Who episodes again!

It’s just so comically evil that a political party would be against Human Rights… at least it would be comical if there wasn’t a real chance that the tories could actually scrap it and that there are voters who have been tricked into agreeing with them.

The chance is very low, the Good Friday Agreement depends on the ECHR but after Brexit we know what level of destruction the Tories are willing to do to this country in order to cling on to power

with intent to destroy the life of a child capable of being born alive

These are extremely late self administered abortions. Absolutely tragic for all involved and the current laws may not be appropriate but although most people agree that a collection of cells or tiny foetus is not a person yet… when someone is at a point in the pregnancy where the baby can be born and survive then I don’t think it’s as simple.

Note: I’m assuming that’s what the line meant about being capable of being born alive (as the other recent case I was aware of was a really really late abortion and I think this is a similar case based on the posted link)

Again? When did that ever change?

It’s not theft unless the owner specified in the conditions of the rental that car’s couldn’t be charged at the property. (Even then “Theft” is a strong word!)

That being said - there is obviously a big difference in charging your phone and charging a car and really we are at a point where this should be clear in all holiday rental agreements one way or another.

I don’t think the owner would be happy if someone just turned on all the taps in the house and left them running for the entirety of their stay. There is a sort of “fair use” which is assumed (if not actually in writing)

Question comes if car charging should always be assumed “fair use” or is that above and beyond? Or is it a gray area that just “depends”… Much better for everyone if all this is made as clear as possible in the agreement right at the beginning.

Good. What an absolutely ridiculous rule in the first place

Thank you for pointing this out, I totally agree.

Being able to afford food, water, shelter is not a bloody “benefit”. This is the absolute minimum we all need to survive.

Agreed! Loved watching this series.

That is assuming that by extracting it ourselves we are at least equally reducing how much is being extracted elsewhere…. Which obviously isn’t the case. This will take carbon that’s currently trapped under the ground and release it into the atmosphere.

They are killing us for profit & votes

Back to work after having a week off. Kind of dreading it as my calendar is already packed

Cwtching on the sofa watching postman pat with my little boy…. Considering getting a second coffee but the kitchen seems far away.

Not a bad casual Sunday morning so far

Agree with co-op salt & vinegar being the best (I do like mccoys too) - don’t really like walkers any more, the crisis are too thin!

Very well put and I totally agree. It’ll be really refreshing to have these kinds of communities but with UK sources and discussions without the assumption that everyone is American!

That’s not the point and you know it. A child who already is likely to have experienced racism towards themselves not being comfortable with hearing casual racism being read out in class isn’t the same as wanting books restricted to “rainbows and unicorns”

I’m not saying that I agree with that of mice and men should be removed from the curriculum (honestly I don’t know what the right thing to do is) but I understand and empathise with the girls position.
