It is here for us to share and to…

Tell us some boring news.
There's intrigue in the mundane and so today we're asking you to share: what is something boring you've done lately? Emptied the kitchen bin? Run out of teabags? Bought a clothes airer? Cleaned the oven? Tell us. I'll go: I walked to the shop to post a parcel, but I'd accidentally deleted the digital label they needed to…

Silly Phrases/ Sayings

It takes more…

Little things can mean so much
I had to go out this morning, for a steroid injection into my shoulder. Wasn't really anxious, but not looking forward to it. Pulled my front door closed & there was something stuck to my door. Someone had left me a sweet message… " Stay! For just one more day! Read this again tomorrow! You are loved more than you know!…

Since 2021, International Moon Day has been celebrated on 20 July…

The great, yearly "Swan Upping"
In my hunt for weird English traditions, I stumbled upon this lovely one that happens every year in July; Swan Upping. No, it's not a group of people seeing how high they can lob a swan, though I do see some amusement in that if they were fake swans. Swan Upping is an annual census of the mute swan population on the Thames…

Could Someone Possibly
help me with something, please? I have drafted a letter in response to the local MP who I emailed prior to the recent votes (disability), she took about 2 weeks to get back to me and then acted like she was trying to help people like myself when she in fact voted for. I have pointed out different things in the letter which…

Trigger warning: Leftist/socialist mumbo jumbo 😱
I keep seeing videos of this musician and really like this clip of one of his songs❤️ (It's only 39 seconds long) The lyrics for anyone that would rather read, but the sound is just so beautiful: "Those billionaires, they're all the same. They'll steal the clouds, and sell the rain. The script is new, but the lies are old.…

Regrets
Hopefully this won't end up as too negative a conversation but I was wondering what kind of regrets people have?? I read once that people regret the things they didn't do much more than the things they did, like not taking a chance on something, not taking that job offer, accepting that date, and so on. What advice would…
