I remember reading a long list, probably on Facebook, of "Why pets are better than children". I can't remember any of the reasons except the last one: "If they get pregnant, you can sell the babies."
I spent an hour or so in the doctor's waiting room today. A couple brought in this small ginger goblin that I can only assume they found under a bridge somewhere. It seemed pretty feral anyway. I hope they weren't planning to raise it as human but they'd dressed it up in child's clothes. It's made me feel better about my situation though. I'll take a bit of sleep deprivation over running a goblin rescue centre any day.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I think you're slowly losing the plot @wild edges I met a really nice couple up on Morrone in Braemar a few weeks ago. We had a right good chat and set the world to rights about various topics. I can't repeat the story the woman told me about the feral children near her. It was hilarious though There's a saying in Scotland about ugly babies. They're known as having 'a face like a jiner's nailbag'.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Can't find the happy thread so I'll put it on here. OH left the front door wide open .We were out for about 4 hours and not robbed - maybe they left us something😊 Joined U3A. Looking forward to joining in. Decided to try anything -almost.

My grump then is that, despite having started as a movement in France, there is no U3A hereabouts.
