I was watering my tradescantia and mentioned to my husband that you could not call it a Wandering Jew anymore. He suggested that we should call it a Roaming Catholic.

Out roamin' for his Jehovah's fitness.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
@pansyface, I once asked a blue badge guide in Cambridge the dumbest question she had been asked. She said an American visitor asked her why there was a bleeping sound at pelican crossings and she was told it was so people with restricted vision know it’s safe to cross.
”What?? Are you telling me they let blind people drive in England?”
That made me laugh! I only recently realised that the parking beepers on our car made a noise from the side / front / rear, depending on where the obstruction was. Caught myself telling OH that it would be a very useful feature for a blind person. A senior moment?
The sensors in our car have a thing about pizza delivery bikes. It lets us know when they've gone past. It also got into a panic about a loose stem of ivy that was hanging out from a car park fence.
My car beeps like crazy from the front left hand side every time I park it on our drive - because there's a big clump of Verbena "Bampton" growing in a crack and I can't bring myself to pull it out while it's in full bloom, but if I don't park with the front of the car pushing into it my OH can't get his car past the back of mine to get to/from the garage.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
The consequences aren't severe enough to deter people from destroying listed trees or buildings. They just factor it into the building costs. There was a lovely old pub near here all mahogany, marble and stained glass. High end Victorian, I suppose. The builders who threw up a block of flats were made to replace it in front of the flats. It is a poor, smaller Toy Town imitation on the outside and the usual cheapo fittings and second hand furniture inside.
I wasn't sure whether to put this here, or under Curmudgeon's Corner. I finally chose here, because I have a wry sense of humour, and tend to see the amusing things in life.
We had a power cut this evening. Here is the message received.
I went all business like and efficient yesterday and got my list out...you know the one. Things to take out, things to put in, things to leave sitting in pots for years. One of the items on the list was achillegia. Anyone? Anyone? Should I contact the RHS to help identify this plant?!?!
