I love it too. The artist's name is Jane Steven ~ this is another example of her art, she is very clever with her use of pebbles 🙂

My oldest son posted this on Facebook, he's lucky I have a sense of humour, the little shit! (He's 45 years old lol) 😂

29 years ago today, my beautiful Grandma died, one month shy of her 94th birthday. I love and miss her every day, she was the best Grandma 💜💜 (This photo of us was taken about a week after my wedding in 1984 ~ I was 24 ~ my hair is now almost as white as my Grandma's 😅)

Where was your proof reader hiding when this article about Sir David was submitted? Seriously ~ "blue shits"? Do better!

JoyT🇦🇺 🍉@purpleminutes· May 8

I guess the proof reader was on strike ~ yikes! 😬 (Yeah it WAS the Mirror but still.... )

Text reads :- The star lives in South West London, near Richmond Park, but made the trip into central via car. Sir David wore a white trousers paired with a blue shits, a thin grey V-neck jumper, and a brown blazer. The national treasure seemed in good spirit and very mobile. Despite rarely seen in public in the past few years, he is still working on documentaries.
Taken from an article about Sir David Attenborough, from the MIrror, whose proof reader was obviously on strike!

Yeah, I just put my heater on, it's always at least 10 degrees colder in my Unit than it is outside ~ it's not even winter yet 😬🥶

Can the UK use this to pull out of AUKUS? If so, does that mean Aus can pull out of it too? Asking for a friend 😉 #AUKUS #Auspol

This is another of the Jigsaw puzzles that my mean big sister likes to challenge me with 😅 I've got 3/4 of it done today, but my back needs a break and I was hungry, so I stopped and made myself an omelette. On the scale of puzzles my sister buys for me, this one is easy 😅
