@fenlandflo Gonna stick my neck out here and say I like these….I’ve got a twig version in my living room (that I made…). I think they’re quite calming and charming…. Can we still be friends? 🫣

Why?

@fenlandflo 👍

@farmbeam Have you? Time for a coffee to discuss I think.

I’m not really sure Grok has the hang of this. 😂

@fenlandflo 🤣🤣🤣 I think bottom right is more you…. p.s. have I told you I’ve been freelancing in an AI role recently?

@farmbeam Ah you must mean the toilet roll lady in the bottom left. It’s like my mother knitted me from bri-nylon.

@fenlandflo I’ve always had my suspicions 🤣🤣🤣

@farmbeam Because you’ve seen me in all of those get ups haven’t you? 😂😂😂

@fenlandflo Interesting divergence on the frozen word…I’m more used to hearing froz than frez. As in “Mam, the watter’s froz” …

Beautifully frozen, or frez up as we say in Lincolnshire.

@fenlandflo That’s more than we had here 🤣

Morning. Where is my snow? It’s all very underwhelming here.

@fenlandflo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was also going to abstain (OH doesn’t drink…), til I opened the fridge door…

We were going to have a dry day til we went through the ‘can I get you anything?’, followed by the ‘well what sort of thing were you thinking?’ performance. 🥂

@fenlandflo Decaying brassica smells (100% avoidance of) is one of the best reasons to live in my part of Lincolnshire 🤣🤣🤣. It’s all grains etc by the time you get to the foot of the Wolds…😊

We just did the obligatory Boxing Day walk to compensate for the excesses of yesterday. It’s mild, wet, and murky, and smells of decaying brassica. 🤢

@fenlandflo Are there some white ones?

What a sight to come across. It’s absolutely thrilling every time the deer go over.

@fenlandflo Oh dear! How are you now? Hope you feel better soon!

Honey, lemon, cloves and brandy. Purely medicinal you understand after spending all of last night in A&E on a nebuliser due to the lurgy taking a downward spiral.

@mchambers1952_m @fenlandflo @MercerCait It’d take an entire day just to tackle the bedpan department 🤣🤣🤣

@fenlandflo @farmbeam @MercerCait Wow! Sorting all of that would be a massive headache…..although I have to say I love a good rummage 🤣

The health and safety people have finally caught up with The Old Co-op @farmbeam @MercerCait

Seen this, @engcountrylife @TheFloofLady ? 🫣

@fenlandflo @MercerCait I believe she owns several venues in the town, so they might start to look a bit ‘fuller’?

@farmbeam @MercerCait Haha yes I think some of the floors must be feeling the strain. I can’t see it happening. Where the heck would they put all that stuff for a start?

@fenlandflo @MercerCait Maintenance? Like reinforcing the floor joists maintenance??? Oh dear….end of an era…🫣

@farmbeam @MercerCait She’s been ordered to sort it out and do some maintenance so I’ve heard. The front shop is still open but you can’t go in the yard or any of the back rooms.

@SueArcher6 @tinnershares My Nan and her daughter, my aunt, were in the same care home for several years. My Nan made it to 106 and 3/4…which made this scenario more likely, I guess…

@tinnershares My Mum remembers seeing a local news report on a lady who was having her 100th (or maybe more) birthday, and the reporter asked her how she was feeling and she said "Well, I'm happy, because I've just got my youngest into a nice care home..."

I've always loved this. Seen it many times now on numerous retweets, but always lovely. That's her baby.

@SueArcher6 You can get a bit blasé about them if you see them every day 😬

@farmbeam Exciting though (well, I think so)

Last night, these pink-footed geese flew over us, on their way to the marshes for the night. We saw three separate skeins, all a similar size…it must have been thousands in total….

@fenlandflo In me wellies??? 🤣🤣🤣 Plus I don’t actually know where you live 🤣🤣🤣

@farmbeam Wow, that looks amazing. Why didn’t you pop in for a cuppa?

@fenlandflo Was in your neck of the woods today, and I found half of a medieval turreted annular brooch, which looks crap (and needs more cleaning) but would have been sublime in its day, with glass ‘gems’ in the mounts…
