I'm a Crane Fly , Commonly known as a daddy-long-legs.
I'm a harmless insect that sometimes feeds on nectar helping with pollination but mostly I don't eat anything
Please enjoy my company as a bumble around because I only live for a couple of weeks. 😊
'They are actually saying.
' Heres a minimum 2.5% pay rise per year for life and a carer you won't have have to spend your life savings employing if you become sick or frail'
You would have to be nuts to say no.
Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide.
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide is not inevitable. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could save a life.
I've shared this video before; it's message remains as important and powerful as ever. You won't always know someone needs help so why not message that friend now and just check in?
Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea.
Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.
Any person or organisation questioning their actions or loyalty to this country should be corrected and ostracised.
Anyone can drown, but no one should.

Dolly Parton was one of the great entertainers of our era. She was not only a talented musician & songwriter, but a lifelong philanthropist and advocate for literacy, education, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare and disaster relief.
Her music and humanity touched millions. She will be sorely missed.
"Quand je serai vieille, je m’habillerai de mauve
Je mettrai un chapeau rouge qui jure avec ma robe.
Je dépenserai ma pension en cognac et en gants de dentelles, en sandales de satin et je dirai que nous n’avons pas les moyens d’acheter du beurre.
Je m’assoirai sur le trottoir quand je serai fatigué.
Je tirerai les sonnettes d’alarme.
Je ferai courir ma canne sur les barreaux des clôtures
Je rattraperai le temps perdu quand j’étais jeune et sérieuse.
Je sortirai en pantoufles sous la pluie.
Je cueillerai des fleurs dans les jardins des autres.
J’apprendrai à cracher très loin, mais peut-être devrais-je m’exercer un peu avant afin que mes amis ne soient pas surpris et choqués.
Quand tout à coup je serai vieille et que je m’habillerai de toutes les couleurs, ce sera pour moi que du bonheur."
Jenny Joseph, Rose in the afternoon, 1963
I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble
Firefighters put out 15 campfires and three disposable barbecues in one day in the Snake Pass area of the Peak District. Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service warned a "single spark could cause another devastating wildfire".
Leave barbecues at home!
