@EjectorSeat Nothing to do with the yachts out for the bank holiday?

@luckybarsteward Better make each one count then… before swapping to herbal teas and hot water…

@luckybarsteward @bbcweather Gopping?

@RowingFamily1 Maybe it’s the orderliness, or lack thereof that gets to you, Di. I like full matching kit as well for this reason. That World Rowing dictates it has nothing to do with it.

I’d suggest we bring this back. It’d be awesome!

It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyore's house.
Inside the house was Eeyore.
"Hello Eeyore," said Pooh.
"Hello Pooh. Hello Piglet" said Eeyore, in a glum sounding voice.
"We just thought we'd check on you," said Piglet, "because we hadn't heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay."
Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I don't know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? That's what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all.
Which is why I haven't bothered you. Because you wouldn't want to waste your time with someone who is sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all, would you now."
Pooh looked and Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house.
Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?"
"We're sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends don't care if someone is feeling sad, or alone, or not much fun to be around at all. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are."
"Oh," said Eeyore. "Oh." And the three of them sat there in silence, and while Pooh and Piglet said nothing at all; somehow, almost imperceptibly, Eeyore started to feel a very tiny little bit better.
Because Pooh and Piglet were there.
No more; no less.

This is a superb way to look at having bought books you haven’t read yet and a perfect reason why not to feel guilty when you buy yet more books!!

[Dr Peter Caddick-Adams #StandwithUkraine @militaryhistori]

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!
Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

@SEDWilson @scttfrnks Great way to pronounce it like that to annoy Americans … UK has marmite, AUs have vegemite, US has Yosemite.

@brixtonkate I had the same aha reaction when I went there a few years ago. Lovely park for a walk too.

[Marj 💙 @MarjIsrael]

@RowingFamily1 I’m with you on that one, Di. Have to ponder every time someone mentions near side.
