I like Dr who, Snoopy/Peanuts, sewing, quilting, EPP & bag making, photography, cats and being kind.
Two of my favourite quotes for life are 'Run Fast; Laugh Hard; Be Kind' and ' What's the point of being grown up, if you can't be childish sometimes'.

I think Gianni Infantino maybe toast at last.
UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF have begun preliminary discussions about the possibility of organising competitions among themselves to ensure that players can continue to compete.
FIFA delegates who backed him must be getting concerned now?

He has had pit holes filled, sorted fiscal issues and now this. This is how a major city Mayor should be, sorting out the essentials effecting most of its citizens, not pet projects.
Sadiq Khan take note. This is the type of Mayor London deserves and needs.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has delivered on his signature campaign promise after New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-1 to approve the first-ever two-year rent freeze in the board's history for roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments across the city.

To translate this into American, London is projected to go over 100 degrees next week.
That had never happened anywhere in this country in recorded history until 2003.
Three years ago, we hit 40 C (104 F) for the first time ever; now, we might do it again.
And we're so not ready for it.

A pub sign for a very exclusive London Pub.
The Cross Keys Pub is within the Tower of London and only open to the Yeoman Body (Beefeaters), Tower staff and invited dignitaries
I would love to go in for just one pint.
