www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Maybe this means Infantino will be removed, but wouldn't count on it. Trump naturally wants to stand up for the man who gave him a 'Peace Prize' and overturned a red card decision on an American player during WC2026 because Trump asked for a return favour. 😜

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10

5 German tourists have been rescued from “an ice floe carrying a sauna tent, a motorised saw and an onboard motor after they lost control of their DIY vessel in the Stockholm archipelago.”
They attempted to “create their motor-powered floating sauna when the swell from a ferry broke the ice.”

I found a bottle of 'patination oil' when the scaffolding came down from the work done on the old chimney in my circa 17th century house. Long story short: it keeps lead from developing unsightly staining due to chemical reactions with cement and weather. The roof is mainly straw thatch. 🐺

There are problems with my chimney. This roof can't be accessed via a ladder, and using a drone is probably faster and easier anyway.
