Picked up a new thesaurus today.
It's nothing to write house about.

I've been subscribing to Orthopaedics Monthly for 15 years now.
I've got lots of back issues.

My little girl has requested the overstairs cupboard in her bedroom is removed and replaced by a princess castle style cabin bed. All to be made by daddy, by her birthday on Friday.
Current situation...

Thats a bib he'll need not a highchair, if he's getting cider down himself.
Next it'll be a nappy so as not to waste any drinking time when going to the toilet.

I'll ping him a message if I get down that way then... if only to give him fair warning to go somewhere else!

McRainy got a reaction from Bwash_Ram in Depression, anxiety, stress and other related issues
Anxiety is not 'nerves' and depression is not sadness. Unfortunately, it is this misunderstanding which can lead to the pressure to 'pull yourself together'.
Life is not about 'being happy' either, imo. Many people are either born into circumstances, or with conditions, which make this rather glib expectation impossible. I suspect that many, particularly in our consumerist culture, feel that they are failing if they don't achieve the 'happiness' that modern life is supposed to provide.
I think Moist One nailed it when he said that the key is awareness. The delphic injunction is to 'know thyself', and in psychological or existential terms, this is the journey we are on. From this viewpoint it doesn't matter so much what our outer circumstances or our inner traits are, we can find meaning and purpose in our lives through understanding ourselves. This is how it works for me, anyway.

They told me I'd never be any good at poetry because I'm dyslexic…..but so far I've made three jugs and a vase.

Look so like the sort of place Lambchop would frequent.. You just need a bag of mini cheddars and you’ve pulled.

Just disappointed to see Paddy jokes on a board in 2018 - roll your eyes away if you wish, I just thought that was all behind us. Oh well, every day is a school day I guess.

Have fun. Check rhe opening hours first.
Try to find Falling Foss on the way. The chippy at the top of the hill in Staithes is immense as is the baker/butcher on the main road.

Can't believe I didn't recognise the Dolphin, though i mainly sit outside. Good beer and food but the OP is better in the Laurel and the Vic has the best beers.
