Morning all, it's sunny and very pleasant here, there is some algae in the pond, I might give Donald a ring and get some advice. I think I might bung another pump and some air stones in

General Discussion / Re: Had she lived
Last post by muddy - Yesterday at 06:49:51 AM
But they have had endless support that ordinary people don't have .
They don't have to cope with the day to day worries of living like an ordinary person has to as well as coping with grief .
Rhiannon Whyte Was only 27 when she was murdered by an illegal migrant
She was doing a low paid job in a hotel kitchen .
She leaves a 6 year old son .
He now lives with his grandmother .
He had but six years of a mother  his grandmother has to care for him as well as coping with her own sorrow the loss of her child .
And being ignored by the uncaring government of this country .
Her daughter was put into a dangerous situation .
Diana was killed tragically but preventably in an accident had she been wearing a seat belt she may have lived .
Both are tragedies but the difference in  aftermath  is rather different no less sad but different .
While Prince Harry rants about protection for his children Rhiannon Whytes  child faces a dangerous world with the same grief but in far more reduced circumstances .
His life will almost certainly be forever difficult .

Quote from: klondike on July 02, 2026, 07:09:46 AMI imagine it was a life changing experience for both and they are now maybe different than they would have been.
I agree.  Even for ordinary people losing a parent before adulthood is tough, but the Royals have nowhere to hide!

Memory Lane / Re: Drinking glasses
Last post by klondike - Yesterday at 12:03:04 AM
I remember drinks glasses with pictures on. The ones I recall were pretty small though and I think more ornamental than practical. Might even still have one and will add a picture tomorrow if I remember and can find one.

The Shetlanders wont be best pleased. Best go for an uninhabited island. Plus I hope we won't be splashing out on tents. Some tarps and rope on humanitarian grounds is quite far enough.
