I don't think I have used Messages here before (or maybe I have?).  In any case, I am going doolally, so it is to be expected.

I went to Morrisons this morning,  was back home by 9.30am.  Certainly more expensive than Aldi.  :cool:

Quote from: Mups on June 23, 2026, 10:18:53 PMI felt so angry today when I saw some horses stuck in a small fenced off bit of field,  with no shelter whatsoever,  not so much as a tree to stand under,  very little grass,  they just had to stand there and cook with the blazing sun on their backs for hours.



I hope those horses had water !

I just found a message from Mups asking if I'm OK.
I replied to the message, of course, but both hers and mine are nowhere to be found.
I have no idea what is happening, and have no means of finding where these things are.
If Mups should see this, please understand that I am not ignoring you!

AI Overview                
The most recent El Niño phase officially began in June 2026 after the Equatorial Pacific Ocean transitioned away from La Niña.

On a broader scale, the El Niño climate phenomenon was first recorded in the 16th century. Historically, South American fishermen named the weather event "El Niño" (Spanish for "the boy" or the Christ Child) centuries ago because the anomalous ocean warming typically peaks around Christmastime.

If the climate is changing, and I doubt if it is, the best thing we can do is adapt to it. We can't stop it and we would be fools to try.
