The leaves are all gone for another season. Soon the river will begin to freeze up and the snow will start to fall. It saddens me - as I am a summer person.

In Atkins Bottoms near Russellville, Arkansas, stood the lone tree that was a major element in 100's of photographers for their composition with a sunset background. On my last trip a sunset was not going to happen so I opted for a long exposure. In the early months of 2020 the tree collapsed and is no longer there. I'm sadden thinking of all the opportunities I had to photograph this scene, but I am grateful for the images I did manage to take.
Cleaver Rd is one of my favourite places for fences. There are subdivisions going up all around that area.
I know that growth is just a natural process but it saddens me a bit.
Happy Fence Friday
Full of scars from fights with his late brothers, but his beauty is not marred. Devastatingly handsome African lion (Tiny!) photographed at Big Cat Sanctuary.
I'm really saddened to report that he passed away in March 2022.
I am deeply saddened and in shock from the attacks that occurred in Paris last night. My condolences to those in Paris and to those who have family or friends who have been killed, injured or affected by those cowardly, indiscriminate acts of terror.
Stay safe everyone
Stitched pano (12 source images) of Fjallsjokull glacier in Southeast iceland which has created a huge glacier lagoon just like Jokulsarlon in its vicinity. Iceland's glaciers are melting just like all other glaciers on this planet and while we might enjoy the beautiful sight of those glacier lagoons, the reasons for them to be are utterly worrying.
" It's saddening to see me at bay. Avoiding my source energy to be safe. They are noble, I don't question. But my thinking gives me blast.... Everything around, is just past. I am the truth, I will last... Who is noble, I need not ask. The one who exists "
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^

Last year this tree didn't bloom all year, I was saddened thinking it had died. This year it looks like a rock star!
Racism is the real evil that exists in this world, like everyone my soul has been saddened to it's core over the death of George Floyd. Not just for George but for every black, indigenous, and ethnic minority who has been disrespected, harassed, intimidated, mistreated, bullied or murdered not just by the police but society in general. My heart breaks that we have not healed the gaping wound that racism infects our society with, instead it's been poked and prodded until it's infection like a cancer has boiled over into every crevice of our society.
Love is the only thing that can heal this wound. Love is so much more than words on a Hallmark card. It is the most powerful force in this universe. It is the only thing more powerful than hatred, and the only thing that heals the scars left behind by racism. Love in action...there is no love in apathy. There is no love in turning a blind eye. We have to eradicate this cancer at every turn with a universal voice powerful in it's convictions and backed by the force of love.
There is no love in revenge, it feeds the cancer and destroys the soul. Revenge is not justice because it's unjust to ourselves. Justice is always served in the end, call it karma, God, the law of the universe, it matters not, what matters is there's a price to pay when we seek to destroy the worth and happiness of others.
May you rest in peace George Floyd and fly high 💛

I truly believe everything happens for a reason...
A week ago I had absolutely expected to open the new summer Florence. We were literally days away from it's preview. Unfortunately due to extenuating circumstances it was not meant to be. It's heartbreaking seeing a project not come to fruition and I'm saddened to see its end.
At this point I'm not sure what will happen with Florence~Perhaps in the fall there will be a reopening. Time will tell...
In the meantime, a lesson learnt is that I have wonderful friends on game. I've always known, but this past week in general the support shown and help rebuilding a lovely retreat has been both touching and greatly appreciated.
I'm going to regroup for a few~enjoy Florence as it is at the moment and step back for a little bit. I'm looking ahead, but in the meantime will enjoy the view from my SL deck and let my imagination run wild...
I hope to see you all back at Florence soon.

'Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today (ah ah ah)
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one."
So long since this amazing gentleman wrote and sang this amazing song, and saddens me that nothing much has changed... Wish each and every one of us hear his words and join up to make the world better for us all =)

2 personas de avanzada edad es casi las únicas gentes que vimos. Después de comprar en una de las escasas tiendas se quedarían hablando de sus cosas. Seguro que ellos son muy felices en estos pueblos donde deben haber nacido pero les debe apenar que cada día sean menos habitantes y especialmente gente joven. También es un misterio como sobreviven estas tiendas de comida si solamente les venden a los viejitos del pueblo.
2 elderly people is almost the only people we saw. After shopping in one of the few stores they would talk about their things. Surely they are very happy in these towns where they must have been born but they should be saddened by the fact that every day there are fewer inhabitants and especially young people. It is also a mystery how these food stores survive if they only sell them to the old people of the town.

This black cat I called him Hunter was homeless, it took a while to earn his trust he would not come near me, but with food and patience we became friends, one day he stopped eating and wanted nothing to do with me I couldn’t figure out what was wrong so I set out a trap caught him and took him to my vet, I was saddened to learn that he had feline leukemia, sadly he passed shortly after the vet visit. My goal was to get him to be part of our family, unfortunately plans changed, my wife and I were heart broken for such a lovely cat.

I'm deeply saddened by the events over the weekend and felt the need to speak of love in a visual art form, so I combined the MM theme with the message.

" It's an -awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars? .... "
- DAVID BOWIE -
We were up at Troup Head yesterday and was saddened to see much less than my visit from last year due to bird flu at a guess would say less than half lots of nest space empty the ones that were still there was at the bottom of cliff just saw this one guy at the very top and was wondering if it was one of the couple I got last year as it was in same place.
So not many shots, lots of Linnet up in the gorse also.
Had to crop at bottom as a large turf dirt/grass was there.
Many thanks for stopping by always appreciated.

Tonight I'm showing off the outfit called Debbie. There's 8 colors to choose from, a fatpack, & a megapack (20 colors in the megapack) to choose from. You can mix and match the colors since the corset & pants are separate.

Like all of those who participate in making the Fantasy Faire a yearly success, I am genuinely saddened that the time has come for 2021's adventure to end.
It was a pleasure to be involved in this great event and I look forward with enthusiasm for the new journeys the 2022 will bring. Goodbye Fantasy Faire 2021.

А функция заката такова:
Печаля нас, возвысить наши души,
Спокойствия природы не нарушив,
Переиначить мысли и слова
И выяснить при тлеющей звезде,
Зажатой между солнцем и луною,
Что жизнь могла быть, в общем-то, иной,
Да только вот не очень ясно - где.
Из треснувшей чернильницы небес
Прольется ночь и скроет мир во мраке,
И, как сказал философ Ю.Карякин,
Не разберешь, где трасса, где объезд, -
Все для того, чтоб время потекло
В безбрежность неминуемой разлуки,
Чтоб на прощанье ласковые руки
Дарили нам дежурное тепло..Но в том беда, что стоит сделать шаг
По первой из не пройденных дорожек,
И во сто крат покажется дороже
Любой застрявший в памяти пустяк,
Чтоб ощутить в полночный этот час,
Как некие неведомые нити,
Сходящиеся в сумрачном зените,
Натянутся, удерживая нас.
Не будем же загадывать пока
Свои приобретенья и утраты,
А подождем явления заката -
Оно произойдет наверняка,
Чтоб всякие умолкли голоса
И скрежеты, и топаты дневные,
И наступили хлопоты иные,
И утренняя выпала роса.....Автор: Ю. И. Визбор.................................And the function of sunset is as follows:
Saddening us, elevate our souls,
The tranquility of nature without disturbing,
To change thoughts and words
And find out with a smoldering star,
Caught between the sun and the moon,
That life could be, in general, different,
Yes, but it's not very clear where.
From the cracked inkwell of heaven
Night will fall and hide the world in darkness,
And, as the philosopher Yu said.Karjakin,
You can't figure out where the highway is, where the detour is -
All in order for time to flow
Into the vastness of imminent separation,
To say goodbye to affectionate hands
They gave us the warmth on duty.But the trouble is that it's worth taking a step for this
We didn't drive along the first of the routes,
and it will seem a hundred times more expensive
Every little thing stuck in my memory,
Feel this midnight hour,
Like some unknown threads
converging in the twilight zenith,
They will stretch, holding us down.
Let's not speculate yet
Their gains and losses,
and let's wait for the sunset of the phenomenon -
It will happen for sure,
To silence all kinds of voices
And the screeching and stomping of feet began throughout the day,
And other troubles.,
And morning dew fell.....Author: Yu. I. Vizbor
I marvel when noticing that all the colours in the bird are on the beach. I am also saddened to see such natural beauty spoilt be what man has left behind. (I later removed this when the birds had gone.)
Thank you all for your kind responses.
"A colour, no doubt, is a trifle in itself, and only has its full value when it is in contrast or harmony with other colours.... each colour has an expression and a character peculiar to itself, and each is enlivened as it approaches its lightest shade by its mixture with white, just as it is saddened and perishes as it approaches its darkest shade by its mixture with black."

Sleep Eden sleep
My fallen son
Slumber in peace
Cease the pain
Life's just in vain
For us to gain
Nothing but all the same
No healing hand
For your disease
Drinking scorn like water
Cascading with my tears
Beneath the candle bed
Two saddened angels-in heaven, in death
Now let us lie
Sad we lived sad we die
Even in your pride
I never blamed you
A mother's love
Is a sacrifice
Together sleeping
Keeping it all
No sympathy
No eternity
One light for each undeserved tear
Beneath the candle bed
Two souls with everything yet to be said
Song by Nightwish www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwlRusx47RY

Why Me?
~Barbara Vance~
If you have to ask Why me?
When you’re feeling really blue,
When the world has turned against you
And you don’t know what to do,
When it pours colossal raindrops,
And the road’s a winding mess,
And you’re feeling more confused
Than you ever could express,
When the saddened sun won’t shine,
When the stars will not align,
When you’d rather be
Inside your bed,
The covers pulled
Above your head,
When life is something
That you dread,
And you have to ask Why me? . . .
Then when the world seems right and true,
When rain has left a gentle dew,
When you feel happy being you,
Please ask yourself, Why me? then, too.

For the sake of humanity and for God's sake,
we only want to seek peace, knowing that peace is the ultimate climate of freedom!
It sickens and saddens our hearts and our minds with all this devastation, that is happing to the Ukraine Nation at this moment in time. Just for the price of wanting to live in a Democratic Society, with equal opportunities and human rights of freedom !!!
All around the world, we give our solidarity to them, in support and through protests: Which we had a huge turnout in Birmingham city centre as an estimated 1,000 people said no to war in Ukraine. Those who gathered in Victoria Square made clear their opposition to Russia's invasion of its neighbour, which has left Vladimir Putin's country virtually isolated in the world.
Now, we are all wondering what is the price for all of us to pay, of being liberated from a sadistic dictator like Putin, whom from Russia with Love and with greatest attentions to liberate us all.
So? - What is the whole meaning of total liberation from him?
This sadistic evil dictator, of Vladimir Putin's mind, as only one way of getting this full liberation from all of us?
Is simply push that Magic Red Button,
and we all will be truly liberated,
once for all.
How sicken can this get for all of us? - We can only pray for deliverance and relief for the love and peace of the Ukraine People!
Now let us all stand up for them and pray for a peaceful ending to this unjustified war,
my friends !!!
Mission San Juan Capistrano, Great Stone Church. I have mixed feelings about this historic mission and church. While I admire the work and skill to build such a place so long ago, I am saddened by the toll the California Missions took on the indigenous population. The Great Stone Church was severely damaged by a large earthquake in 1812.
One thing that makes this mission unique among all the missions of California is the return of swallows each year. They would fly up from Argentina, and tradition has it that the main flock would arrive at the mission on March 19th each year (today!) Due to development around the mission, fewer swallows return, and many that do nest elsewhere (such freeway underpasses). Some may remember the song "When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano" - it was a bit before my time... www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmT8S3qZnNk

This photo, taken at the Altmarkt in Dresden, is symbolic for me of something I see again and again, and which increasingly saddens me: empty city centers.
Of course, this only reflects my own observations and personal opinion. And it's quite possible that I'm being a bit too harsh on that. But could it be that we're somehow losing our sense of community (or perhaps it already has)?
I'm not talking about special festivals, holidays, or large events. There's still plenty going on then.
But what about everyday interactions? The meeting of small groups or even complete strangers to simply chat, get to know each other, and laugh together? I notice less and less of that, and I find it very regrettable.
Dieses Foto, aufgenommen am Altmarkt in Dresden, steht für mich sinnbildlich für etwas, was ich immer wieder sehe und was mich zunehmend traurig stimmt, leere Innenstädte.
Natürlich spiegelt dies nur meine eigenen Beobachtungen und meine persönliche Einschätzung wieder. Und es kann gut sein, dass ich das alles etwas zu verbissen sehe. Doch kann es sein, dass uns die Geselligkeit irgendwie abhanden kommt (eventuell sogar schon gekommen ist) ?
Dabei spreche ich nicht von besonderen Festivitäten, Feiertagen oder Großveranstaltung. Da ist immer noch mächtig was los.
Doch was ist mit alltäglichen Kontakten ? Das Zusammentreffen von kleinen Gruppen oder gar mit völlig unbekannten Menschen um sich einfach miteinander zu unterhalten, sich kennen zu lernen und gemeinsam zu lachen. Davon bemerkt man immer weniger und das finde ich als sehr bedauerlich.

Our small group of five were the only visitors at Firefly. We wondered if, perhaps, Noel Coward, is unknown to some of the younger tourists in Jamaica. The house is unchanged since the day Noel Coward died and clearly in desperate need of restoration...although the site is beautifully maintained. It saddens me to think how it will fare in the future.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
Empty Chair
I sit alone at a table for two
An empty chair that once belonged to you
It is not just the empty chair
And the table for two
Some days seeing a table for two
I am reminded once more of you
The emptiness I feel all over again
Without you
Despite many years alone
I have become all too accustomed alone at a table for two
Many years have passed sitting alone at a table for two
It is in times of sorrow that a table for two
And the empty chair next to me
That I am saddened once more
It is then that I wish it could be you
In the empty chair next to me once more
Right here next to me
Playing footsies under the table
Squeezing my leg
Touching my finger as if you’re touching me for the first time
That look across the table of
I love you
It will be okay
I think of this world you left behind
It would be unrecognisable to you now
And I thank God in a way
You are set free from the state of this world
I miss you
Seeing a table for two
Just for today
I don’t want to sit once more
At a table for two
With that empty chair next to me
In memory of my beloved who departed this world so young
You are where you are meant to be - and I am where I am meant to be
Until we meet again in all eternity
Forever in my heart

I received the news yesterday through an email from Australian Photography magazine that the iconic Binalong Bay tree snapped in strong winds recently.
"Known tongue-in-cheek as Tasmania's Wanaka Tree, the lone tree had long been a popular landscape photography destination on Tasmania's North East Coast, and provided a striking backdrop to the orange-tinged boulders that hug the shoreline. For photographers visiting Tasmania, photographing the tree had become almost a right of passage".
I have spent many sessions in Binalong Bay photographing this tree from just about every angle. It was such a simple tree that would barely get noticed if it were growing anywhere else. It's not even a good looking tree, but it certainly has loads of character and was definitely a survivor against the elements.
So this is a tribute to the tree. I took this image in February 2017. I will have to have a look through my photo library to see if I have anything more recent.
It's interesting timing - one of the trees that I have been documenting over the years in the Midland Highway has recently fallen as well. Last week when I drove by I was saddened to see the stump and debris where the tree once was. The cycle of life ... Farewell Binalong Bay tree.
Cheers to everyone and let's hope that 2021 is a good year, bringing us closer together in peace and understanding!

Era el Arbol de la Sabiduria, el hombre acudia a sus consejos en cada duda transcendente.Sus hojas respondían con virajes de colores , leguaje que antíguos hombres entendían.
Un dia no lo visitó mas .!!!...El ser humano se hizo Arrogante !!!... El Arbol Entristeció, comenzó a arquear sus ramas hacia a el suelo y sus irizadas hojas se las llevó el viento , elevándolas hasta las nubes que tiñó de bellos colores ,…Colores que solo pueden ver los que aún escuchan la voz de la Natura .!!!...F.O.G.

It was the Tree of Wisdom, the man came to his advice in every transcendent doubt. His leaves responded with turns of colors, language that man understood.
One day he did not visit him any more. !!! ... The human became Arrogant ! ... Then the Tree Saddened, began to bend its branches towards the ground and its colorfull leaves were taken by the wind, raising them To the clouds that stained beautiful colors, ... Only those who still listen to the Natura can see ... !!! ... FOG
Colchester Zoo statement in full:
We are very saddened to report that on Sunday 4th February Eurasion Griffon Vulture Yatsey passed away.
Yatsey was free flying during one of our educational bird displays when he diverted from his usual course and landed on the netted roof above the lion’s enclosure, instinctively, one of the lioness’ caught Yatsey. Keepers acted quickly and effectively to get the lions into their inside enclosure to prevent them from causing further harm. Yatsey was swiftly retrieved by keepers and after an initial examination Yatsey had sustained a puncture wound which looked treatable and keepers were confident he would pull through with veterinary treatment. However, following the situation Yatsey had experienced, on the journey to the vets Yatsey sadly passed away from shock.
The netting used above the lion’s outdoor area is designed to stop birds from landing within the enclosure, this is not designed as a security feature, we can confirm that at no point was the safety and security of the lion’s enclosure compromised. We would like to thank visitors for their understanding and cooperation whilst keepers worked to retrieve Yatsey.
Yatsey was 22 years old with a big personality and was a much-loved member of the displays team who had been in the care of his keepers for 12 years. The keepers of the displays team had built a very close bond with Yatsey, as they do with all the animals in their care, and so this is a very sad time for them. Our thoughts are with Yatsey’s dedicated keepers whilst they are in mourning of their very sad loss. We would like to thank all those who have passed on their condolences and their support.
We understand that this unfortunate incident has been reported differently in the media but can confirm that the above information from ourselves here at Colchester Zoo is factually accurate.
The news of Queen Elizabeth’s passing saddened my heart as well as millions around the world. Her grace and many life experiences has been one I’ve followed since I can’t remember when!

We still have many egrets here, but as the years go by I see fewer which saddens me because we just don't seem to cafe about climate change and I cannot understand for the life of me why? This particular egret I considered a friend, until the day sadly they no longer came around.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
I think the human memory is strange. Some things you remember so vividly that it feels like it just happened. But then at the same time you feel like "did it really happen" and often I find myself thinking that I didn't quite live in the moment or appreciate the time to the fullest.
Really special events are ingrained in your brain to a very deep level. Certain things will help you survive in a dangerous situation without you necessarily even realizing that you used a memory to help you get out of a bad situation. In fact you probably don't even "remember" that you remember it.
I feel like my brain wants to help me in a similar way to get to a "happier place". The whole world has been on pause, my life has been affected by not being able to get a job and every day seems to be the same. I feel like life is just going by without me taking part in it. I guess a lot of people feel that way because of the pandemic. That 2020 is ruined, the whole year is cancelled.
To me my trip to Norway in 2019 was really special. It was the first of its kind for me; a really long road trip independently, sleep in a tent, be free and of course with really great company.
In the beginning of 2019 my mom passed away from cancer after a (thankfully for her) short but nonetheless frustrating and saddening battle. The trip was a good distraction to help my brain subconsciously process the reality of what had at that point happened 4 months ago. At the same time Norway was so great that I wanted to share the pictures with her, but the realization that it wasn't possible hit me.
Now that it's summer again, a scent or a location triggers a memory that reminds me of Norway. It takes me back to the feeling I had. I felt like maybe after all it's not the end of the world, that the world is just a little different now. A world where I can't share my greatest experiences with the most important woman in my life. It's definitely a sad world, but I think it also helps me develop myself. Makes it very apparent that in this unfair world there are things that I cannot control and just have to accept.
Memories help with going forward. Time makes memories golden, after all. Everything I experienced with my mom is now a memory and as time goes forward, I think they will just get shinier.
The human body knows what it needs for you to feel better and the subconscious is far more powerful than you realize, it's the SUBconscious, after all.
Cherish the best memories and try to walk the memory lane as often as you need. I think now is a good time to look back and really appreciate what good you have experienced. Browse the old photos, walk the same paths, eat the same foods. Whatever triggers a memory and brings you back to a good place.

When I recently came across that scene on a hike throught the Dresden Heather, impulsively I had to think of the current situation in our society. In so awful many fields two ore more unforgiving seeming parties facing each other. Light against darkness, good against evil ore love against hate. Each of these sides is proclaiming to stand on the right side of the picture, to be the good one and they see only the darkness in the others. This is saddening me badly. because nature, what we all are a part from, never worked out that way. Nature never was aspiring for isolation but always for blending, compensation and balance. It’s not for nothing that mixed forests are one of the most resilent and most bio diverse eco systems existing.
Als ich kürzlich bei einer Wanderung durch die Dresdner Heide an diesem Punkt vorbei kam, musste ich spontan an die aktuelle Lage in unserer Gesellschaft denken. In so schrecklich vielen Bereichen stehen sich zwei oder mehr unversöhnlich scheinende Lager gegenüber. Licht gegen Dunkelheit, gut gegen böse oder Liebe gegen Hass. Beide Seiten nehmen für sich in Anspruch auf der rechten Seite des Bildes zu stehen, auf der guten Seite und sie sehen in den anderen nur die Dunkelheit. Das betrübt mich zutiefst, denn die Natur, von der wir ein Teil sind, funktionierte noch nie in dieser Form. Die Natur strebt nicht nach Ausgrenzung sondern immer nach Vermischung, Ausgleich und Balance. Nicht umsonst ist der Mischwald eins der stabilsten und artenreichsten Ökosysteme die es gibt.

As a student of the game, it saddens me that Yogi Berra is more famous for his ridiculous statements than he is for his more outstanding skills as a baseball player. Yet, his quotes are very entertaining. :)

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of a shot from May 2019.
Today, 16th May 2023, marks the 10 year anniversary of my street photography journey.
Looking back at my older images it is clear to me that my confidence soared over that time to captured the images that I have been able to take.
There have been almost countless memorable moments throughout that journey. From the lows of one single encounter where I was physically assaulted, to the highs of photographing Emeli Sandé and undertaking my art on a national advertising campaign for one of the international top five companies, and all points in between.
While I am saddened that the pandemic has put a massive damper on my passion, I have continued to take street photography images throughout every one of those years, though obviously there are far fewer these past few. While the pandemic still rages it is not the primary reason keeping me from street photography today. Nor is my recently fractured foot.
I may share the reason in the coming days but either way, know that my passion for street photography remains as high now as it ever was.
It is you, all of you, that follow and enjoy my photography here on Flickr that have made every single moment special. Without you it would still be worthwhile but you make it special. I am honoured and humbled by each and every comment, favourite and view of my work here. Some of you have even followed me here for the whole of those 10 years! I am profoundly grateful to you all, beyond the measure of words, and many wonderful friendships have been made.
I raise a glass of water and some painkillers to the next 10 years.
Thank you all, each and every one. Stay safe.

When I first read this quote, I thought 'Yes, peace perfect peace. Alone with my thoughts, take a walk, a photo here are there and so on.... hence my title.
However when I Googled Ellen Burstyn, I was saddened to read about her very troubled life which led her eventually to this conclusion.
I realised how lucky I have been with my life and can appreciate my simple pleasures.. all the more.
I really appreciate any Views, Faves and Comments and I will try to visit your sites in due course. Thank you so much.
I made the short trip to Hope Valley on Saturday. A rarity these days because I've fallen out with the Dark Peak in general. I find the litter, ridiculous parking and grafitti all a bit too saddening. Why do people feel the need to carve their name in rocks? Who cares that you were there? Self important little shits. And breathe 😂
Anyway! I went and was glad I did on this occasion. An unpromising start turned into gold.
