UK politics and I doubt it travels but it brought a smile to yours truly 😀
Apologies to any of a gentle disposition if any language offends 😉
At my Train station today the Italian Barista lady is back for the first time / and I bought a bacon sandwich from my London station (shops open) for the first time as well... feels like some light at the end of a long tunnel / the most amazing London sites now :0)
She is rather feisty, sporty young Italian lady- who likes to practice her kick boxing in the early hours before us bleary eyed commuters rock up - not a lady to be trifled with... but serves a fine (ish) Americano and a rather tasty citrus ring.
I just read through this entire thread ... can't believe I hadn't seen it before, but there you are ... the distractions of the moment.
Here are a few photos to share that I hope contribute to the spirit.
First, a pic (already posted in another thread) of a sunset about a mile from my birth home. This was the summer of 2016, Penobscot, Maine, on a family trip home:
Second, a pic of our recently departed cat, Melman, who succumbed to feline diabetes in April. He loved laying in front of our fireplace on chilly winter nights:
Third, a photo from last November of a footbridge on the campus of the school where I teach. I was walking to work and I took this early in the morning:
Finally (for now), a picture sent to me by my son of himself and some of his buddies while training in the field last month at Fort Campbell. As he texted to me with the photo, "The Army goes rolling along, virus or no virus!"
