I bought a bed a few weeks ago. I wonder how long it’ll be before all the adverts on the internet aren’t trying to get me to buy another bed. After all, I’m clearly interested in collecting beds.

PaulMMCooper The drought in Central Europe has shrunk the rivers & exposed “hunger stones”, where people of the past recorded droughts & the famines they caused.

One of the stones recently uncovered in the Elbe is carved with the words, “If you see me, weep.”

@Catreia @Kavey @ahnlak Yes, I’m fine, ta. And the other driver’s (a) fine too and (b) has admitted full liability, so it could be worse.

@Kavey @ahnlak On the plus side, by the looks of it my drive to Northumberland will be in a gert big Nissan which seems very comfy.

@Kavey @ahnlak Seemed much more modern, but I didn’t really have it for long enough to judge! They do a five-door model which I think is a big bigger, too.
