Ain’t no party like an S Club party!
Ooh I like these!
Yep our travel is very much governed by the seasons, as well as whatever life throws at us in between. They are saying it is possibly going to be a very strong El Niño year too, which would tend to collapse trade winds (that we would rely on to cross the Pacific) and bring more tropical storms to the Pacific. So maybe this forced pause is a good thing.
We are on a sailboat…as may be obvious with the above paragraph! Oof, can you imagine how expensive crossing the Pacific would be right now if you were under engine power only?
Thank you! It’s going to depend a lot on when we get the all clear to sail again and where we can get to before hurricane season kicks in as a result. We are hoping to still be able to get through the Panama Canal but it could be getting too late to head that way by the time we can leave.
Our dog got sick Jamaica, where we couldn’t get her treated so we have completely abandoned our plans of heading across the pacific this year and are now in Honduras. She is almost completely recovered from surgery now but it’s been slow progress. At least it’s beautiful here, not a bad place to be stuck!
Try L&T (lemon and Te Aroha) if you haven’t already. It’s still uniquely kiwi and tastes great! It came out im the 1800s. Got discontinued for a few decades but is back and worth the switch.
Pekingese
They are really small and not easy to see if they are on their own but I did see it from the boat. It almost looked like a piece of rubbish at first. Just a little clear tube with a red dot. I guess there are different species of salp and I don’t know which one I saw. Apparently their numbers play a role in climate change. They filter carbon from the ocean and prevent it entering the atmosphere.
I saw a salp yesterday. Not a chain of them, just a single one. I’d never seen one before…or maybe never noticed them. Either way it was cool to see.
I think on the original offending post, OP made some somewhat inflammatory comments about ADHD and Autism further down. I imagine the downvoter felt personally hurt by these comments, hence the temporary spree, driven mostly by emotion. I don’t agree with the vote manipulation but not knowing their full story I would caution against people coming across this and retaliating against this person. It seems like it was just a short response and hopefully they have had a chance to cool off now.
I’m surprised how far down I had to scroll to find this as an answer!
Maybe this is already a well known fact to most of you but I only just discovered it and it’s made me a bit sad! The little jar symbol with a number in it on skincare and make up products tells you how many months it is good for after you open it. Often it’s a really short amount of time. I guess that teaches me to stop buying pricey skincare that I justify by not using as often so it lasts longer!

I’ve had it and I liked it. I prefer little pickles like cornichons though and you can’t have both.
