Is the site down?
It would seem that cupoftea.social has gone down!

Today I got up tired,
And went to meet Sue at work.
Cleaned the church,
Then found the paint codes for the car.
Did a little filing,
And some admin.
Then went back to bed in the afternoon,
And got a solid 90 minuted sleep.
Did caretaking,
And cleaned the Meeting House.
Met with the drains chap,
He's doing some repairs at the work carpark.
Watched a few videos,
But many not loading on FreeTube.
Also @Cupoftea.social has stopped working!
Amser gwely,

Resting Owl Face
by Bird TLC in Anchorage
“This owl sustained multiple injuries when he was hit by a car, so he will be with us for a while. This is a good reminder for all of us to slow down and pay attention when driving."

We have done a local litter pick, on our road and the local green.

It really makes you despise people when there are used vapes and broken bottles in the grass where kids and dogs play!

Also litter in general that doesn't need to have been litter.
Used latex gloves are now featuring a lot, as used by folks at the local day care, nursing home, and our home care visitors.
Who's to blame? Who knows, as it could be just wind blown from overfull bins.

Hmmmm...
I am hoping #MakersHour works tonight. I have scheduled everything, but I am having trouble with my usual account and the @MakersHour account.

If I am not about, that will be why, but hopefully the questions will still go out on time.

See you o the other side. 🤞
