Lambs - followed by lip smacking and yum noises 😳
We are in Aberdeenshire so that happens a lot…

Whenever I see a sign for the Norfolk town of Swaffham I HAVE to say it in my best attempt of a deep Norfolk accept. I can’t help myself.

Animals, but the wrong name. A field of sheep = cows. Horses = pigs. Etc.

Journey with DH. Him- wow, those are really pretty cows. Me- that's because they're horses.
It's now been a joke for 20 years, every time we see a field of horses.

Men in the women’s toilets

Good bois - my house is next to a marina and lots of people walk their dogs on the path around the boats. So many good bois on a daily basis.

Rogue Apostrophes- looking at you Waitrose and your ‘Uber Eats and Deliveroo trolley’s here’ sign on the wall.

The Duck Tours Bus always gets an enthusiastic ’Quack Quack!’

@Vroomfondleswaistcoat thats such a lovely way to look at it, it made me smile!

I am absolutely face blind can’t recognise faces at all but will notice peoples trainers in the gym. If someone usually wears a hat and takes it off I wouldn’t know it was them.

The moon, especially in the daytime!

Recently it’s been worms and snails on the pavement - there has been loads!

DS has to shout “it’s a bus/lorry/digger/ambulance” every single time.

Cows ! Look cows !

We drive past a farm and they have a couple of Highland cows, plus their two adorable calves.
I always have to say "Hist, Heeland Coos"
I live in Yorkshire, and not in the least Scottish.

LadyEloise1 · 21/04/2024 20:27

Male and female ducks together- quite a few around at the moment. I know the drakes can be awful !

Someone wearing something I like.
