Well, that's self-explanatory, I think.

Those cat orchids are so sweet ( yeah, I know) but imagine how sad you'd feel when they start to go over, and droop and go brown....

I think I'm basically after a vespa, but with arm rests!

That would be pretty cool. Pastel colours or red with go-faster stripes?

Yesss! Go for it Boily! I can hear Steppenwolf in the background:

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Born to be wi-i-i-i-i-i-l-d.

@Boiledbeetle my husband goes out Saturday 8am, by the time i come downstairs ready for the day all the cupboards are full. I hate shopping.

i do most of the cooking mind.

Well... I've got my mileage going all the way back to 2009!!

I have a white van for my gardening business and i love it.

I've grown used to online supermarket shopping that now if i go to the big supermarket it is just all too much! Too much stuff, too much choice, too many people, such bright lights, no bloody manned tills unless I want to walk right back down to the other end of the shop! I have been known to use the instore electric scooters and sending hapless looking staff off to find things for me, so there are some joys to actually going into the shop!

Oh go faster stripes definitely. I like the black versions more than the red though! No to pastel!

Ooh, you temptressbeetle!

I'm more 'born to be mi-i-i-i-i-l-d 🎶'

My car seized up and was scrapped about a year ago. I don't miss it, but I miss the idea of it.

Exactly! I will miss the car, but I won't actually miss the car!

The neighbour who has car parking issues has arrived home. I must go stick a glass against the joining wall!

And if my neighbour's other half is on here and is thinking this all sounds familiar re the car... You could do so much better than him love!

Considering how many years I spent in construction I'm always shocked at myself that I've never driven a van! Ever!

I've driven a milk float though. Once! Then I crashed it into the pavement fully loaded at 3 in the morning and the milkman wouldn't let me try a second time!

There's a car thread in trending! And the husband is having a fit as his wife didn't fill up and now she's only got 40 miles worth of petrol left! I realised the last time I put petrol in the car we hadn't yet heard of Covid!!!!

That's how you get pints on your license.

😂

Boom.tish!

Reactions to this story will vary depending on whether you are a puffin, a rat, a ferret, a dog or a Rathlin/Reachlainn islander.
I think the headline
Woody the dog switches detection skills to save puffins
and the photo are wonderful!
Rathlin: Woody the dog to become a rat catcher on NI island

What a good boy! #TeamPuffinAndDog

@FuzzyPuffling will survive thanks to woody!!

I've driven a tractor a few times. That's quite fun!

Now that I'd love to try!

I was at a hospital the other day and there were a couple of wheelie bin tow tractors bimbling about. I really, really wanted a go.

(I was there because they may be getting closer to undertaking a bodywork repair I need.)

This sort of tractor.

I love Woody.
Woody for PM.

@Chersfrozenface those are fun! I want one of those little gas powered forklifts you see whizzing around factories and packhouses.
