On the subject of seeing satellites with the naked eye, the ISS flew over at 7am on Christmas Day - we went out and watched, told my son it was Santa on his way home :slight_smile:

There’s a website where you can check when it’s visible, well worth the effort

Did you just think the picture on the label was a coincidence? or had you just never looked?

I never knew that. Just assumed it was a weird, old logo!

The fizzy water type, or the juice of lemons?

My son hates fizzy drinks, he occasionally has watered down fruit juice, but mostly just water!

Fizzy type. She only drank half because she said it wasnt healthy!

I’ll have to share it with Mrs W!

When she was ill with suspected covid and feeling at her worst, she was seriously planning her own funeral. She’d picked out the eco-friendly coffin and the woodland burial site that she wanted to be buried at. She was convinced that her days were numbered :open_mouth: .

One of her big loves is books and we’ve got book shelves all over the house, so that book shelf/coffin combo would be perfect :rofl:
