Jack would only eat the fruit, and only the ripe ones. He would very delicately suck the blackberry and if it didn't come off easily he would leave it for the next day

My pool robot.
Makes the porn videos a bit dull*, but cleans the pool lovely.
Crystal clear water with just a hint of liner blue.




*apparently most 80s/90s 'entertainment' videos always started with a pool boy swishing the pool out, so I've been told!

Wasn't Yorick's basement set up as a sex video dungeon - within waddling distance from his pool?

Just saying ... :)
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

At work this afternoon I was near the walking/cycling bit. It's not really used by the main bikers as it does'nt go where they would want, but lots of kids use it

I watched a little kid on a 'first pedal bike' type thing going past me a couple of times - 100% concentration on his face to the point that he looked proper fierce!!

After a couple of passes, he realised I was there and looked at me. I was already smiling hugely as he was so cute (albeit fierce!) and he looked at me and about a second after, his face broke into a huge smile too :D :D :D

This happened for the next few passed. Fierce little person sees big person grinning widely with encouragement and breaks into a grin himself :wub:

Blooming awesome :wub: :wub:
