          Okay! I will see about that one next and we can compare notes.

          So far I I have watched: The Whale, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, and Pi.

          (Ellen Burstyn is astonishing in Requiem!)

    I regularly travel on busy tram routes with a number of tram options. One thing I’ve learned is that 90% of people will always board the first tram, even when there are clearly one or two more coming directly after it. This leads to an overcrowded first tram and blissfully empty second and third trams. I consider it an important life lesson. It’s generally best to wait for the second or even third tram. Thank you for listening.
    Happy Friday 😊

      I go for the second one as well, but I have had it be cancelled/diverted before, so do feel cautious about doing it.

      I noticed this with buses, in situations where no bus comes for a suspiciously long while and then 2 arrive at the same time. Cruising in the near empty second bus 😎

      Spotlight has pinstripes, plains and semi-geometrics as well as the granny florals. I would imagine most manufacturers would have at least some designs that aren’t floral.

    passed my Azure exam! Also “Mama” is now “Mummy”. I’m still “dada” but hes working on it. something like “dada-ey?” I also told him the other day “no chance” of me getting in the sprinkler with him. He goes “Chance!” so we ended up running around the house going “Chance!” “No Chance!” “Chance!” for a while.
