The new bridge that joins Mactan Island to Cebu City is now open - it saves about 30 minutes on my journey between my residences so it’s pretty useful.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Well, apart from someone appearing to have an odd skin growth coming out of their back, to the left of the picture, it appears from the angle taken that one statue is performing a sex act, as they say, on another, if that's what you have in mind.
Autocorrect can be fun! Earlier today I was texting with a friend about the "special military operation" in Ukraine. We were speculating if the explotion in Crimea was the work of special forces and I mentioned the SBU Alpha Group. Autocorrect decided this was wrong and "corrected" it to Sofa Group. 🤣
Me too. What an awful and cowardly attack on this great author. I was shocked to hear of his stabbing on the radio news this evening but I suppose he has lived under the shadow of such an assassination attempt for over thirty years, since the publication of The Satanic Verses in 1988.
It had been hoped that this threat had receded somewhat over the years, but it would appear not, the motivation of his attack being currently unknown. At least his attacker has been arrested at the scene in New York and I really hope the authorities literally throw the book at him.

I heard a JB joke the other day and I thought I would share.
The next Bond film will see 007 transition from a man to a trans woman.
It will be called '*ocktopussy'
You fill in the missing letter.

Is this Scotand? No, it’s rainy season in Cebu, Philippines 😂
Could've fooled me!
That's clearly from a flat part of Norway!
Is there anything in this photo you find strange or unusual? Maybe elements you rarely see in the same photo? Feel free to zoom.
Look in the far back ....

I didn't noticed the two statues ..... facing each other. 🤣
And you may not have noticed the person standing behind the two statues, in the Next room...
Slightly better weather with me for the minute 👍🏻
That looks lovely @Sir Miles which part of the world is that?
Let me "zoom in".

A Sofa Group - you mean like Air Supply or Steely Dan ?
A Sofa Group - Tony Blair's preferred form of government.
🤣🤣 Cheeky !
I question how fit Ukraine's Sofa Group really is. I spendt ours in my sofa group and sofa .... so far I haven't seen much progress.
That’s Vancouver Island…and it is stunning 🤩
Nice! It reminds me of parts of my country, and I'm sure you can find a lot of landscapes like that in Sweden and Finland.
I’m sure you can 🍸
I’ve never seen so many bloody trees in my life though 🤣🤣
Sorry, just a throwback to my Constitutional Law dissertation days. 😉
That's how I remember Finland! 😁
Fantastic! Have a great time 🍻
I'm watching a group of porpoise attacking a shoal of fish from my window right now. Dinnertime for the porpoise!
I'm sure you're watching with porpoise. 😉
😂
Thanks, it’s been fantastic so far 🍸
Today I pray for the life of author Salman Rushdie after the brutal knife attack.
