Hi, Page! You doing all right today?

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. I think affect and effect counts... Depending on dialect, maybe. Other examples include their and there, your and you're, it's and its, advice and advise, red and read, etc. EDIT: An and and are only homophones some of the time, lol! And still I find those pesky stray 'd's everywhere...

Aww, hope he feels better soon. Ear infections really are terrible...

So far she's ignored it, lol!

A good friend of mine has a, don't know what the breed would be called in English, a Norwegian breed called Nordlandshest. He's over twenty now, too. He's so patient and such a sweetheart. They took him on the metro once to film an ad. He was cool as a cucumber the whole time.

Of course you do. Just saying, it happens to us all from time to time. If it makes you feel any better, I know the difference between 'an' and 'and', but sometimes I read back on something I've written and find a stray 'd' where it doesn't belong. Sometimes my fingers run away from me.

Well done with the painting! Hope the rest of your day goes well.

Hey, Marty! I went to Dublin once. Was visiting Ireland with my friend who's half Irish, to see her dad and grandparents and things. We went to a few different places. I liked Dublin a lot. We went there with her aunt Hi, Bob! Hope the new storm isn't too bad. I'm good, just got back from IKEA with some stuff we needed. Clothes drying rack, bread knife, french press, a few odds and ends that we no longer had because they belonged to my former flatmate. Hi, Gary! Aww... I love horses. Always wanted to learn how to ride. When I was eight my dad took me to a riding school to try it out and look into maybe getting me riding lessons, but somehow I managed to embarrass him by saying something that may or may not have insulted the riding teacher, and my dad did not take kindly to being embarrassed, so he never took me back. So no riding lessons for me. Hi, Clo! We had 7℃ here today. Warmest it's been in a while. Now the sun's gone down, though, so it's getting colder. Had a gorgeous sunset on the way home from IKEA.

Hi, molly. That's an awful lot of e-mails! Good luck! Hi, Reader! How are you today? Back from IKEA. Got a drying rack for clothes, a bread knife, a french press, a few other bits and bobs... Got a sheep skin that Tesla will hopefully like to hang out on. It smells a lot like sheep...

I'm glad.

Lol! Shit happens, dude. Homophones are hard.

Morning, Dugh! Warmer here today, too. Morning, Kitt! How are you?

Such an important message, and wonderfully worded. It also puts me in mind of old protest songs. Would be cool to put music to it. There aren't enough protest songs being written anymore, imo.

You too!

Like the word. Never even heard that before, though I may have to use it at some point now. Agree about the quote, though. Would be great if it were that easy, huh?

it’s brighter now out there the sun melts the frost from bare branches snow and ice thaws into slush on the road dark green spruces set against the sky, a pale winter blue and if you listen you can hear sparrows and wagtails no wind to drown out their song it’s brighter now in here the sun melts the pain from cold fingers it’s brighter now than it’s been all winter

Morning, Def! How are you?

Hi, B!

Morning, everyone! Hope most of those of you across the pond are still sleeping comfortably in your beds, lol! Glad you're all safe! Nah, man. I'm Nerd Chic. It's all t-shirts with pop culture references over here.

Morning, DiC! It's sunny here today. Boyfriend and I are taking a quick IKEA trip later to get some stuff that we now no longer have. Nearest IKEA takes like 20 minutes to get to so that helps. Unfortunately, the heating in the living room was accidentally unplugged last night, so it's coooold! lol Have a good day, everyone! I'll be hanging around.

Lies!! ...okay, now bed.

I'm feeling sleepy, so I'm gonna try and go to bed while it lasts. Night, everyone!

Feeling sleepy. Going to take advantage of the feeling and go to bed before 2 am for once... See you tomorrow! Goodnight, all.

On that note... I feel I must share: https://satwcomic.com/proud-finland

That's lovely. It's getting a bit warmer here, too.
