Huge vote of confidence for Doohan there, jeez.

Honestly, it sounded like my Nan when she’s got her teeth out

All day long on the chaise longue

With bonus suffering!

Could you use a command strip or something?

I experienced this over several months some years ago. It was infrequent, but always when falling asleep- a loud bang like a gunshot or a bell directly behind my head. Interesting that they mention possible causes as stress and PTSD as it started occurring not long after I’d left an abusive relationship. Glad it didn’t stick around.

I hope you love them all. The Witches series was my favourite, my toddler is starting small, with “Where’s my Cow?”, but it’s just as good as the rest of them.

Pretty shocking really

Time to start practicing then! Try to get out on a couple of grade 3’s in your area before you head over.

I did it with hiking shoes because that’s all I had with me, but I’d recommend hiking boots with good ankle support instead. There’s a short scramble towards the top but it’s not overly difficult.

Another favourite of that trip was the Old Man of Storr up at the Isle of Skye. It’s a less technical hike but much more exposed to the elements and can get windy.

Also, I’m by no means a photographer. Scotland is just so stupidly pretty that you struggle to take a bad photo- get over there!

I took a hike up in to the Lost Valley in Glen Coe on the recommendation of a very drunk Scotsman at a nightclub in Edinburgh. It was the absolute highlight of my trip and I’m so glad I made it.

“I’m the boss, now you’re fired. How’s that for a fantasy, my friend?”

Basically she had written in her diary about her enduring feelings of guilt over the deaths of her children, which is what formed the base of the original case against her. Prosecutors argued that the children were probably smothered, despite there being no physical evidence for that.

A recent enquiry heard new evidence that at least 2 of her children carried a genetic defect that could potentially have caused their deaths, which coupled with the circumstancial nature of the evidence used in the original conviction was enough the NSW governor to pardon her under reasonable doubt. That pardon lead to a trial in the criminal court of appeals which have now acquitted her of the charges.

She was pardoned in June and has subsequently has been acquitted in the criminal court of appeals.
