@manx Not very common now. It was a way of using up stale bread and making a cheap meal for the children. It was already less common when I was a child.

@manx A sort of fancy pobs. (Pobs is a dialect term for bread soaked in milk.)

@matigo Actually, not as far north as I thought. Calgary. Something like that.

@matigo We’re level with somewhere in the middle of Canada, but the Gulf Stream keeps us warmer than that.

@literary Bembo swam once, when he ran into a pond by accident chasing some birds. He’s not tried to go in again. He even walks round puddles if there’s a choice, so I don’t suppose he’d want to go in the water, but he might have fun exploring while I take photos of the rocks and hunt for fossils.
This is the one I want to go to.

@literary Probably. We haven’t had more than a few flakes in his lifetime so far. He loves rolling on frosty grass though. And speaking of things he hasn’t seen, I really need to take him to the beach.

@kdfrawg That’s something. It’s still a pain having to get it fixed, but not as bad as having to pay for it as well!
