      I've been away from the computer since June 2022. It's literally like a breath of fresh air to be back with you guys. I'm ready to snuggle in for a long Canadian winter in a couple of weeks.
      So nice to have over a year's backlog of your videos in store and oh, how exciting, a new channel too! W00t!
      Love playing "Spot the Find" Alex. I am woefully out of practice. Adjusting to monocular vision while vicariously mud-larking. There's a wonderful winter ... goal.
      Best dust off the vocabulary.
      A word for goal or objective beginning with a"W" anyone?

    Yeah he’s burnt up a bit,but service must prevail!
    He’s my favorite find this time around.
    I will be mudlarking in 3 weeks!!
    This will be my second go at it,the London tides will be less than stellar during my stay,sadly.
    Also,my offer still stands,lovely Gail.
    I would marry you!😊🥰
    I’m a hard working 52 year old man,I would make a great addition to your home.
    Take this as seriously as you like😂
    I am quite serious☺️😌❤️

You have even inspired me to go to a local abandoned psychiatric center, where on a hill there is an old bottle dump! Found some old clothes, some nice cobalt blue bottles, and some old makeup containers. Keep up the awesome work! Love from new york ❤❤❤

    Don't smush the shield bug. They are not so affectionately called stink bugs in the US. An invasive species that torments us throughout fall and then some. Congratulations on your wee butler find Alex!

    • @dwhatsit1
      @dwhatsit1 8 месяцев назад

      Stink bugs are taking out orchards along our east coast, hence our lack of affection for them. They prey on tree sap and are causing all sorts of headaches.
      I used to like them because they're, otherwise, very docile and nice little guys! But they procreate like crazy AND invasive....
