I used to admire those

I used to admire those bicycle locks too with the chain buried in some trendy looking plastic tubing. I can just imagine an uncle indulging in a trick like this, they certainly do 'love to tease', it's their job.

A reset button without all
Posted on Sun, 15 Oct 2023
A reset button without all the solicitors expenses. The beauty of the spouse bot is that, unlike people, it can be modified at the touch of a button, until the machines get too clever and start outsmarting us that is. Thank you for reading.

Wonderfully done Jenny. There is no greater playground than the woods. I was fortunate enough to attend a primary school bordered by a strip of woodland which we were not supposed to enter but of course we did. Love, 'branches appear to stoop...
