Firstly, picture to pay the dog tax.

Secondly, I didn’t have time this morning to walk her before working at 7am. We are both full of regrets on me not checking the weather forecast, it’s now 30 degrees Celsius at midday.

What do you all do to keep your Labrador entertained on a hot day, if it’s too warm for a walk? I know some of you are more experienced living in warmer climates than a silly British person like me.

Edit: hilarious and on topic typo in the title

Edit 2: My goodness, so many replies. Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions! My lab loves water and I have a doggy pool. It’s a shame she snubs her nose at it and just uses it to drink from. A lake would be much better 😂 I just took her for a sniffy walk to the woods near me as it’s now 25 C and played some sniffing games with her when we got back. Beach tomorrow! You guys are the best! Thank yooou

Found in a Gloucestershire, England. Looks like the classic ‘flaming grenade’ of the Royal Fusiliers to me. But just wanting confirmation. There were a number of Royal Welch Fusiliers (now Welsh Fusiliers) memorialised at the local church.

Apologies for the god awful photos.

Hi all. My fossil finding sometimes comes up with random results. I’m not a metal detector user (?) but thought this might be a good place to start.

Found in Gloucestershire, UK. Small 1cm ish ball with visible mold seams top and bottom. A very, very faint line around the diameter between them. Weighs 13g. Not magnetic. Dull silver, maybe lead?

Do I get excited about a pistol ball or is it a weight of some distribution? 😅 Area pretty well known for the Siege of Gloucester and smaller skirmishes in the English Civil War.

A Where’s Wally/ Waldo situation for you all!

Found this death soup mix in Gloucestershire UK (Blue Lias, Lower Jurassic area specifically). I’m seeing the classic, smashed up crinoid ossicles. Any ideas on the others? 😊

UK Spring means Bluebells for us. The woods and wild places look beautiful this time of year!

Shame about the Labrador ruining it. 😑

I found this little guy in Gloucestershire, UK thinking it was probably fossiliferous limestone. Not from any formation, it was found as is on the floor in a wood.

This isn’t typical limestone found in the area and I’m wondering what these brown staining/ oxidation could be? Whilst the limestone is hard, these brown spots are delicate and can break with a wipe of a finger.

Iron oxidising? Organic matter inclusions? Pyrite oxidation?

Edit: just for clarification, I broke this rock myself. The middle wasn’t exposed when found
