Blog2019 ≫ Bear with me...

I get so used to seeing people saying "bare with me" in written communications that I have become blinded to it, and when I saw "bear with us" on the banners at the Harbour Arm at the weekend, I got overexcited and thought they were wrong. HAHAHA SEE THE MISTAKES I said to Clare, and I convinced her for a few minutes that the Harbour Arm had got it wrong. Even after she searched online for examples in dictionaries I wouldn't believe it, I have made such a great study of this that I cannot possibly be wrong! But I was wrong, of course. I double checked some work I had done that passive-aggressively responds to Slack messages with a 🐻 emoji if anyone says "bare with me", and phew, that was correct ("bare with me" is incorrect, and my bear response is correct) so at least I was an idiot only for a short while, and not an idiot for months and months at work...

Why must we bear with you though Harbour Arm? Why is everything shut? Will it all be open for the bank holiday weekend? I hope so. The Harbour Arm website1 says it is all opening in April.

We went down the steps to see the Antony Gormley statue that is covered with water at high tide, and got our feet wet.

Was a bit of a grey day yesterday but we had a nice walk round.
