I wonder if they are trying to tell us something (possibly look after our wildlife)?
He’s just popping in to support the protests in Westminster.

Lol, that is a very good point. Perhaps it isn't a real whale, but a number of protesters are inside it?

Just read about this big Mammal.

Apparently he is having a whale of a time.

Sue, was your roofer apologetic about your ceiling damage, and is he getting the professionals in to sort it (as opposed to him using some polyfilla)?

He said he will get it fixed, he seemed unfazed.
He won't get his final payment until it's all done, and that includes ceiling.

Unfortunately was not surprised by this news. There is not enough food int he area for him/her to finish her migration and probably has not eaten enough over the last few months.

Apparently the poor thing didn't look too healthy and it wasn't a surprise that he didn't make it.

At least he/she wasn't murdered by the nasty Japanese whaling ships (hard to be believe they are allowed to murder these magnificent creatures in their own habitat).

Quite agree and was not at all pleased to hear earlier this year Japan had withdrawn from the whaling commission and decided to restart whale hunting again. In the maritime museum in Auckland they have an area devoted to whale hunting with film showing how it changed over the years which was quite interesting and showed just how cruel it is.
