Enchanting moment
fox cubs frolic on the bank
innocent playtime

- Yesterday I was lucky enough to watch three, at least, fox cubs playing on the far bank of the urban River Frome. I was captivated by them, having first heard them rustling in the undergrowth. I watched on for about ten minutes, wishing that I could share the moment with other passer’s by, but there were none. I had to leave because the dog, bless him, was getting restless. He couldn’t see the fox cubs because the river is bounded by a 4ft high wall. My photographs were a bit fuzzy because I was on full zoom, this is one of the better ones.

- When I sat down to the computer early this morning, this abbreviation was open on the Google search page. Heaven only knows what my wife had been reading, but my guess is that other readers had left ‘tl;dr’ in the comments. Although I work in communications, this is the first time I have come across this expression and I love it.
