The three "terrified" cats were discovered inside a taped-up cardboard box in a hedge near Ilminster and taken to Ferne Animal Sanctuary.
A sanctuary spokesperson, said: "These poor cats were so lucky to be found.
"They were not placed somewhere they were likely to be spotted and would more than likely have starved to death." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3glddq7p37o

Greece welcomed over 30 mln tourists last year
Travel receipts in 2023 totaled 20.59 billion euros, up by 16.5% compared with 2022, the Bank of Greece said on Tuesday in a final report on 2023.
This development was driven by an 11.6% increase in receipts from residents of the European Union, which stood at €11.17 billion or 54.2% of total travel receipts, and by an 18.3% rise in receipts from other counties’ residents to €8.57 billion. https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1237798/greece-welcomed-over-30-mln-tourists-last-year/

Whilst MS acknowledge there will be no automatic fix, the manual instructions to change partition size are still valid.
https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/kb5034441-has-led-us-astray-in-a-horrible-way/#post-2666047 Thanks for that, Tony! I always kept an eye open for askwoody.com and computerhope.com back in the days before I discovered Linux Mint. I rediscovered them but recently, only to forget again. Still very informative, though I'm often surprised by GGi readers who'll happily "follow manual instructions to change partition size" and those who'll be wary of taking the side cover off their desktop pc. Hey ho!
