Splotts Meaning
Some of the cold soup mixed with the custard and went into my mouth – surprisingly enough they didn’t taste too bad together. I loved the sight in the mirror; there was a cascade of yellow and red from my head and shoulders, running down my jumper, in lines down the skirt and dripping with loud splotts into the green slime in the bath. What's a Sploot? A sploot is a type of stretch that some pets do. Although it's typically associated with corgis, many types of dogs and cats can sploot too. This special stretch is defined as a pet laying on their belly while stretching their legs out behind them. The Splotts as usual. A different department will be organising it this year and Tom will keep a watching brief. Tom confirmed the licence appn has been submitted. RSPCA – Hayley confirmed there would be 2/3 uniformed staff present and two other staff. There would also be a private vet in attendance. The RSPCA would be based at the police bus.

Symbolically, trees can be found celebrated in folklore and myth dating back to the oldest stories from all around the world. Often they were depicted as female spirits, such as the dryads and meliae of Greek mythology, and Lithuanian laumės. Even more frequently, trees themselves have been revered, such as the Norse 'World Tree', Yggdrassill, and the Hindu sacred fig.
But our Ent is manifestly male, and male tree spirits are less common in these kinds of legends. He is perhaps a closer kin to the Green Man, whose vine-infused face can be found in all sorts of places from pub signs to church pews. We also shouldn't ignore the prominent horns that sprout from his head, which link him to the Celtic Cernunnos, and in turn to fertility.
