Since Willa decided she is a ratter I have been removing bodies from around the place and I am surprised at how many there are. I had seen the odd one or two and found evidence, especially in my poor polytunnel, of more but had no idea how many there were. Secretive little buggers! Still, she...

Hope day 2 went well and you're back in the swing of things

Big character, big man, worked hard and played hard, and it all came together to make him a prime candidate for a heart attack.

They say in the article that almost any plants could be used. Admittedly I didn't read the whole article in great detail so don't know if it was mentioned, but this brings up the possibility of using grassed sports fields to generate electricity.

Phone get separated from you in accident ... and/or has a Passcode - so you then download an APP that has the personal information about you on your phone's home page. Not sure about that ... but not sure the alternative is better / less ID-theft prone? and may still get separated from you in...

It's also affected by other things, such as poop! There are some very expensive coffees such as Kopi Luwak where the bean has been through the digestive tract of the palm civet - or Jacu where it has gone a similar way through the tract of the Jacu bird.

We had crossed line as well, the line between the green box's had lots of faults and being under ground as well with lots of people going into ditche's and getting stuck and hitting/damaging the cable was the problem

when it go's bang, it will be a big bang

Ah, they are the aubergine ones - lead lined in case they are needed to be sewn together in the event of a nuclear holocaust...... Every little helps.....
