That looks deadly Capney, take care!

You could boil up some chopped up mint, as if making tea. Strain the cooled liquid and use as a mouthwash. Not sure of the quantities to use, you'd need to experiment. I have spearmint and applemint in my garden, not at this time of year though. Lovely with roast lamb.

You have certainly lived life to the full, Chopper, I enjoyed reading about your various stunts, even though you came a cropper. Nobody could ever accuse you of being a wimp, that's for certain sure!!! :D

All these decorations look really lovely!! Love the wooden reindeer!!:thumb:Val

:dh: Yes I read that too Zig, about more snow on the way..... :dh: Oh I don't know.... I love to look at it & I adore to walk in unmarked snow fields looking at your footprints, but it causes such a problem in itself, as we are never ready or prepared any more.... I don't think I mean us the...

A very happy Christmas to everyone!!

We got one of those from Mallorca ! She's currently trying to get everyone to buy her topless calender on Facebook. Its Ok, its all for charity :dh: Oh, don't worry, its not little Willow.

It's just a testament to their machinery that it can read the 6 font :D Pass the magnifying glass please

Hi Softee & welcome to the forums, Just sounds like a slime mould to me. Leaves rot down via a fungal process. Thats why we're not knee deep in them come next year.

:D Well done Davy.. As I say we saw people on ours we hadn't really realised were there & now we have photos taken from the film to remember them..... Maybe I am a real sentimentalist I don't know, but they have certainly brought allot of pleasure.. We copied a load for an old uncle in NZ & he...

They do grow up so quick. When you are young the days seemed endless, I even vaguely remember being bored when I was a boy. No time to be bored now! I think its because we all lead such busy lives we don't notice time slipping by.

Hi Maksim, No, I meant your part of Italia. I have been there a few times & I think its great. I have climbed one of your alps & stood face to face with a Bruni Alpini. I have visited the republic of San Marino & stepped back in time, they stamped our passports with a date 300 years ealier...

Yep, my wife always does.

Someones study on a bit of the actual planet.

Have put the sprat heads from lunch on the bird table. The carrion eaters will get into those before i get back down the garden no doubt. Oh bring on the solstice, had enough of the dark days already.

Hi Flower, Done that on a dead animal, but never on a live one.:skp:

Beautiful place and pictures-

Happy Birthday!!

We'll have to give it a try. Before reading this post in fact I was comparing your real picture with your avatar and I was amazed to see how ''you'' it looks.

Thinking about what I did enjoy - The Commitments - so funny, and the soundtrack was great too ! Angela's Ashes - enjoyed the film and the book even more. Don't bother with the sequel - 'Tis. That's bin material .
