"A long-term ceasefire has been agreed between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip." BBC et al.Let's all hope it can last.
Finger sign might be a bit rude!

If you do want to peel mushrooms you probably already have a peeler - best by far is your finger and thumb. Just pinch the peel at the bottom (ie...
