    National Risk Register/National Resilience Update - Nothing new to us.

    Had a wierd recorded message phone call from the water company thanking me for my patience while the water was out. Now most of the postcodes mentioned were ex postcodes and the ta ones were not mine. I've not heard anything about water outages on any news channels at all, and no phone calls...

    Some Sorbus today

    I tried to make rowan wine once. I had a cat at the time. The cloth covered bucket was stood in the kitchen and kitty decided it would be a good place to jump up on. Result, one pinkish cat, and the newly fermenting wine all over the floor! Just found a few berries myself for rowan and apple...

    I was sixteen and 3 weeks when I ended up alone with no parents, you have a great dad, your smart and independent thinking. You'll do just fine. You'll find those nuggets of woman's wisdom elsewhere. They won't be the same, but they will be equally relevant. You've got family here too. So don't...

    Hmm, even alone contestants take things with them to help them survive. This states "nothing but the clothes on your back......100 days" wishful thinking and a recipe for mountain rescue call outs within a few days.and some big lawsuits if it goes pear shaped. That aside, how about a girls...

    Coping with the heat.

    I was in the car park at the farmers market. The puddles had a black background as it was tarmac so couldn't realy see just by looking. I did wonder about scooping some up in my bag to look, but it would have been an odd thing to do in front of dozens of people when it was raining. Nothing...

    Well, nobody can accuse me of being clingy for sure. But you'd be surprised by how many of my generation can't cope with an independent woman who knows her own mind. Generational differences i guess. My last bushcraft trip in March saw me coping with camping in storm dave and skinning...

    Why? I don't like them either, I prefer beeswax, which do smell nice, and natural.. Do you mean the highly synthetic scented ones ones, or just the scented candle scenario altogether? Why does it worry you? I just avoid them like the plague! No worries. If others wish to have their lungs full...

    Oh no ... ( sigh), it was a tounge in cheek comment. Ease up chaps.! Tee dee, you have me totaly wrong. I've worked in mostly male environments most of my life. As you know, banter is the norm...until I join in that is. Somebody always has to take umbrage or start psycho analysing me. Making me...

    Coping with the heat.

    Beautiful rain today! ( saturday,) been waiting since it was promised on Thursday. Got totaly soaked twice, and loved every moment of it. Back to my beloved jeans and t shirt instead of a dress. Im so deliciously happy, so is my garden. No watering cans tonight. Whoo hoo! Strangest thing tho...

    Thank you Tee Dee. Women are used to organising a home and getting on with the "housework" so have more inbuilt ability to see what needs doing, organise, and get on with what ever needs to be done. Men are needed (?) For the hard graft. I remember one episode where some of the chaps went out...
