Someone should invent Disposable Duvets. Big tick from me. That way we wouldn't have to spend half a day each week / month / year (delete as appropriate) changing the expletive duvet cover.

Ace! Almost a pity that it had to be sacrificed!

For a while I watched the moon, Jupiter and Venus all aligned last night too, from the South Coast (Hastings). It was as the sun was going down and, as the clear blue sky became steadily darker and darker in the west, the moon and the two planets got brighter and brighter. And the other stars...

Some fine looking food there! Nice vid - somehow the food looks more real when it moves! Thanks for sharing.

Yesterday I came across my first finding, this year, of frogspawn. It was in a very small pool up around 630m (~2,100 feet) in the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons NP (U.K.). I came across 3 or 4 more lumps in small pools around 700m a little later in the afternoon. I've been keeping an eye...

Thanks for the pix. Interesting. And they've stimulated my appetite somewhat for this evening's repast!

That vid was a real delight! Ta!

I'm pleased to hear that there were open-minded omnivores at the Moot. I assume that the cannibalism was consensual?

I'm sure that some politician will come up with the idea of Emission Zones for wood burning stoves, so you pay an annual licence fee according to how polluting your stove is. (Of which most of the revenue will go in to management of the system and little into green or renewable projects.)

A man takes his dog, who is unwell, to be seen by the Vet. The Vet leads the poor old dog into the consulting room. After about 10 minutes the Vet comes back out to the waiting room and says to the owner "Excuse me sir, but will you say 'Ahhhh...'?" "Why should I say 'Ahhhh...'?" says the dog's...

What do you call an Italian man with a rubber toe? Roberto.

One day Dracula is walking down the street, when suddenly 10 tons of smoked salmon sandwiches, bread rolls, pitted olives, chicken wings, chipolatas, tomato salad, pizza slices, and crisps descend upon him from a great height, knocking him to the ground. "Oh no!" he gasps with his dying breath...

Tidy. Well done!

Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll have a play with the ideas.

Any ideas on protecting the semi-rigid hip belt / harness on some rucksacks from airport baggage handlers? I'm concerned that the belt's attachment to my pack will get damaged when packed into the baggage trailers and then loaded into the hold, and will then become less supportive in use. The...

I've used a fire blanket folded multiple times several times in a tent under my Fourdog stove. Seems to do the job, and protects the groundsheet from any embers or sparks when adding wood to the stove. And, like nigelp, I use a soldering mat under small cooking stoves to protect the table or...

The comments are salutary. Thanks for posting.

Two parrots sitting on a perch. One says to the other "Do you smell fish?".

Indeed! "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." [Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti.]

I'd understood that there were too many humans on our planet. There certainly seems to be too much wildlife! Very interesting and relaxing. Ta!
