I worked with some Indian guys in England for a couple of years. One of them mentioned to me that, after living and working in England for many months, when he went back to India for a hol. it took his digestive system a little time to get used to everything again - despite being born-and-bred...

As well as lighting their fires I think that they're doing it to get their own back on me for shooting a number of their brethren in the past. You'd think that me planting a load of new trees for them would have paid that debt off? Nah...

It's not just Ash dieback (and Beeches) to worry about: for example, the Grey Squirrels have brutalised many (most) of the Silver Birches in my woodland, stripping the bark around the whole tree in great lengths. As the top of the trees die parts of them are getting blown down in the wind / gales.

I regret getting rid of most of my Vinyl albums, 20 or so years ago, as I started to buy music CDs a little more. I didn't realise how many memories were attached to them there LPs.

I was hiking in some nearby hills recently. I don't always stick to the regular paths but follow sheep and pony paths occasionally. Unknowingly, I disturbed a Hare in its Form. It waited until I was only a metre or two away before legging it. (It must have been well asleep!) I put my hand down...

A man walks in to a Doctor's. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. "Aha! I can see what's the matter with you," says the Doctor. "You are not eating properly."

Interesting. Ta!

A sandwich walked into a bar. The barman said "Sorry, we don't serve food in here."

The advantage of exercising every day is that you'll die healthier.

My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son of a bitch.

To save me doing a lot of typing, here are the guidelines from the aforementioned book. Also refer to the image I posted above.

Nice one. Ta!

From Reginald & Gladys Laubin's The Indian Tipi (1977 edition): "To tie the poles as Scarlet Whirlwind did, start as in the detailed drawing, with a clove hitch. Leave several feet of rope and wrap it around three or four times and then finish with two half-hitches. This tie rope should be of...

Interesting, and a very relaxing watch. Ta!

Many thanks...

Did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper? He sold his soul to Santa.

Neat idea. Where did you get the seat fittings for the pouches from / what are they called? The only ones I've been able to find searching are rigid ones. (And they seem to have firearms strewn all over them!)

A blind man is at the Optician's with his guide dog. Both are facing the eye test chart on the wall. The Optician takes the guide dog away, replaces it with another guide dog, and asks "Is that better or worse?".

I soaked my baseball cap in water from a stream, hoping that the evaporation of it from my head in the breeze would help cool me a little while hiking. I think that evaporation rate may be lower in high humidity, so I can't say that I noticed whether it actually worked or not, but I'll try it...

If you do something like that again, without a stove, you could try making yourself a batch of Logan Bread before you start. High energy food. Numerous recipes out there...
