I managed to take a great photo of Haidinger's brush this morning. A fascinating phenomenon worth looking into. Z Edit: If you can't spot it straight away, try rotating your head from side to side.

This year I have a plan to try Japanese Knotweed. Apparently a bit like rhubarb. The trick is to find a patch you are sure hasn't been sprayed. Edit: I should add that you really shouldn't take it off site and anything you cut but don't eat needs to be burnt on your fire. Z

If only a dentist would comment...! Z

I thought Nic wasn't making axes anymore? Z

Poncho! In warm spark-resistant wool for chilly nights round the fire in the woods. Thank you Tengu! Z

PM is on it's way to you most excellent Tengu. And for you a mundane link...
