For those with a scientific bent, National Geographic have produced a video about a study being performed in Brazil as to why fungi bioluminesce. http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/magazine/150213-ngm-glowing-mushrooms?source=relatedvideo At the moment, noone knows whether the glow has a...

Incidentally, I went back in daylight and photographed the stick that had drawn my attention whilst answering the call of nature during the night:

I've been out camping for the past 6 days and noticed this where my husband had pulled up an old rotted stump: Apparently, there are more than 75 species of known bioluminescent fungi, but I'd never seen one before so was delighted with my find :)...

I echo all the other thank yous, but in addition a special thank you to all those that helped me look after my baby. Life for me would have been really hard without Sargey, Ross, Sarah, Dave, Mark, Lorraine, Pete, Magda, Shelly, Sam and Matt and numerous others who stepped in to hold him for a...

Sounds like the start of an epic adventure, all the better for a banquet at the end. Looking forwards to reading about them when they arrive.

I don't mind warm and wet (Cornwall) or cold and dry. But cold and wet has been pretty miserable the past few weeks. What a pleasure today to have thick frost and sunshine. We went for a 10 mile hike round and about, taking in the Mugdock park cafe enroute :) Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

Time I updated this, but it turned into a lot of failed effort for me! I did learn a few things. I went for making a light double quilt with foot pockets. Similar to the down blankets thermarest make to go with their mattresses. I designed internal baffles, based on concentric rings with...

I must confess, I gave our kenwood away on freecycle. A delightful cake-baking lady took it off us :) I have a stick blender for soups, bread maker, coffee/spice grinder and halogen oven in the kitchen. We had a coffee machine in the kitchen, but weren't using it...then I moved it to the...
