I wasn't offered anything nor were my children. The exams were no big deal, just an obstacle we had to get over in order to move on and do what we wanted.

None of the faddy things last. Just eat slightly less, don't snack and move a bit more. It works for me when I put on weight. It's the energy in/out balance.

Be reassured I'm well within the range but I am checked ever year and I assumed everybody of my age would be too.

It is so difficult. I can't fully accept stories from either side. But my thoughts keep going back to the hostage taking that triggered this nightmare especially since the latest pictures.

I agree. Just been doing a Big Butterfly Count and got these in my garden in 15 mins on a not very good day. Imagine the difference if I had gone all low maintenance hard landscaping. Every one was a joy to see.

I sympathise. Was bitten in the south of France. I had to literally pull it off my leg. Elderly local told me they inject as much venom as they can and also give off a scent that attracts other bitey things to join in. Don't know how true it is but it was nasty. It did go down and no infection.

Poking something into my eye made me feel queasy and there was too much bad language involved when I failed so I gave up. Love having nice specs now.

Had a super evening there as usual. Lots to see, do and eat! Highlight for me was the chap who has converted an early twentieth century film camera with Instax technology to produce instant prints via a traditional lens system. Yup photo geek here.

I can't get to like avocados. They are served with lovely things like poached eggs, crab and smoked salmon and look very appetising but I really dislike the texture and "flat" taste. I keep trying because they are part of so many lovely dishes but....

I suspect it's a crow with some rogue white feathers. We had a blackbird like that around for a while. Think the term for this is leucistic.
