  1. Bit of advice when feeling a little weathered by age after a death; get yourself a pup, takes the mind forward to the future rather than dwelling back on the past You're only are old as the dogs in your kennel.........................
  2. As a approaching geriatric i recon active recovery is always best, just keep it sensible lol.
  3. Feel the quality is improving.
  4. Controlling temperature - Homeostasis – WJEC - GCSE Biology (Single Science) Revision - WJEC - BBC Bitesize WWW.BBC.CO.UK Study homeostasis, including hormonal control of blood sugar, and how the skin helps maintain body temperature...
  5. So where are they?? If i saw a dead leopard by the road i'd get a photo, as would a lot of people, just about everyone has a mobile phone with them these days. Our eyes play tricks on us all the time hence people thinking they have seen a big cat or alien etc, its not an insult just a reality of how our minds work and a glimpse of something whilst driving past is the perfect scenario for such eye/mind errors. If there were a real body someone would stop and take a picture, the police would be called and it would be a national story and as I've stated before it would be all over social media in
  6. But that's the point they are't covered, there are no road kills etc and all the excuses in the world can't deny that.
  7. 'Big cat' sighting in Derbyshire village leads to police callout - Derbyshire Live WWW.DERBYTELEGRAPH.CO.UK The catlike, cunning beast appears to have given officers the slip
  8. Still no road kill, decent images or evidence. No cubs being flushed from harvest or the beating line, no cats treed by dogs or caught on CCTV. No pumas protecting cubs or leopards predating dogs. As ever just the few instances of the eye playing tricks on the mind when a shadow becomes a monster, a fox a puma. To move the thread along, I understand there is talk of re introducing the Lynx to Scotland which would be interesting although, as controlling deer numbers is the main reason, perhaps wolves would be a better species. The European wolf would likely be viable if rewilding/reforest
  9. For whom the Bell tolls was one of three i liked by Hemingway, the other two already mentioned, but as has been said the books are of their time, i read them nearly 50 years ago so they sat better in context than they would today. As has been said books are in the main written to entertain rather than inform.
  10. Looks well, ready to get on the lamp.
  11. Looks like they'll hold a bit of coat on them, will come in handy waiting on bolts in the wet and cold?
  12. RIP.Sometimes the character makes the dog.
  13. I mostly run little Devon fields but occasionally see something a little bigger.
  14. Work long days 3 a week for 3 weeks then then a 4 day week so get plenty of time off for the dogs. Makes life easier. I semi retire next year so even more time off?
  15. I had planned to go out lamping last night but on review of the horizontal rain decided to give it a miss ??.
  16. The other area is GMO, GMOs: Pros and Cons, Backed by Evidence WWW.HEALTHLINE.COM GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, are very controversial. This article reviews the pros and cons of GMO foods, as supported by science. Pros and Cons of GMO Crop Farming | Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Environmental Science OXFORDRE.COM The global area sown to genetically modified (GM) varieties of leading commercial crops (soybean, maize, canola, and cotton) has expanded over 100-fold over...
  17. For me the Organic issue is one of two interesting areas, the link is from the USA but relevant to us. Why I Don't Buy Organic, And Why You Might Not Want To Either WWW.FORBES.COM By all rights I should be an enthusiastic advocate of organic. I grew up helping my beloved grandfather in his organic garden in the 1960s. Some of our best friends...
  18. I fear young Davey is sold to the pastoral crosses now. Be no going back for him, he'll be after a reverse 1/4 breds next......................................?
  19. Cheers, I'm a fan of Cawsten stuff. For now it's just a hobby really, I take a few commissions. Will semi retire next year so likely be a bit more serious then.
