You got it wrapped up alright.....those skirting boards at least lol
-
Yep lack of oxygen in this weather unless there is a spring feeding in fresh water

It sounds like you made a similar mistake to me, I had done stop whistle, I had my dog retrieving like a rocket. I combined the both, saw it worked, done it more and more and then the dog started to expect the stop whistle, his retrieve got slower and he start looking back at me and it all turned to ratshit I think you have to break down every exercise, not combine more than one and just drum it into them gently but consistently. If you are doing stop whistle then do it without the retrieve until you have total success then test it during a retrieve to make sure it works....dogs are very

Have you thought about stocking with brownies instead? It's probably just died a natural death and been dragged out by something

Manchester was like that if it even got up to 28 degrees....it's so nice to be near the sea now and get a fresh breeze but we're in a valley and it's a right suntrap.....nice if you like that sort of thing.

Yeh I thought it might be but it looked quite big, I was just sitting outside mucking about with the camera, must have been the sun. She was decimating the cherry tree

Stupid question alert....is this really just a blackbird? Maybe it was the sun but it really stood out I guess this is a juvenile coal tit

They had problems with White tail spiders in Adelaide which caused necrosis of tissue like that, less likely to kill than some spiders but more likely cause horrible damage

Paying the price of gardening in this weather....got a dark tan on neck and arms and no where else lol

They are fascinating but there is just something about them that freaks me out. Strangely enough scorpions don't trigger that fear instinct at all yet they're poisonous unlike our UK spiders. The monster camel spiders did help me get over my fear of house spiders since they're nowhere near as scary lol Don't want to trigger your fear further, but almost ALL spiders are venomous ! If it make you feel any better, most venom isn't strong enough to harm anything human-sized, or their fangs can't penetrate our skin.......most,that is ! I've been bitten by a house spider on the ear

That's how I feel, I don't really feel like doing much in this weather, it's ok for a few nice pics but I can't wait for Autumn.

We used to see these grotesque freaks in the desert quite often, they are called camel spiders but aren't actually a spider since they have 10 legs. They have huge jaws and are one of the fastest insects in the world. There are a lot of untrue stories about them especially that they eat human flesh but I can say they do run at you, and I mean charge towards you....I never got to find out what they would do when they got to me because I would just run away In the evening you could stand outside and watch them charging across the pad hunting for insects, the last one I saw was in Kurdistan

I think he's playing it very smart but no matter what these decisions are taken on advice and not just on a whim by presidents. Clinton would be dealing with the same situation and personally I think she would be doing a worse job. China is in a very serious economic mess (not quite happened yet) and they are the key to the NK nuclear issue.....any trade tariffs would send them into a recession so the US has all the cards. The US has sent lots of anti missile systems and radar systems to SK and Japan which has really upset the Chinese....no doubt part of the negotiation. The US also p

Hate walnuts but LOVE pickled walnuts

They go there to be upgraded or 'stacked' (left idle) when the oil prices are low. They wont decommission North Sea rigs, when they get old they will be sent overseas where the health and safety etc are less strict
-
Can we have some please...don't let anyone tell you Anglesey is wet lol I'm as brown as when I was working in the desert
-
US will continue to use sanctions on China and Russia and they have a lot of bargaining power since both China and Russia are extremely economically vulnerable....having said that China has used NK as a bargaining tool as well. It's definitely coming to a head but I doubt it will lead to war unless NK is really a lone gun and China has no control over them which I doubt.

Down to the last couple of glasses left, that was very very nice! I am really surprised because I hated those horrible floral drinks you can buy which are often called elderflower (but probably have other things like rose hip) so did not expect to like this at all. I cannot wait till next year we're going to make loads of it

The Beauty Of Nature, "add Yours"

I found this today, a Vapourer Caterpillar I think -
That black Lab was right in there first for the food but the other dogs used it as a stepping stone to get theirs

I've had limited access to British media for a week, or two, are we just seeing the tip of the iceberg? This was from 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31691061

It makes you wonder how many lives are being ruined because of the lack of interest shown by the relevant authorites. This one is truly sickening and I'm sure the scandal is only going to grow... We are talking several hundred thousand victims for sure, that is from the mouth of a Labour MP. It's rife especially in the North West and North East, I know someone who was one courses being run by the council to teach teachers and other public section bodies about it and it's horrifying.
