Ha Ha @ianpspursProof that pigs fly M'Lud. Is that a Welsh Old Spot?
No inspiration from anything specific @ianpspursMorning again from where summer is delayed at the sorting hub according to the attached. Same Evri day lately, I preferred June's Prime weatherStill better than 40+ or needing heating and Sou'westers. Today was the last day of school year in 1993 in Cambs. Like a good boy our youngest son arrived at 14.00 hrs so I could leave at lunch, drive down the A1 from Peterborough and see him arrive. The midwife seemed to think as we already had two I/we could be left alone - not sure my Uncle (top man there) would have been impressed if told but all was well. His brothers were a tad miffed that at two hours old he mustn't be fed the smarties they tried to force feed him. I spent the next few days deep cleaning the house - Milton everywhere, literally, even every light bulb. JKP had had some issues with the pregnancy. @dunelm hug for the need to take so many painkillers but enjoy your walk, time with the youngsters and travels. Thanks for sharing the art and nice start to your post. @gennepher thanks for the creative which seems redolent of Australia to me - deliberate, inspired by daughter? @Annb good on Em for bouncebackability. @SlimLizzy hug for the emotional problems and extra work from the leak. @lindisfel good memory of the GA. @alf_Josiah you have what some call a Honeydo relationship, not uncommon I'm told. Enjoy your day as much as possible everyone. We may have this treasure in earthen vessels and a few tents herein are showing signs of wear but it is still treasure.
One of our sons went through a phase of dying his hair. MrSlim did not approve, but my thinking was if he never does anything worse than dye his hair purple - I will be happy with him. After all hair grows, so it's not likely to be permanent.Yes - she's back to her normal self again. It only upset her for a day or so and then she just shrugged and got on with her own life, in her own inimitable way.
A few weeks ago she had her hair cut in a modern style with one side of her hair cut to about 1/4 inch long and then a pattern shaved into it. The rest of her hair remained at the original length. Then her elder sister dyed her hair red for her. It has been like that for a few weeks with the colour gradually fading. Then, a few days ago, she went, with her sister to a hairdresser and had it recoloured - pink with purple ends. I don't approve, I have to say. She's too young to be experimenting with chemical effects on her hair but - it's her hair and she knows what she wants.
Her parents are doing much the same as I did with Neil when he refused to have his hair cut (a bit younger than Em is) - explain the problems but allow the decision in the hope that it will be grown out of rather than impose our own wishes. It worked for a long while with Neil but I notice that now, in his fifties, he is growing his hair again and wearing it in a kind of mini pony tail high on his head. No way I would even attempt to change his mind now.
Have an amazing video and the best version of this song by a country mile - Joss Ackland is amazing : I'm a bilingual illiterate, I can't read in 2 languagesHope you can find a version which includes the dialogue @gennepher.
Amazing breadth of knowledge on here. Presumably the tourists' concern for life on the planet didn't extend to flying about. How very quaint.Shame 50+ Pilot whales died in a beaching on Lewis. One wonders if it's shipping or large submarines in the underwater environment herding them with low frequence noises?
It could be pollution, they carry a load of PCBs and heavy metals.
I am less concerned about the Faroe population killing them in a fjord periodically because like the Inuit they have done this kind of thing a very long time.
Many tourists were horrified when they saw the slaughter visiting the other week.
If they had read John Buchan's, The Island of Sheep, it described the "Grind" as they called it in the Faroes.

Ackland's dialogue is surreal and what makes the whole thing different class. Appeals to me but I'm a rum cove.ttps://www.petshopboys.co.uk/lyrics/always-on-my-mind
Always on my mind
Maybe I didn't treat youh
quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
all those lonely, lonely times
and I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second-best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
satisfied

I never took the time

News report says that the reason is thought to be that one female had trouble giving birth and for some reason headed for the beach and, being pilot whales, the whole pod followed her. That's just a theory, of course. Such a shame for the poor creatures.Shame 50+ Pilot whales died in a beaching on Lewis.

Couldn't get any info on that - and couldn't hear it either. I'm not totally deaf but I do need to be able to see the speaker speaking and I can't hear anything if there is background noise. One reason not to watch much TV - programmes I might want to watch almost always have background music - quite unnecessarily to my mind.Ackland's dialogue is surreal and what makes the whole thing different class.

Can't disagree with that.Elvis did it better!
Not so sure Dawkins would think mass beaching and birthing would be a survival characteristic.News report says that the reason is thought to be that one female had trouble giving birth and for some reason headed for the beach and, being pilot whales, the whole pod followed her. That's just a theory, of course. Such a shame for the poor creatures.
When my son was at Plymouth University he dyed his hair purple looked quite good then he was approached by someone who was looking for really cool looking students to take part in one of those reality type shows for channel 5 but the show ended up not being made and he lost his chance for fame and fortune.One of our sons went through a phase of dying his hair. MrSlim did not approve, but my thinking was if he never does anything worse than dye his hair purple - I will be happy with him. After all hair grows, so it's not likely to be permanent.
Happy birthday Ian, for your no 3 son 30 today.Morning again from where summer is delayed at the sorting hub according to the attached. Same Evri day lately, I preferred June's Prime weatherStill better than 40+ or needing heating and Sou'westers. Today was the last day of school year in 1993 in Cambs. Like a good boy our youngest son arrived at 14.00 hrs so I could leave at lunch, drive down the A1 from Peterborough and see him arrive. The midwife seemed to think as we already had two I/we could be left alone - not sure my Uncle (top man there) would have been impressed if told but all was well. His brothers were a tad miffed that at two hours old he mustn't be fed the smarties they tried to force feed him. I spent the next few days deep cleaning the house - Milton everywhere, literally, even every light bulb. JKP had had some issues with the pregnancy. @dunelm hug for the need to take so many painkillers but enjoy your walk, time with the youngsters and travels. Thanks for sharing the art and nice start to your post. @gennepher thanks for the creative which seems redolent of Australia to me - deliberate, inspired by daughter? @Annb good on Em for bouncebackability. @SlimLizzy hug for the emotional problems and extra work from the leak. @lindisfel good memory of the GA. @alf_Josiah you have what some call a Honeydo relationship, not uncommon I'm told. Enjoy your day as much as possible everyone. We may have this treasure in earthen vessels and a few tents herein are showing signs of wear but it is still treasure.
