That`s really hot and humid ! I am glad in Germany it is hot but dry.
Excuse me!
"Very little of interest"?
The majority of my family were coal miners, agricultural labourers, soldiers and experienced peasants.Our gatekeeping branch (surname Gate) operated a toll gate on a route from Bristol to London. They were our upper class. Most of my family never went to school and i was the first ever to get 'A' levels, let alone go to university. I think the stories I was told of their lives were very interesting!
Heroes who died or survived from Sedgemoor though to World War II, the pit collapse stories, the schools with no teachers. Wonderful, all of it, I'm proud of my heritage.
I used to poach rabbits as a child.
Luckily, the local farmers didn't mind and their weren't gamekeepers where i lived.
I've got a skeleton now.
The jellyfish don't.
I hope your neighbours are now cured !Good morning/afternoon all.
The cops are coming around this afternoon - well at least one community PO is.
She was just going to go straight to their house but I wanted to show her what they'd done so insisted she call here first.
I get the feeling they aren't really interested in neighbour problems.
She said that she would go and tell them the law but if they denied it there was nothing she could do.
We'll see - at least they'll have the shock of a PO turning up and will realise I've had enough.
Hope everyone is having a good Friday!!
A good Friday for you too.
Yup, and though I trust my tortoise sitter implicitly, I can never leave Morocco as it would be impossible to export the Todge. So here we stay until we die, as she will surely outlive us.
Like some cats. Not at all like this Turkish breed - Van Cat. (Van is a lake in an eastern province, not a vehicle.)Hi Lena, I didn`t know that you are water-shy like a cat ! LOL !
Nearly got there , but not quite.
Wales have only qualified once, 1958, an interesting story.
In their qualifying group they beat Czechoslovakia, a good team, but then lost to East Germany and the Czechs to be bottom of the group before the final game against the East Germans which they won 4-1. Wales finished second which was not enough to qualify.
However, Israel had qualified without playing a match due to politics and so were supposed to play Belgium to qualify, but Belgium pulled out
Wales played them instead and beat Israel 2-0 in both legs, the second one being notable as Wales' manager was the assistant manager of Man Utd and he went with Wales instead of travelling on the Man Utd aircraft that crashed and tragically killed so many young men.
So Wales qualified and were drawn against Mexico, the Magnificent Magyars (Hungary) and Sweden who were the host nation.
First was an excellent 1-1 draw with Hungary (honest, they were good then!) In the Mexico game, Wales led 1-0 for most of the match but an equalizer was scored in the final minute; 1-1.
A 0-0 draw against Sweden followed earning Wales a play off against Hungary to qualify for the last eight which they won 2-1.
In the quarter-final against Brazil, an unknown 17 year old, whipper-snapper called Pele scored the only goal to knock out Wales. Pele went on to score 5 more in the tournament as Brazil won it for the first time.
Have skeletons in the closet.?
Or anywhere.
Herring?
SNAP !
You caught me. I knew about the VAN CAT. I forgot that they like to swim and that they catch fish. When it is true.
A banana tree?
Skeletons in the closet ??????
Ah, I remember you`ve said that you swallow everything whole .... That is scary !
If I can get him off my leg, you can have this one.What a lovely lush looking garden you have there.
I've just bought some bamboo for screening in my garden.
It will have to stay in big pots as it is the running variety so will take over if I plant it in the soil.
All I need now is a giant panda to go with it!
I'm off on a day trip to Ojai, California, to the Turtle Conservancy. If they allow pictures and allow them to be posted on the 'net, I'll bring pictures back with me. I put my camera in my purse yesterday so I wouldn't forget to bring it!
