COLD DARK ROOM

Fermented milk is simply unsweetened yoghurt!

That reminds me, I must try making yoghurt in my insta pot still.

But usually that doesn’t come from a horse. [emoji23]

Lol.

There are wolves, bears and big cats in Europe too... and bugs and reptiles that will do you more harm than British ones!

Daughter shared this amazing video with me the other day. It was filmed in the Champagne region of northern France last year and shows the huge diversity of species using a log as a bridge. Includes European Lynx, wild cat, stoat, weasel, badgers and many more.

Lena, I think your daughter will love this video

Never mind Lena's daughter, I loved it. What was the animal who walked past with the teats, she must have been feeding babies and I wonder if the two who walked over the log later was her babies all grown up? I am presuming that this video was taken over a period of time and then edited.

 

[CarolM]

We did kill off a lot of them (

Fantastic video. But why did it keep showing my neighbor’s cats?.. [emoji23]

European wild cats look very like domestic cats and are closely related. Unfortunately inter-breeding means they are dying out.

There is a small population in Scotland

Very interesting.

I will look through it and identify it shortly. We are nearly at the in-laws so I have to socialise a little

This is “the best bits” over time from a single year.

I assume you mean the big cat, the Eurasian Lynx.

There’s also a marten of some sort, a mink, red fox,

And the snake is a full size grass snake only hazardous to frogs, mice and voles.

So I take it that you do very small gifts then.

Because there’re three holidays - the two Christmases and the New Year’s - we usually gave gifts on just one of these days. It has been strictly December 25 for us since daughter was born. I did buy a small box of discounted Christmas candy this morning, but it’ll be nothing like the first Christmas.

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Thank you, you are a true friend.

Stick to cow’s milk when you do.

That looked like a fox to me. And there was at least one younger fox afterwards. I didn’t know the names of most of the birds and rodents in the video, but I loved how the wildcat was tempted to hunt some of the diving frogs. [emoji23]

A lot of work. But I’m glad you’ll be warm for the rest of the winter and it won’t sap your budget.

You are really going out on a limb with some of these puns. Keep them coming.

When i traveled about Nepal afew years back, I know all the yoghurt we had was from Water Buffalo, and some from Yak.

It was awesome.

Good strategy.

Most definitely.

Did it taste nice?

Good Sunday all.
Today is going to be a good day. I can feel it. [emoji3]
I think we might go to the beach. I will watch hubby do some boogie boarding, probably also take a nice stroll down the beach and see if I can get a nice tan.

I let scooby out into the front garden and he was jumping and hoping around in the flower bed. Thought nothing of it until I saw that he had caught a small bird. Then the chase was on, me trying to get scooby to drop the bird and scooby trying to keep it and play cat and mouse with it. I eventually managed to get it away from Scooby and have put it in the aviary. Hopefully it survives and I can then release is it. Shame poor thing it was so tiny.
Anyway I hope everyone has a good Sunday and I will chat later.

Happy Sunday! I would like to see pics of the aviary and the new bird... enjoy the beach and be careful with the tan!!

@JoesMum
Love that video!

Good morning everyone... I will be sticking with my cows milk as well..
Looks like another beautiful Texas day.. my muscles are protesting the slight amount of action they received yesterday but I’ve no choice but to start over again today!! Toast n coffee and out the door!

@Kristoff
Your generosity should be an example for us all... but rest easy knowing that their will be a couple extra thighs for you both. I’m a “two breast” kinda gal so that’s a couple extra thighs for the both of you [emoji16].
