    It is spring and my phone bird is back, ringing away. It hasn't been around since Autumn so I have to now assume it is migrating but comes back to the same place, which narrows the field down a bit and I think rules out our initial guesses of a starling or blackbird. Any other thoughts?
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    That's DH's thought too as he can never hear it. Preferably followed up by a long stay in a padded cell so he can have long term ownership of the remote control.

    Ooh, I went to the Lake District earlier in the month and for the first time ever I had chips and gravy. Was great!

    Can't get it round here. H has bought me chips tonight and specially made me Bisto gravy granules. I'm perfectly happy :)

    Ha!

    IN YOUR FACE, PN!!!!

    :D

    Doozer, surely with your relative proximity to my good self you should be able to find this delicatessen everywhere?

    Out of interest, what sports to people follow, if any?

    My favourites are F1, MotoGP and athletics; like but not favourites: track cycling, swimming, football (World Cup/European Cup/Champions League only), American football (blame DH, high scoring games only), rowing, diving, speedway (but only watched live), skiing, bobsleigh. Not interested: tennis, golf. Don't like: cricket.

    I play crown green bowls. I should play more, current circs prevent.. However have spent time playing badminton regularly, golf, used to play 5 a side regularly. As a nipper I played a hell of a lot of table tennis - great game/sport.

    I follow football (allegedly, being a Wolves supporter). I will watch most sports on tv if it is there...

    We're evenly matched though. I'd absolutely hate to be with someone who rolled over and gave in all the time.

    I've only seen a picture of part of her leg, and that was amazingly breathtaking already, so I believe you.



    Especially when hung above the fireplace. Apologies to any NP who have their telly above the fireplace, but it just looks wrong IMO.

    Oh good lord yes! In ten foot high letters!!!!
