oooh what are the drink things? You could try the salt licking for a day or two just to see if it helps but if you have an instinct of 'no' ...could be a reason.
I think the heat is going away on Saturday for a while ...in fact the rain could come back (no please no).

Actually, I'll post this here was having a chat with team yesterday about big gentle horses and photo shoots and things. Photographer lived in your area until recently but still connected to down that way.

Would be for summer range 13 though shooting wouldn't take place until Nov when it's cold and dark and miserable. I'll have a think and message you in a few eeks time if I have an idea. The team is only small (3 people) and it only takes 2 hours usually.

Oh, the drink thongs...there are. Loads of em in italy, but my. Favourite is called idrodrena which we buy on the coop, never fpund that one anywhere else. Its a sachet you add to a litre and a half of water and magically deflates one, but you need to be near a loo.......piddle-oh-rama follows.

I'm always warning my students against herbal teas as many of them have drug effects; for example mint tea seems diuretic.

I seem to recall that it's apparently the universal antidote to homeopathic drugs and people who take those treatments have to find non-mint toothpastes.:D

Well, people who don't take them and are like me get so swollen they find walking almost impossible.

Incidental,y, do you warn them of normal teas and coffees too? Or eating Food? Dietary support for health is such a first line defence its crazy to ignore. And thats quite aside from just enjoying some mint tea (which is delicious)

I use nutraceuticals a lot with animals, and was having a good chat with the vet on wednesday as i did not want to use his nutriant suppliment for special girl for a reason specific to her and he had not thought of it. With animals competing at a high level every mouthful counts.

Fwiw i do use mint toothpaste, but it makes me wretch, so i do buy other flavours when i see them, but i think few of the 'health shop' brands come close to the efficiency of the main mint brands. So i put upnwith the wretching.

And much, much more besides. There's an argument that it's best to buy mixes of herbal teas to prevent drug effects building up.

Anyway there's enough harmful chemicals in foodstuffs what with the notorious fire retardant DHMO being added to many basic foods. :eek:

I can get to all of those pretty quickly.. It's more a case of where he can get back to. Stanmore is current fave as you can just get on/stay on.

they reckon they can move 25,000 people an hour on the javelin train from stratford to st pancras, which is probably as many if not more than you can shift on the tube in that time, and it only takes 8 minutes or something like that.

alternatively he can just stay in stratford and get smashed, and then get the last tube home arriving in stanmore at 3am! that's what i would do.

Does anyone know how long the olympic opening ceremony is likely to last? I am trying to decide whether i should pop chooks in early to watch it.
