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.

Sounds quite depressing. After reading Jay Lake's blog (he was a science fiction author who died this week from cancer) I just don't want to watch or read more about dying people for a while.
I'm personally planning to achieve immortality through not dying.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Lydia, I can't provide the link on my phone but if you run a search on Birmingham City Council's planning portal page, the postcode is B38 8BL - 69 Beaks Hill Road, but their planning application pops up first anyway. You're looking to open associated documents.

I really like the idea of non-grass lawns. My front garden is grass + some other big plants, and it's a pain lugging the mower round to the front of the house. I was thinking that I would end up gravelling where the grass is, but I really like the idea of having alternative planting instead. I've already bought a LOT of baby lavender plants, which I'm planning to use to line the path to the front door (delusions of grandeur or what
) with if I can keep some alive long enough to be big enough to plant out.
That's a nice website. Though I've got a bit of a problem with some of the graphs/data they mention

If y ou read the FAQ section on preparation, he started by digging up and carting away the top six cms of soil over the entire lawn area. This is, as he says, a premium product!No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

<hugs> hope it happens soon. Are you taking some chocolate valium-replacement, as advised by LIR?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

I thought that during the great expansion, the matter hadn't cooled enough to make electrons etc so we couldn't see it...?
Also, if something is moving away at faster than the speed of light would we ever be able to see it? We see stuff because it reflects light. The light couldn't catch up with something moving faster than it to be reflected!
No idea if any of that is right BTW. This is the interwebs though so why let thay stop me!
Almost. During the great expansion there were charged things, including electrons, but they hadn't combined into neutral atoms yet. Charges that are free to move absorb light - that's why you can't see through metal - so any light that there was just got absorbed again.
In everyday life we mostly see things because they reflect light. In astronomy, we can only see things by reflected light within our own Solar System - our Moon, the planets, comets etc. Further away than that, it's too far for reflected light to be bright enough to see, so we only see things like stars that shine their own light.lemonjelly wrote: »Unpacking proper started across saturday & sunday (though I went bowling saturday for a rest!). Shamefully, I've pretty much devoted most of my time to sorting the music room. New stereo is set up, vinyl in its place. 70% of cd's sorted.
Managed to bodge the tv aerials sunday. At least there is a signal (for now). Was weird being so out of all loops for days.
Have now unpacked the majority of stuff. Just need to find homes for things.
Need to work out the boiler too - still have no hot water. Popped elsewhere for a shower/shave the other day. Kettle washing isn't a long term plan!
Need to work out where pictures etc are going. Need to have a thorough sort of clothes too. I also need to stop walking into rooms, surveying the vast amount of stuff that needs doing, shaking my head, then repeating in various other rooms. Things are happening slowly. Normal life is starting to resume though, back at work now etc, so it'll be a case of pottering about.
Have settled very quickly (too quickly?) Sitting by the pond, watching the wildlife with a cuppa has become very easy.
2 important things:
1 - I have some amazing friends - of the pixel variety, & in real life. I'm indebted to so many people for help, advice, support & the amount of carrying they've done.
2 - the babies appear to be fine. one is still on a ventilator (they are non-identical twins & were only 3.4/3.6) & are still in intensive care, but appear to be fighters (with ridiculously big feet!)
a) Sorting the music room early on isn't shameful.
b) Hope you get hot water soon.
c) V glad to hear your 2 important things.I started with 360 :eek:
Think I'm probably down to around 330 now. This month's installment means 1/3 of it is properly mine
Well done. Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

You set it up, then connect it to the tap, then turn the tap on. When you want to turn it off, you do that in the reverse order.Doozergirl wrote: »Lydia, I can't provide the link on my phone but if you run a search on Birmingham City Council's planning portal page, the postcode is B38 8BL - 69 Beaks Hill Road, but their planning application pops up first anyway.

Thank you. I'd worked out that it was Beaks Hill Road but didn't have the postcode or house number. Just searching for "Beaks Hill Road" produced a strange list including lots of planning applications that claimed to have been approved in 1901, but I suspect were 2001!
