Just thought I'd say that I'm scared of old furniture, been looking at the pianos Sorry. Don't know why as we had one when I was a kid. Mr Duke's piano went on to become famous. He now has a piano size keyboard Useless info really.

Oh so sorry Duke! I didn't know! Are you ok? Are they far enough back in the thread, now, or would you like me to delete them?

How did Mr Duke's piano become famous? If it's not too revealing, that is.

Talking about black dogs, there's a really good animation from the World Health Organisation.

It might be a penguin for some as if does have good drawings of how you might feel at your lowest, but also has some good tips - so watch it on a better day.

(Can a black dog be a penguin? Discuss! )

My eyes! Why did I search for images of an earth closet?! At least I know what it is now, I just need to look at kittens for a while and scrub my brain.

Aw, Duke. Lots of random things can be scary to different people. A famous piano? I totally understand if you can't say why but I am curious, too!

Hello, JM! How did the presentation go? That animation was amazing! Utterly perfect for describing how depression feels. I have bookmarked it.

Hahahahaha! Perfect, Pyxis!

Aw, the macaroni penguin is cute! Look at the little feathers on his head! No idea what "'e dansa La Tarantella" is/means so off to search. I might cry if this is to do with earth closets again!

Penguin alert

This just popped into my inbox - actually a great thing to get involved with

Today we welcome a new project (and a new species!) to the Zooniverse. Penguin Watch asks you to tag penguins in amazing images from around Antarctica. Find the project at https://www.penguinwatch.org


Penguin populations are declining but the harsh conditions of the Antarctic make monitoring them logistically challenging. Researchers from around the world have established a remote camera network to monitor penguin colonies across the Southern Ocean. By tagging images from these cameras on Penguin Watch, you can help scientists understand how and why penguin populations are declining – and how to best protect them.


Penguins play an important role in the Antarctic ecosystem and are considered sentinels of change – any variations in penguin dynamics may reflect larger changes to the environment. Climate change, fisheries, disease, and pollution are all prime suspects in driving penguin population decline. Penguin Watch will help the researchers understand more.


To take part, visit https://www.penguinwatch.org and follow the short tutorial to get going with your first image. You can discuss images at talk.penguinwatch.org and you’ll find the project on Twitter and Facebook.


Thanks,


Rob and the Zooniverse Team

We put mama Hetty and baby Hetty next to each other, and waited to see how long it would take for DD to notice (about 3 seconds). She had a grin on her face 20 miles wide. She is so happy with her new toy. She has been playing with it all evening. I think she's vacuuming the bedrooms now!
