    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.

    Swedish entry very good. Stands a great chance of winning but please don't listen to me if you are thinking of betting. My favourite though was Portugal. What a lovely little song. I have no idea what he is singing about though.

    Why hasn't the moon moved tonight?

    I noticed it earlier .... and it's now brighter, but still in the same place... not sure when I saw it earlier, maybe 2 hours ago.

    It's supposed to move.

    Is the moon on strike?

    Careful PN, conspiracy theorists may be reading this.

    I wonder what effect it would have on tides if it did go on strike.

    PN I have no idea if you mind the suggestions or not but know sometimes I am looking for empathy rather than answers.

    Is it Denmark or Holland or Germany where they have special playgrounds for the elderly? Not joking now. They've been shown to improve physical and cognitive health.
    It is very often Benelux, Germany Scandinavia or the alpine democracies. Why the heck is it never us that has the good ideas (or carries them out)?

    Are we the only place north of the Danube that thinks we're too poor to afford that?

    Quite a lot, it has far more gravitational influence than the sun does.

    Probably me as well. :(

    I do agree that sometimes validation is what is required rather than explanation or solution.

    On the other hand, if someone is 'suffering', it's hard not to try to alleviate that suffering by looking for a solution.
    It doesn't mean that the problem is being trivialised, or disbelieved; quite the opposite.
    If I knew you in RL, Pastures, I'd offer to do the approaching/talking/letter-writing for you.

    Sorry for any upset. :(

    Presumably there wouldn't be any tides.

    More worrying is what it might do to physiological systems.

    Not to mention the eradication of Easter! :D

    And then there's romance. No more reasons to wander out into the garden at night, hand-in-hand..................
