Probably the last time this year we'll have sprouts :( We had them with orange zest and hazelnuts as a side to pan fried salmon . Easy, fast, hot!

This is no longer advised if your dog has spit on treatments for fleas/ other parasites as it's harming birds:(

Bad news is still progress - it means you are getting closer to a treatment plan that works . But still, unsettling and stressful.

Ah good. No one told me for years that my bp was so variable because of the bed rest stuff .

Emily , are you like me and reclined a significant amount of time? This significantly impacts blood pressure readings and your healthcare provider should be aware of that .

Pardon our interruption...

I don't love crisps often . But Ocado stock marks sweet potato tortilla chips. They have seeds in them and so are high fibre and tasty.

Cirio baked beans are also delicious- better tasting, smaller beans

It's hands down my favourite blue bloom- yes, even more than mecanopsis - plus it's so easy to grow

Lucky boy! Suits them too, hallelujah used to busy himself all day on the farm- and ran 6 miles each morning! Now they have less - couple of years of lesser walking when Dogtor was a pup . Phaia is happy with a ten minute sprint πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

She gets a daily walk anyway - off lead and round fields with the other two and a free play in fields and barns each evening - our road walks together are a bonus!

Omgoodness, what amazing towels! We want fun ones like that!

In truth though I'm not sure it would surprise my neighbours- we are the weirdos of the area!

We did ! Went up to one of the villages nearest to us and paddled in a stream briefly then came home. Lead walks just the two of us with no work are bonding β™₯️

We did. Husband pointed out no one could see my clothes under my winter coat which covers me down to the ankles in my wheel chair . So I would have got dressed but instead went out in nighty and big coat !

I don't know Valletta at all but am a wheelchair user. Have you considered one of the small folding mobility scooters? Travel friendly and light so you can use them in flat areas but carry them up stairs - so you can mixture walk/ ride?

I hope you are right that they remember.

Yes- tapping out temporarily helps me stay engaged longer term.

Dog walks and hands in soil are remarkably important β™₯️

I wanna take the Dogtor for a walk but I don't want to change out of my warm comfy nightdress. Life throws us hard choices sometimes.

But more so - I think older voters especially use trad media - papers , tv, radio. It's this that is my gripe. ( I simply avoid news atm for mental health reasons)

Me too- but the majority of the population don't and need to have this information. Ignorance threatens democratic process so easily.

Is much of this being covered in the media? I am under the vague impression most believe it was Iran. We need the information that it could be provocation from IDF

It states astronomers are concerned. This human is concerned. But ecologists must be too. Those focused on welfare of creatures other than humans. Already our level of light is showing up problematically with marine life.
