A story carried by most agencies is the Melting Jaguar!
apparently the reflection from a new building, still under construction in Fenchurch Street London. A van driver also relates a similar problem in the
same Sky News Story All the plastic on the dashboard and down one side of the van had been melted. I wonder what the solution to stopping the problem will be?
Here's an amusing story from the BBC, The Gardiners Frog
listens with its mouth
It lives on the Seychelles islands and is meant to be the smallest frog in the world. The amusing bit for me is I know a few people who could benefit from "listening with their mouths" rather than attempting to communicate with it!
The old dear Diana Nyad has finally hit the US after swimming the 110 miles from
Cuba to Florida
She's completed all manner of endurance swims in her time but this one looks like it has been one of the most difficult as well as being her fifth attempt at the swim.
Nearer to home we are still having very good weather in one of the best summers I can remember for a long time. I went for a short walk yesterday and its easy to see that Autumn is only just around the corner.
The grass was being cut the second time in the fields for winter animal feed on the hill in the pic above. The hawthorn berries are turning their vivid red. A couple of the trees along my route looked already to have started to shut down nutrients to their browning leaves. We will hopefully be entertained by the Autumn colours for a while before the onset of winter.
Near to the end of my Week off period and of course looking forward to another set of shifts at the Fun Factory known locally as Sainsbugs Matlock, I bumped into my boss "lets call her TracEy" crossing the car park. One colleagues sickness has thrown her work roster in to confusion and she didn't have anyone to "do the bread" on Wednesday. After a brief discussion and a later phone call, I'm working Wed and having Thursday off which would normally be the start of my shift pattern.
Finally - - - The long awaited "measuring up" of our little parcel of encroached land took place yesterday
The boundary of the garden is actually 2 thirds the way down the side of the shed that can be seen in the pic. We had always realised one day we might be asked to give it up but having been offered the extra bit we decided to go ahead. Jenny, one of the
Peak Organics owners, and our former neighbour, is holding one of the canes we used to "peg it out". So we now officially own another 32 square metres of our "green and pleasant land!"
Enjoy the day
