2 hours in a nuclear bunker & time out nearly with us

USA has red faces after a nun and 2 blokes break into a nuclear facility

Not only did they break into the facility which makes maintains and dismantles nuclear weapons they wandered around it for 2 hours before being discovered.
"Officials" reportedly said "there was never any danger of the group getting their hands on any nuclear material"
Instead of saying "this is highly embarrassing and corrective measures have already been put into place to make sure this cannot happen again!" - - -

Another example of messing around with wild animals emerges here after Snake pastor dies - - - from snake bite

The pastor Jamie Coots had been handling snakes for 20 years or so after taking literally a passage from the bible.
He had been bitten 8 times before and "had never had such a severe reaction!"
The pastor had refused medical treatment on the grounds that he believed in faith healing"
His son told the local TV station "We are going to go home, he's going to lay on the couch, he's going to hurt, he's going to pray a while and he's going to get better - - - wrong sooooo wrong! - - -

The glorious summer of 2013 of which we are now paying the price for seems to have helped our population of Butterflies according to this story.

Peppered with facts, figures and some nice pics the story relates how the butterfly "bounced back" in the UK last year.  A word of warning though appears late in the article as to how the over wintering ones will cope with the exceptionally wet winter we are having.  Only time will tell.  - - -

Closer to home
Yesterday turned out not to be a Kitchen Garden project day except to marvel at the skill of Amanda and her boss completing the dry stone walling job

The building on the left is an old unused stable block and the wall runs down the driveway to our terraced houses.

Our attention turned to dotting I's and crossing T's for the fast approaching "Time out" on our Maldive holiday before having an hour in the garden testing out the swinging seats discussing what we will get up to on the trip
Without a doubt there will be some strolling along this bit to the sand bar!

Enjoy the day
