Is it covered with painted canvas?

Why? How can focusing on prevention rather than treatment of ill health be a cock up? We need a lot more effort on the public health front, amongst other measures. Things are going to get a hell of a lot worse if nothing is done. We are as a whole a very sick nation already. I'm astounded and saddened by the number of obese 5 - 10 year olds I see in the pool when I take my son to swimming lessons. You know where they're going to end up in 20 years time.

That's a beauty. I bet it's light as a feather isn't it, how much does it weigh?

NHS must reform or die, PM warns, after critical report WWW.BBC.CO.UK People have "every right to be angry", Sir Keir Starmer says, as review criticises state of the health service in England. """In a speech, the prime minister will respond to the report by promising “the biggest reimagining of the NHS” since it was formed, with a new 10-year plan for the health service to be published in the coming months. He will propose three key areas of reform: the transition to a digital NHS, moving more care from hospitals to communities, and focusing efforts on prevention over sickness. """ The third proposal is very sensible and much needed. The second proposal might be sensible, but I don't think GPs would currently agree. The first proposal I'm not convinced on; could be a recipe for mega expensive fckups, based on previous experience with government IT systems.

Some serious myth busting there. I stand corrected.

Yep, that was my assumption as well. I couldn't grasp the fact that such a horrendous thing as a plane flying into a skyscraper could happen twice.

That's the badger!

I've always thought timber was drier in the winter. No hard evidence for that, more just a feeling based on stuff I've seen and heard. Like the firewood example above, or coppicing being done in the winter because the poles last longer due to being drier, (one of the reasons). Or spring being the time to tap Birch trees for wine making. I think there's obviously still sap there in the winter, just less of it. Just found this. In this very commendable book.

Nice idea but how's it going to work in practice? I'm thinking about packing up and closing the tailgate at the end of the day. You'll need secure fixings to take the weight of the vice as well. I've seen a picture somewhere of a mobile blacksmith or farrier's vehicle where the anvil or vice was mounted on a slide. So pulled out over the back for work and then stowed away inside for travel.

He was thinking about how to save all those cats and dogs from being eaten by those horrible Haitians.

Not a bad effort I thought, aside from that glaring error.

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Indeed. The fact that Algae has at least four different patterns of lifecycle is pretty crazy. We humans think we're so clever with our machines, our computers and our AI, but we're not a patch on the natural world. We'll never be able to create that level of complexity. -
Tell you what, I'm enjoying this Milk Stout. It's like drinking chocolate velvet, with a big bitter hit on the finish to even things out.

I'd go for something like Laurel, harder wearing. Or Holly, you'll stick in people's minds then.

What's this then? I assume Fungi as Lichen would take years to accrue that much coverage. The Mrs thought it was paint at first. Until I point out that we were in the middle of a wood, and why would someone bother? -
No surprise in that story. Sleazebag is being generous, criminal would be more apt. He makes Starmer seem like a saint. The real surprise is that a few people still defend him so doggedly.

Not even a lettuce would seek advice from that silly woman.

Exactly my sentiments. I'm not happy if it takes more than 5 minutes. When I gets to 10 I'm feeling decidedly tense and restless. Completely in the hands of Lady Luck though.

Looks sound to me. Attractive and concise, all you need from a business card. I too used Vistaprint for mine. Many years ago now but I was happy with them.
