I gather a big earthquake (magnitude 7.7) hit Thailand yesterday. More than 150 people are dead, and several hundred are injured. I'll attach a news report that has striking video of a building under construction in Bankok...

Fleur I guess wildfires are what worry me most. Our house is on high ground so not too much fear of flooding (the main issue in this area).

I’m covering for a gym class this period. Usually I have the kids sign in and the other teachers tell me I can go. The whole department got in trouble last month for some shady stuff so I stayed for about half an hour and they...

I saw a funny entry on Facebook which I thought might make you laugh. It also gives me a reason to put up this photo of my friend’s two rescue Labradors. They were very happy to greet us at the gate and keen to help us unload the...

One of those girls finally laid an egg. It took them long enough to start. Isn't it yummy looking. That might be my breakfast tomorrow. I have the grow out pen finished now. The chicks are out there. They should do great in it....

There was something worth watching last night where the Celebrity Chefs worked on what is called Accordian Cut Potatoes. No doubt they wasted many potatoes - hope that waste was put to good use - but it was fun to watch how they...

Fleur I don't agree. I see children (including mine) engaging with their grandparents and other older relatives and with their friends' grandparents too. But it's a two-way thing, the older people have to be willing to do things the younger ones enjoy as well....

Do what you can in anyway, anyplace and at anytime. For all the people that you can. As long as you can. Help those who need you and you will feel good for helping others when you can. That is what all of us should do.

Fleur I've definitely never heard it, but then I guess it's not the kind of saying we'd have a lot of use for here! Never heard of hessian water bags either, I'm really surprised they would actually hold water. I may have to test that out myself just to prove it...

Fleur I would like to do the same; unfortunately I'm very bad at getting to bed early. I often manage the getting up early part though - then eventually I'm just exhausted!

Fleur We sent the car for an MOT test; it passed and everything was fine, but then when I went to pick it up it wouldn't start! Nobody knew why because they gave it a test drive just a few minutes before. So now it's still at the garage and they haven't figured out...
